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
