Was about to say that it'd probably be cheaper, and easier, to get a 4-port-ethernet wireless router, rather than a 4-port-ethernet non-wireless router AND a wireless access point...

I'm using the Netgear DG834G v2 at home, and my desktop (cat-5 cabled) machine and laptop (Intel Centrino Dell Latitude D800 - wireless connection from anywhere in the house) work fine together. The desktop machine has a static-assigned IP address from my block of 8, the router assigns the laptop one of the remaining 4 available via DHCP......not had a problem yet (although setting up wireless-connectivity in debian was "interesting" ).
