you need a wireless sensor bar or a homemade one. i think you would want a bluetooth 2.0 + edr and with manufacturer support of x64 drivers if you run a x64 os. some have recommended bluetooth that come with a bluesoil (something like that) software.

There are official wireless Sensor bars from Nintendo. I got mine for about 9€ from my local store.

You can use any sensor bar, even wireless ones, or even two candles (as the flames emit infrared light). A sensor bar is just a bunch of IR leds 30cm away from each other. It doesn't transmit any sort of data whatsoever. It just enables the wiimote to triangulate it's relative position from the infrared light source.
As for a bluetooth dongle, you can go to dealextreme.com and buy one for 2 bucks.
