generally speaking, can the current generation of 802.11 wireless routers that sell for around $50 or sometimes even less work as an ethernet bridge (in conjunction with another wireless bridge or ad-hoc with a wireless nic)?

This is the one I've heard of - Linksys WET11: http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=36&prid=432 I know of people using these to make their Tivo's wireless, and attach old iMacs to WiFi networks. My D-Link DWL-900AP is supposed to also function as a bridge, you are supposed to be able to turn of the WAP mode, but I haven't gotten that feature to work, and I've heard from others that it doesn't work very well. But if you can find one it costs about 1/2 the price of the WET11.

Peace.
