I have a Mac Mini G4 for development purposes that I finally want to bring to the wireless age. Internal cards for it cost a fortune here, where USB WLAN adapters are available anywhere for 20-30 Euros. Which USB WLAN adapters work with Mac OS X? I would need to run 10.4 and 10.5, if possible even 10.3 (but can do without). If any of these is known to be compatible, even better:

I believe USB devices using the Ralink chipset have drivers available. eBay also has a few available which have drivers. And D-Link make one. To be honest, I have had no joy with USB adaptors on OS X. At best they are flaky and most cannot deal with protected networks well, if at all.
