Stay away from linksys, thier gear is shit. Dlink tends to behave a bit better. Go with 802.11b, it's cheap, and an established standard. D-Link's USB adapters are pretty decent, though belkin's get better range. Also... 802.11a and g USB adaptors do not seem to be available. A DWL-614+ and a pair of DWL-120+s will probably work well. You will probably want to enable WEP, however it will slow things down. You might want to call D-Link presales, and ask what throughput you can expect with WEP on, however they will probably quote the radio data rate (22mbps on thier airplus gear)

That setup will run you about $250, possibly less.

Really though, if possible, just run ethernet.
