or you could buy that lan adapter...

Any LAN adapter should work. I have a really cheap one that I originally bought for my TiVo and it works just fine... So, it should work.

Hey, I would suggest just getting a Wifi Max. I got it the other night over at Best Buy and it works great even if you dont have Windows XP. Not only that but I was online five minutes after getting it out of the box.

No offense but the provided adaptor doesn't work and a little advice wait until the Nintendo Adapter comes out because none of the other adapters will work. Nintendo Wii currently has its own drivers built into the system for only their items or we will be getting an update when the item comes out which could be the drivers.

well this would be neat minus one problem.

1.if you purchase the nintendo adapter you are looking at 50.00 for the adapter when for the same 50.00 you could purchase a wireless router no adapter needed
