For the wireless - my plan was to use ethernet and just get a cheapo wireless router that I could put into bridged mode - probably cheaper, easier and nicer in the long run.

They used to, but maybe they ran out. I think what I'll do is look around to see if I know someone here that has a spare router I can turn into a bridge (as a "proper" bridge seems to be wicked expensive, from a quick glance at best buy's website).
Otherwise, wireless might end up being the way to go.

I saw a WRT54G at the goodwill the other day.  That + tomato or ddwrt firmware = bridged router.  should have the bonus of being able to use wpa2 which I am sure would be nothing but a headache on the amiga.
