Connect Wirelessly to Wired Network?

Possible silly question alert! Here goes anyway...
 
I have a fully wired network with a wired Linksys router. Is there a way to connect my new laptop wirelessly? In other words, is there some wireless device I can connect to my wired network and have it communicate with my laptop? Or does the whole network have to be wireless from the ground up? Does this question make any sense? :smileyindifferent:
 
EDIT:  I have simple hubs on my network. What I was thinking about is something like a wireless router connected to one of the ports in the hub. Is that possible? Or would that not work along with the wired router already hooked directly to my modem? I just don't want to convert the whole network to wireless.
 
Thanks for your help. (And take it easy on a wireless newb, please!)
