What is the best Usb Wifi dongle for a PowerPC Mac?

[Angelgreat]

Ok, so I was thinking of ways to connect a PPC iMac to Wifi. One of the things I thought was a usb wi fi dongle. It can plug into the USB port of a Mac and connect it to wifi. That would be cool to give a Slot Loader iMac G3 or a non-Airport equipped iBook/PowerBook acess to the Internet without using ethernet.

Anyways, what's some of the best usb wi fi dongle that can work on these PowerPC Macs and what operating systems can it run under.

I use the Edimax ew-7811un Nano. It works with OS X Tiger and later on any PPC Mac I’ve tried. (iBook Clamshell, G3 Snow, PowerBook G4 Titanium and my iMac G3 DV SE). Apparently they’ve introduced a “v2” version that doesn’t work with the Tiger driver, so you’ll probably want to go to eBay and find a V1 for sale. It works great though.

I just use one of the below units configured as a wireless bridge connected to the computers ethernet. Works on any mac with ethernet and avoids all messing around with drivers and wifi configurations. Got a quadra 700 sitting next to me right now connected to my home network via one of these.
