I have a Medialink adapter that I bought from Amazon for $30:

http://www.amazon.com/Medialink-Wireless-Adapter-802-11g-Compatible/dp/B001DKBNMA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&m=A1DCPNQKKEISZB&s=generic&qid=1266723377&sr=1-5

It just works.  I now have my laptop's built in wireless working, so I don't 
need it any more.  If you'd like it, send me an email off-list.
