Hub with wireless uplink or FreeBSD wireless adaptor?

Fellow SysAdmins:

I have free wireless access in my house, but no CAT5.  I have borrowed a 
Belkin USB-802.11b adaptor that work fine with XP.
But I want to get going with FreeBSD.  And the support for wireless 
adaptors is less than comprehensive.
An ideal solution may be a hub that can bridge its wired connections to 
its wireless uplink.
Given my understanding of wireless and ethernet technologies, this seems 
a bit weird.  (Are WEP keys tied to IPs?)
Has anyone experience with a situation like this, and can recommend 
either a good "wireless uplink hub" or, alternatively, a favored 
wireless adaptor that I could use with a FreeBSD desktop?

TIA,
-danny
