Wireless laptop

I'm trying to find out what I need to buy to make my laptop wireless
throughout the house.
Currently I have a Speedtouch 330 "modem" connected to my main pc upstairs.
This is networked via a CAT5 cable to a point in the living room downstairs
for my Toshiba Satellite laptop. This is a pain in the bum as the cable
keeps getting pulled out by the bloody dogs and I can't take the laptop into
the kitchen or garden.
The laptop has a wireless LAN built in. The manual says it's IEEE 802.11 and
has an automatic transmit rate select mechanism in the range of 11, 5.5, 2,
and 1Mbit/s.
Any advice along the lines of "You need THIS and THIS and they plug in HERE
and HERE" would be most appreciated. There's tons of stuff related to this
on ebay but I've not much idea what works with what and why.
Si
