How can I connect a wired switch to a wireless network ?

In my Den I have a wireless router. In my office I have 5 desktop computers that do not have wireless cards, and I don't want to put wireless cards in them. How can I connect a 8port wired switch to the wireless network? Is there a device to bridge the two?How can I connect a wired switch to a wireless network ?
If you plug the switch into the router (use one of the LAN ports) they will be connected!



You can also get a wireless bridge like the Linksys WET54G

Connect that bridge to the switch and all machines on the switch are then connected without having to run a cable to the den. A cable is the better solution but you can use a wireless bridge if necessary.
