wireless router to wireless router, wirelessly, possible?

Hello all,

Have an old computer with ethernet and would like to find a cheap
wireless solution to get it to my wireless LAN. PCI,USB, et. al.
adapters are not possible. I intend to use the ethernet card in the
box now
and hook into something wireless to get me connected to the WLAN.

Before buying I am trying to figure out if I can use a wireless router
to talk to another wireless router? They are much cheaper than a
wireless
ethernet bridge and offer more utility as well.

Has anyone done this? Some sort of ad-hoc type connection between
Wireless routers? Or am I stuck buying a wireless bridge/router
or an wireless ethernet bridge?

This si one possible way of connecting two routers and both routers are
wireless. I followed that procedure to connect my wireless Linksys router
to my Ethernet WatchGuard FW appliance so that I could still have wireless
and the wireless router with its Ethernet LAN ports became a wire/wireless
AP switch could use the switch and machines wired or wireless on both
devices could access the Internet and share resources between machines.

There are a fews options with the WRT54G Linksys product using 3rd
party
firmware such as Sveasoft. I use a WRT54g and a WAP54g for the same
purpose.
The WAP54g is in AP client mode....works well.
