I recently purchased a US Robotics ADSL2 Wireless starter kit and it works fine with the Windows PC's in the house, I want to connect my Dad's Powermac G3 (running OS 9.1, can't use OSX on it) to it though, I think that 802.11g is a standard thing, so can I just buy a USB reciever with some Mac drivers (couldn't find one on the internet) or is there some other way to get it working?
Preferably spending as little money as possible.
Thanks for any help.

Use Wireless-G to Ethernet Bridge instead

I have found it hard to find USB to Wireless devices that support OS 9. I have used the Linksys Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge WET54G on my mom's computer and that worked. It will just use the built in Ethernet port. OS 10.x Drivers are easier to find for USB adapters. Good Luck
