Why waste USB port (and all the driver problems that accompany some USB devices)?
I'd get a wireless adapter that uses Ethernet to connect to the Mac.

A quick google doesn't find such a device. Does it exist?

Well the AirPort Express is such an adapter. It's certainly not the most compact solution (and it requires extra power), but it gets the job done.

I've seen those but can't remember where. What names have impressed you? That will help me search them out.

It's worth mentioning that a number of G3 and G4 Macs only have USB 1.1, which is ungodly slow for wireless. An ethernet-to-wifi bridge (like the Airport Extreme, although I imagine there are cheaper alternatives) would be a better route.
