I still haven't decided if I'm going to stick (another) | wireless card in my gateway machine or buy an access point/bridge. The | prices of PCMCIA card cages are frightfully high, making the cost roughly | the same, and the access point would support infrastructure mode also. Well this is what I'm doing with the Aironet stuff. I have a script to flip between modes until it sync's up. I bought the PCMCIA ISA adapter for $25 from a local surplus place. BTW I saw ADDTRON http://www.addtron.com/ has a base station for around $220 that can do 128 bit encryption, has an antenna and is Web administered. I haven't used it but it looks interesting.
