You can make your own wireless bridge if you have an old linksys router or any other router that will support dd-wrt or openwrt sitting around.
Here is a dd-wrt tutorial: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3639271
I have used this successfully in the past..

Okay, I broke down and bought some M$ hardware.
Now I have a XBox 360 in my living room and want to hook it up to the
network.
The Wifi card from M$ costs between 80,- and 100,- which is quite steep
IMHO.
So the alternative would be a wireless bridge. Unfortunately these
devices also run around 100,-.
PowerLine Ethernet devices are a bit cheaper and some are faster but I
don't know if my router sits on the same circuit as the XBox.
So what to do ? Anyone has any (cheap) suggestions ?
