Linksys has a thing (WGA54G) called a Gaming Router. It's basically a
small box with a Wireless Adapter Card and an Ethernet connection. It's
really a bridge/media-adaptor. I have a similar model by Buffalo that
has 4 Ethernet ports.
You can also flash a normal Linksys Router with the DD-WRT firmware.

Either way, Linux never sees Wireless.
