Hi Alan, Personally i would recommend the "Buffalo WHR-G54S-1" - currently £28.78 (free P&P) from amazon. It's very Linux friendly (it's even running it inside). It supports 802.11g (currently the fastest official standard) & has 4 wired Ethernet ports.
Also, if you want to - you can even load custom firmware onto it. One good one is, http://www.dd-wrt.com . This is very easy to do, and will even allow you to 'ssh' in. It will basically be a headless linux box. If you do decide to run the custom firmware and require assistance, feel free to give me a shout.
