I was looking at USB wireless adapters and was hoping one of you have

opinions on which ones are better or Mac compatible. Are their
third-party
solutions for an Airport card? And, what options do I have besides an
Apple
base station? I realize the iMacs only have USB 1.1 and that will slow
their
connection but I don't care about that. I also wouldn't have a problem
with
a 802.11b solution.
Don't get a usb adapter. This is what I recommend:

Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge WET54G
Connect any Ethernet-equipped device to a high-speed Wireless-G Network
from the description:
The versatile Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge can make any wired
Ethernet-equipped device a part of your wireless network. At home, use
the Bridge to connect game consoles, set-top boxes, or computers to
your Wireless-G network and its shared high-speed Internet connection.
In the office, convert your Ethernet-wired printer, scanner, camera,
notebook or desktop into a wireless networked device.
It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform and under any
operating system!
I am using the 802.11b DLink version at home and having no problems at
all. I recommend using the linksys version only to simplify your
network configuration issues. I am also getting the full throughput
that comcast offers (6Mb/sec) with no problems over this setup.
HTH,
