[plug] Questions what is required for wireless setup

[Dave Cook]

Hey All,
 
I would like to look at getting a wireless setup happening - the network
and phone cable running down the hallway is driving my GF mad..
 
Current setup is:
 
P133 running Linux with modem attached running at internet gateway and
squid cache for my main pc
Main PC Duron 750 (soon to be XP2000+ as soon as I get new ram and mobo)
- running WinXP - will dual boot to with linux when running XP2000+
GF's PC Cele 500 running Win2k
Also have a Kyocera fs-1700 with network connected too
 
All connected via 8 port switch - often connect other boxes to switch
when rebuilding for friends/family etc.
 
Do I just need to go for a wireless pci card for GFs computer, then get
a wireless AP (with bridge mode) to connect to the switch, or is it more
complicated than that?  My GF's computer needs to be able to communicate
with the linux box, main PC and Printer without having to stuff around
with configuration changes.
 
Thanks for any advice - suggestions on brands would also be welcomed -
thinking of 802.11G, but need to keep costs reasonable.
 
Cheers,
Dave
