Not what you want to hear, but:

When I was all excited about wireless 2 years ago and wanted to put my
under-desktop on a wireless network, I found it hard just like you did.
Eventually I bought a Linksys wireless-ethernet bridge.  That way
I connected to the wlan with my ethernet card.

The bridge was ridiculously expensive (cost more than the wireless
router) but otherwise I'd probably have bought at least one wlan card
which wouldn't work so it would've come to the same thing.
