Are there any USB based 802.11g solutions available for the MAC?

If so, who makes them? (Make/model?)

I'm kind of looking for an 802.11g version of this:

Thanks in advance.

My recommendation would be a LinkSys WET54G which is the G version of the popular LinkSys WET11 ethernet-to-wireless bridge. It is cross-platform, OS independent, always on and requires no drivers.

The WET11 and WET54G and similar solutions from DLink and Belkin are not USB based, but connect via ethernet. This is a major advantage as your hardware will not become obsolete when you upgrade your system software (which often happens with USB devices if the manufacturer does not offer upgraded drivers) and you should find these much more reliable than USB devices which tend to be flaky.

Thank you. I'll look into this. It looks like an interesting device.

I have two WET11's at home, one connected to an old iMac and the other two a Performa 6400. Both work flawlessly.

I looked into the WET54G today. IT was a bit pricey ... ($130+++)

I ended up getting the DLink 802.11b device mentioned above for $20.

I kind of wanted G, but nobody seems to have an inexpensive solution that also supports OSX. (I realize $20 is cheap ... but a $50 solution should be reasonable.)

Thanks anyway ...
