I want to give it to someone else but it does not have any wireless

What is an expensive way to get this puppy online.
802.11 B or G should be fast enough to surf the interweb w/o any
substantial slowdowns, where they do lack is in transferring files
between computers. The B spec of the first gen G4 iMacs runs at up to
11MBs, the G spec of the USB 2 models runs up to 54MBs, and ethernet
(assuming you have a modern router or switch) runs at up to 100MBs.
The new 802.11 N spec is theoretically capable of 540MBs but to my
knowledge there is no way to graft this to a PPC Mac.
I prefer ethernet for desktops because of faster file transfers, better
security, and there is no interference from microwave ovens, cordless
phones, etc…
