This is known as the "Mark Harrison" solution :-)

Not if you just tape them to the wall. They will degrade in UV and
fall apart.

What I do is run "white plastic trunking" down... I have some piccies, but they're big... if you want me to mail them to you, drop
me a note off-list.

Not really. Mine was done by me, Mrs. H, James Hoye, and Paul Wootton
of this list, with the planning done by Phil Harris.

I don't know about the Netgears... The 802.11b spec allows the mixing
of bridges and clients (done it with Cisco kit) but the Netgears may
be dumb.
