Good luck finding a Linux-supported wireless card. I drove all over town once looking for one. You'll probably end up with a PCMCIA adapter and a laptop wireless card.

The other other alternative is a short network cable to a wireless
bridge.  The better consumer routers can operate in this mode.  I'm
using a little dedicated bridge on my print server, the D-Link
DWL-800AP+.  It works, but I don't recommend this device.  The
firmware is lousy.
