I guess your best bet will be a USB wireless adaptor for the desktop and
PCMCIA card for the laptop.  Should be about 100 quid or so all-in, as
long as you're not after WEP or anything particularly branded and know
where to shop.  I got my Apple Airport base station for UKP100 and an
Orinoco PCMCIA card for UKP35.

Good, because 802.11b only goes up to 11mbit (and good luck getting it
to achieve that).  :-)
