Wireless adapter for a Mac - help!

I've just upgraded to BY Total Broadband and now have the Home Hub, but I couldn't set up the wireless because apparently my Mac G5 does not have wireless capabilities built in.
I've been looking for a good value wireless adpater but I can't seem to find any that would work for Mac OS-X. They all say Windows XP/2000 and refer to PCs. I even went on to the Apple website, and all I could find was an adapter for PCs only!
Can anyone help me?

I'm assuming you have a G5 PowerMac or a pre May '05 iMac as they're the only ones without Airport.
The simplest option is to buy an Airport Extreme card - £32 from Amazon.
They're unbelievably easy to fit.
Make sure the machine is turned off.
On a PM just flick the side lock on the back, pull the side off (the right as you look at the cheesegrater grille
), take off the air flow deflector. It fits into a slot on the left at the front, and plug in the antenna. Put everything back on, restart and set it up. Took about 5 minutes on mine.
The guide for an iMac is here.
If you bought it after May '05 it should have Airport - have a look under System Profiler.0
