Deciding on a consumer grade 802.11G wireless bridge?

Hi,

I'm in the market for one of these and wondering whether there are any
significant differences?

my router is a linksys WRT54GS.  I would like to connect the bridge to
at least one if not more devices on my entertainment center.  Can I buy
a single port bridge and then expand it with a hub at a later date, or
do I need to by an AP/bridge if I want to add more than one device?

Thanks,

Somthing like the linksys wet54g ought to work, it appears it can
handle multiple
mac addresses so you ought to be able to plug it into a switch or hub
and add
multi connections
