Go Wireless with an old Cable Modem

Hi Folks,

I currently have a Motorola Cable Modem like the one pictured here

formatting link
it only has one ethernet port on the rear. I would like to go wireless for my laptop but keep a physical ethernet port for my desktop. I am a little confused by all the options.

1.Is one option to add a Wireless AP to the existing modem, but the WAP must have an ethernet port.

2.Replace the motorola with a wireless cable modem, but if I did this how do you setup a cable modem? The engineer did it last time and will it have an ethernet port?

Please help I'm confused.
