It depends what hardware you have already really.
What I would personally do is get a Wireless Router/Switch and use a 10/100 connection to a PCI Network card in the desktop, and then just get a single wireless PCMCIA card for the laptop.

D-Link Wireless Card
D-Link Router
£93 for the pair.
Then add a PCI NIC £10 MAX, and a Cat 5 cable from the router to your PC (couple of quid)
Job done.
