Airport is what you need.

Can you tell us what model of Mac you are using?
Model number of the BT Hub?

Your original info doesn't really help in giving a full answer to your question.

Buy an Airport Express card (it should be compatible with your machine but as you haven't supplied any specs I can't say for certain). Alternatively you might be able to use a USB wireless dongle or a PCI card (if you've got a PowerMac/Mac Pro), however not all third party wireless adapters are compatible with OSX (and D-Link lie about their's working, as I found out!). The Linksys USB dongles should work however they don't supply a driver themselves, you have to download it from the chipset manufacturers. I've got one but haven't had a chance to try it out, have a search on macosx.com, there are some threads about it on there (and it's also a generally excellent support resource).
