God, that's gotta hurt!  :-)

It is a LinkSys (speak of the devil), ethernet bridge model number
WET11.  I picked it up at Best Buy for about $70 or $80.  I have never
even messed with the configuration of the think.  I also have the
Router/Access point and the aforementioned WPC11v4.  Apparently, you
could hook the thing into a hub as well as to a computer, but I have
not tried that, yet.

My brother picked up the g version of the access point/laptop card and
was having some issues with it, but I have not had any problems other
than the driver problems (which motivated the bridge).
