Jim,

    Check out eCost
    www.ecost.com  They specalize in rebate and refurb offers.  I got a
Router/4 Port switch/802.11b for $14 after rebates a little while back. 
I just saw a USB 802.11b adapter for FREE after $30 in rebates.


    If you have B at home, you may want to look at some of the deals, i
saw a G setup, for about $80, that's a router/switch/AP and a Cardbus
card on ecost a little while back, could be an upgrade in the works for
you.
