After a lot of fiddling with cardbus and USB wireless adapters, I have

perhaps in another frazzled thread, the D-Link Wireless Pocket
Router/AP DWL-G730AP does the job.

I second the nomination. I have two of these. Although mostly I use mine
as as AP in places where there is only an Ethernet connection.
BTW, this device has three (mechanically switched) modes: Wifi Access
Point, Bridged Ethernet<->Wifi Adapter, and Router/Firewall. It's very
small (pack of playing cards), comes in a nice shaving kit bag with
small PS, Power-over-USB cable, and flat Ethernet cable (roughly 4.5 ft.).
This sounds like an excellent approach. I've been unable to find one so
far. I did find a USB wireless AP (Linksys Wireless G). Like the other USB
approaches, it scans the locat routers just fine, but doesn't connect.
