[Techtalk] Wireless Help

I'm looking for general information.  We have a dual-boot clamshell
iBook (OS X and Yellow Dog 3).  We have a hard wired home LAN.  We'd
like wireless access into the LAN so we can wander about the house with
the iBook, surfing the web and accessing network shares and etc.  We
already have a 8 port Linksys DSL router.  We don't *need* a full
wireless DSL router, just access for one computer.

What equipment do we need?  Is there something that will just plug into
one of our router ports and allow a wireless card in the iBook to talk
to the network?  Googling is useless because I don't know what I'm
looking for!

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Beth
