Cheap 802.11b gear
Techbargains.com came through once again: Circuit City was dumping their Siemens Speedstream line, and I picked up a wireless router / 4-port for $30, and a pcmcia card for $20.

Got the router to work rather quickly by plugging its WAN port into my existing 8-port hub; given the local DHCP server it worked right away adding a second subnet. Wireless setup was relatively straightforward under XP, Linux looks a little harder as usual.
