I've got a new lappy

I want to use it on a wireless network but don't have one setup at home.

I have my main rig, a media player and a D-link ADSL router all wired at the mo.

Can i get some wired/wireless device to adapt the D-link?

Just buy a cheap wireless access point. Or a really cheap ethernet router and link them up.

Maybe you can buy a cheap wireless pci card for you pc and put them into ad-hoc mode.

The only problem with that is it requires you to always have your PC on when you want to go on the internet with the laptop. It'd probably be the cheapest option though.
