Networking::Wireless::Wireless Bridge


Don't run cables.
Instead, use a wireless bridge to connect an ethernet device to the wireless LAN or to connect two wired segments together.
One example is: Linksys WET54G
List price: $264
Checked on Amazon and found some $129 (new.)

This thing doesn't require drivers/etc since it's just an ethernet switch you connect your NIC card to.

Or maybe you want to switch to VOIP for home phone service. Your telco termination point is problably not near your LAN cabling (if you even have it) that goes to your cable or DSL internet service. Connect your VOIP adapter between a wireless bridge and the RJ11 jack that goes into your house (where you unplugged your wired telco.)
