[Lilux-help] Wireless set-up

Hi. I have a Coditel cable connection to a Coditel cable modem. (With reference to recent discussions about various ADSL deals available in Luxembourg, I am happy to vouch for the cable service offered by Coditel if it's available in your area - recently they doubled the connection speed at no extra cost.) At the moment my computer is plugged into the cable modem via RJ45. I am moving house soon and would like to have the computer upstairs in the new place. The cable, however, comes into the downstairs front room. I would like to canvas the group's opinion on the most appropriate hardware to set up a wireless connection under Linux, including recommendations on hardware and where to buy it. My machine is a Dell Dimension 4600 with a Pentium IV, running Debian GNU/Linux (sarge, mostly). There's only one machine at home at the moment, but I want to get a lap-top in the next six months or so. Additionally, although I am reasonably competent, I am not a tech pro, and I have a limited budget, so no Grand Unifying Solutions please!
