I've seen ethernet-802.11b converters made by some other company, not Avaya but I think SMC (I am not sure). They were around $120. Alternative is to have AP which can work as a client. If your main AP is AT76C510 based (Linksys WAP11,D-link DWL-1000, SMC 2655W,Addtron AWS-110 etc.) then put any other AT76C510 based in the client mode. You should get one in $100-$120 range (Addtron even below). Though I am not completely positive about Addtron as I have not tested it myself. But it looks to be AT76C510 so should be OK. Another option is OpenAP (google for openap) compatible AP, this is also $100-$120 range. If you did not want it portable then $25 486 desktop + $45 PCI USR 802.11b card + Linux are the cheapest solution. Prices I mentioned are not average but ones you can get if you shop around for some time. wireless 2 USB and USB 2 ethernet won't work as you need USB master.
