This kind of reminds me of a question I had ...

I have some ethernet peripherals (printer, MP3 player), but since I
moved to using an entirely wireless network at home, I now can't use
them very easily.  However I do have a couple of old wireless APs.
One is a Netgear ME 102.  The other is a Linksys WRT 54G (running
Linux).  Any tips on whether it's possible to get these to act as WiFi
clients, plugging the peripherals into the ethernet ports?

Rich.
