Wi-Fi and ADSL in the UK

Hi,

The new abode won't have cable outside (even though it's close to the centre of the UK's largest city and the old abode.....wasn't...) so BahrainLad will be resorting to one of the UK's renowned ADSL providers.

Problem is, at the previous abode I had a very nice wireless set-up....cable modem plugged into router using an RJ-45 patch cable, wireless access point plugged into router. Free RJ-45 sockets in case mates/brother/mother wanted to come over and plug in.

Now, I gather that most (if not all) ADSL providers provide you with a USB modem, and advise you to use Internet connection Sharing....not much good if all you've got is a Powerbook. I see Wanadoo have a 'wireless' solution....is this any good, or just 'mickey mouse'?

Basically I need an ADSL modem that will plug into a router using RJ-45 ethernet....do they exist?

Cheers in advance.....BL
