Pocket-sized Ethernet-to-Wifi: Is there such a thing?

[nagromme]

Does anyone make a really tiny adapter that plugs into a computer's ethernet port and lets it access WiFi?

(I know they have little USB WiFi adapters--but those need drivers.)

I'm thinking that might be a great pocket solution to share data between my Air and family members' various old machines. With no driver worries. Plus I could slap it on someone else's wired router (or WiFi-less hotel port) and gain WiFi for myself when I visit!

I want cheap and small: preferably just a dongle with no cord. One ethernet port--or jack--is all I need.

Thanks for any leads! (I know I could just get the Air ethernet adapter, but I'd prefer wireless.)

I think the closest you're going to get to this is an Airport Express. They're $99 nowadays, I think.

Maybe so. I'm hoping someone makes something the size of those little USB WiFi dongles. (And cheaper: I don't need wireless printing or music.)

I know ethernet provides no power, so there would still need to be a power cord or USB tether.
