Not saying it'll be cheap, but you could try these guys:
http://www.bizsyscon.com/

They sell all kinds of wireless networking gear (including complete WISP 
setups) on eBay under the id "rod40".  They're in the west St. Louis 
area, in Crestwood.

Of course, you might be just as well off getting a USB wifi adapter, so 
that you'll be able to hang the USB cable on the wall.  That's what 
I did with a system recently, where they wanted to use their neighbors' 
internet service.  The problem was the house that wanted the hookup is 
on a slab, and they're higher than the other house, so in order to 
get a line-of-sight (sort of, it was still through the walls) signal, 
I had to lift up the adapter almost to the ceiling...

Well, there's a couple options for you...

Good luck,
