If you want to do it on the cheap and dont mind getting your hands a
little dirty then Id get down to a PC world pretty sharpish. There
selling sitecom card for approx 50 quid a pop. Great thing about these
is there prismII based so you can run a Linux box ( with a PCMCIA
adaptor ) as an AP [1]. Another couple of cards for your clients and
you'll have a wireless network for under the price of a stand alone
access point.
Sorry to sound like a saleman.

( who has this set up at home but with orinoco cards as clients )
PS Sitecom card should work fine in an Ipaq running Linux, not sure
about that CE thing though.
