I would use a WLAN-router or bridge.
I recently bought a DSL-router with WLAN functionality and after a
little testing i realized that it also acts like a bridge. Any WLAN
device can reach any wired device on the switch where i connected the
WLAN-router.
No drivers, no hassle, just a wasted IP for reaching the web-interface
of the router. ;-)
Altough i don't know if it is a standard feature or not, it just worked
in my case. :-)
Pro:
- Easy to setup, use & change
Con:
- No direct control within the server

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
