Making BT Broadband Wireless - HELP!

I have a 1mb BT connection at home, and I connect using a BT Voyager 205 modem/router (wired).
I currently have 2 XP laptops and plan to add a linux based desktop to the system.
I want to connect the 2 laptop's wirelessly and the desktop can be wired, although I've no objection to connecting it wireless, to enable all to access the internet without changing cables/rebooting and to create a home network.
My question is whats the cheapest/simplest way of setting this up? Do I need to buy a wireless router/modem or just a wireless router? I also need to buy one wireless pcmcia card for one laptop (the other already has one).
Thanks.
