    Marx Computers have one Wireless USB 2 adapter,
    supports IEEE802.11b/802.11g, 54Mbps for 29 eurons.

    Komplett have a Netgear USB 2 Wireless adapter, 54 Mbps for 27 eurons.

    One I found on eBay, probably cheapest. About 8 euro minus shipping.

    might stick with ebay, short on cash :(
    could also get pci actually.

    The higher speeds are for LAN not DSL....if you transfer a lot of files within your own LAN, then the difference between 54 and 108 is very beneficial, but if all you want it for is wireless internet and streaming music/video across your LAN then the 54mbps is fine. 108 may offer a little better range or a higher minimum speed at the maximum range...so that depends on your house (or where ever you intend to use it)

    Word of advice; AVOID the belkin USB adaptor...I've had nothing but problems with mine....there's a reason it's so cheap. That netgear looks like good value although look at some online reviews of it first. I <3 my netgear router but that's not to say that the USB adaptor isn't a POS.
