You'd want a wireless ethernet bridge.

Gives wireless ability to something with an ethernet port (by bridging the ethernet part of the network with the wireless part... something like that anyway).

However, from a quick look at Amazon, they don't seem much cheaper than the official MS 360 wireless adapter.

Also more complicated to set-up than the official adapter (which is actually a bridge itself, just a 360 specific one that connects via USB & integrates with the Dashboard) [a non-official bridge requires hooking up to a PC first to configure]

I think an access point (kind of... a wireless hub I suppose?) can be used, although I'm not sure of the ins & outs.
