Wireless Adapter for Laptop

I was wondering if anyone knew of a reliable place to buy a wireless adapter for an Inspiron 6000 for not much money.  I want to be able to have wireless internet capability throughout my house.  I am hoping to find on for <$20.  Let me know if you have some information.  Thanks!

do you currently have a wireless router?  if not, make sure your cable modem supports an ethernet connection (some are USB only).  then buy a wireless router (20-50 for a normal one).  you'll then need a wireless card for your notebook -- places like bestbuy or compusa routinely have these for $20-$30 after rebate.

ideally look for products that support 802.11g and WPA2

what kind of internet connection do you have?

I have two Linksys WRT54G wireless routers that are flawless and support WPA encryption, and use them with my Inspiron 6000.  Great range.  Best Buy usually has them for around $39 with rebates.
