PCI is one of the sticking points regarding WiFi support. However, bridge adaptors do work 
and are configured via a web browser, so you could get a "G" wireless bridge adaptor that 
hooks up local to your desktop with a ethernet cable into the unit. You could also get an 
adaptor for your printer that you could share via one of the adaptor's extra ports which 
some have, to keep you from having to have the desktop 'on' 24/x7 to provide printer 
support.
