Probably not a direct answer to your question,
but I have been very happy with a LinkSys WRT54GL ,
running under dd-wrt (Linux).
This has an ethernet connection,
and also works as an ethernet hub.
It struck me as remarkably cheap for what you get.
I do also have a USB WiFi device,
but this has been quite difficult to configure.
(There was not an appropriate module in the kernel.)
I also have a PCI WiFi card, which was easy to configure;
but the WRT54GL works better, at least in my experience.
