All the USB solutions I know of require 10.2.8 or higher for their drivers to work.

Just get any wireless access point and hook it up via ethernet. Configure it from another computer if need be.

As long as it has Ethernet, it should "just work".

I'm with Spheric Harlot on this. OS 9 is considered too antiquated for most hardware developers to bother with - as in it's too much trouble with little potential return on their time investment.

Look for an inexpensive wireless access point or router that supports use as a "client" or "bridge." There are a bunch out there that should work. Sometimes there's a complication in whose base station you're using not wanting to work with your choice of router as a client, but such is life-keep looking. If you have the bucks, you could just go for a "gaming adapter," which is a dedicated WiFi bridge intended for older game systems that don't have built in/affordable WiFi solutions-these are precisely the "just works" solution you may want, but they aren't as inexpensive as they should be.

The techy solution is to find an older Linksys WRT54G (earlier than version 5, preferably a v3) and install DD-WRT on it. Here's an eBay auction for a v2 that would be just the ticket.

They still have wifi PCI cards, PCMCIA Cards that use wifi under OS9, and even some USB dongles, but USB1 may be on the slow side.
