What you're looking for sounds like a ethernet/wifi bridge. A bridge
basically performs as a wired ethernet extender. As Nava said, this is
called a wireless bridge or in WRT terminology, client bridge mode. Most
WiFi routers will support this, and as Robin mentioned, we're using this
cheapo 2500 yen WiFi router, putting it in bridge mode, and using it on the
nGeigies for our sensor network.
