I'm using a 3Com Wireless XJack adapter. One of the settings available in the driver software is 'Attach to any WLAN Service Area Automatically', which basically autodetects the SSID. Now, if he's using WEP, no connection for you. But if not, and if he's using DHCP, you're in easy.
Do a search on ebay for 'xjack wireless'. Get the kind with the retractable antenna -- they're closing for around $70 or so. muy nice.
