Slightly OT - Wireless

Ok, I'm sick of dragging my long cat 5 cable around the house
when working on my Sony and I'm ready to jump into wireless.

Any recommendations?  (Hint must work with Linux - DUH!)

Somepeople tell me 802.11g is the way to go because its faster, 
others say 802.11b is enough.  

I also want working security, encryption that works for 

I need some wall penetration capability because of the way my 
location is arranged, and some say the 802.11g products are actually 
worse at this than the 11b due to the frequency in use.  

I'd also like a BRIDGING access point as opposed to a ROUTER because 
(as I understand it) a bridging ap puts the wireless segments in the 
same subnet as the wired lan, (which means windows peer-to-peer stuff 
works) where as a router sets a different subnet for the wireless 
stations (and MS SMB packets don't traverse lan segments).  Or am I 
all wet on this point???
