No you can just buy an access point and use a straight-through (ie. NOT
crossover) cable to connect to the router and away you go.

Also, please do browse a little through the newsgroup before posting since I
believe this question has been answered numerous times before.

Hi
I have just done exactly this and used Belkin 54g access point and card.
connected up to my DLink router and after a quick config setup, away we
went.
