This is the one I've heard of - Linksys WET11: 
http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=36&prid=432  I 
know of people using these to make their Tivo's wireless, and attach old 
iMacs to WiFi networks.  My D-Link DWL-900AP is supposed to also 
function as a bridge, you are supposed to be able to turn of the WAP 
mode, but I haven't gotten that feature to work, and I've heard from 
others that it doesn't work very well.  But if you can find one it costs 
about 1/2 the price of the WET11.

Peace.
