I like Linksys for the AP (good features and easy to set up). Fot the nic, Orinoco is the best. They have very good range compared to others.

as i have recently done this, my personal recommendation
is linksys wap11 (you can get this for for $126.00 if you use a $30.00 off coupon.

the linksys wireless usb ver 2.5 adapter linky is also very nice, as you can vary its position to get optimal signal strength.

this combo will take all of 5 minutes to get up and running.
highly recommended.

pretty darn cheap (but i can't vouch that this is absolute rock bottom on price)
