Another option is a wireless router; such as Apple's Airport. Worth getting now if they think they would use it. Netgear, D-Link, Linksys also sell such things, cheaper than Airport.
I doubt that a router would have any mac-specific problems. All the major network manufacturers make them. I'd normally recommend Linksys or Netgear, the Linksys BEFSR41 looks like the thing to get. Amazon have it for 50 dollars. I'd avoid Asante simply because I've not heard of them. D-Link are the third name in consumer networking, so getting that is fine.
