Wireless with wired network

I recently acquired a new laptop and I’m interested in adding to my three PC home network. The only thing is I want it to be wireless, so I can take it anywhere in my house. What do I need to do, short of converting my entire home network wireless to be to add this to the network?

Laptop Sony VAIO GRZ630

The network is a simple 10/100-hub setup with three computers, one being used for Internet access.

Regards,
Zotz Mein

simple add a WAP to the switch, then point the wireless card to the WAP.. you don't have to have a WAP/router combo deal if you've already got a PC sharing the internet.

Something like This would work just fine

The wireless access point (WAP) has one ethernet connection you connect to the switch.
