Choose a WAP

Can anyone recommend an 802.11g capable wireless access point? (I'm currently using a PCI card for this purpose but am getting tired of driver doom.) The only wireless device it'd routinely serve is my iBook but visitors might be expected to bring their laptops occasioanlly.

Relatedly, can someone explain what level these devices operate on? I get the impression from manuals and googling that they are layer 2 devices and act like a repeater or bridge between a wired ethernet LAN and a wireless LAN, but could do with confirmation from someone more knowledgeable.

I was expecting to require another NIC and a crossover cable. I don't currently encrypt the wireless LAN anyway, but rather do almost everything via SSH (or VPN, except the darwin tunnel driver I was using was unstable, so I gave up on that).
