Stephen, What model/brand of wireless router will you be connecting to? I'll suggest another option: A wireless bridge which goes from 802.11 to 10/100 base-T. It will give you ethernet into the iMac's existing RJ-45 ethernet jack.
Along similar lines, there are wireless routers in the $40.00 range which support bridging. You configure it to recognize the existing wireless network and you can plug into the RJ 45 LAN jacks. You get the wifi range of the router and the ability to connect multiple ethernet devices. The USB-802.11 wifi adapters I've tried are short on the antenna power and are more limited in range.
