As best I can see ,the MN 740 (the wireless adapter for the xbox) is out of  
stock everywhere that I've looked. Is there any other wireless hardware that  
can fulfill it's function? (Such as, well, any G-standard wireless access  
point? Such as the MN-710? I was looking at the Linksys, but they're  
absurdly expensive as compared to what I can find the microsoft hardware  
for.
 
I'm looking to get my XBox hooked up, but I'm just not that clear on what  
hardware will accomplish the job with the least amount of fuss and cost.  
Anyone with experience on the topic, I'd appreciate your feedback.

Mix some oil and water?

I saw one yesterday at a friend's house. It's a little all in one wonder  
(802.11g/b router/firewall/NAT/extender, music source, Print server).

Looks very handy, but a bit more money than I was looking to spend.  
Actually, I'm beginning to suspect I'll settle for the microsoft MN-700 that  
I found for 30 bucks, and just running about 35 ft. of Cat5 cables, for  
another 20 bucks.
 
Sigh. MK is finally forcing me to get a network up, so I can get Live.

Unfortunately, $90 isn't what I'd term' competitive', since I also have to  
go ahead and buy Live starter kit.
 
And MK, which is what I'm doing all this for.

It'll certainly be worth it with Halo 2 coming soon.

Stop being a cheap BASTARD... You can afford the XBOX and games, get a  
decent WiFi "G" Ethernet client or go get a better job. I use Buffalo  
Technologies and they work great and are cheap to so right up your ally.
