You are on the right track, and here are a few other suggestions:

http://www.wlanparts.com/product/NL3054CB3PLUS ( same money but 200mw )

I have a 802.11b buffalo client bridge that I can sell to you for $20.  
Looks like:

http://www.buffalotech.com/products/product-detail.php?productid=116&categoryid=7

but is 802.11b

If you don't need the 802.11g speed, then you can find really cheap 
802.11b client bridges much like the dlink 900AP+ (make sure that its 
the (AP+) model ) -- something like:
