I was trying a TRENDnet TEW-229UB 802.11b wireless LAN USB adapter on a
newer Mac and couldn't get it recognized. I've tried WLan, as well as
some Zyadas chipset Mac drivers with no luck. It just seems invisible
when its plugged in.

Nod.
Find an Ethernet-connected one instead.

I heard the Linksys 54 series wireless router for Linux could be used as
a client (receiving mode I think). So you're using the wireless router
for receiving instead of transmitting. Do many people do that? Other
than cost, would there be disadvantages to doing that?

Michael-
My old Beige G3 MiniTower couldn't use a wireless PCI card because of
some kind of conflict with the video circuits. I found a Belkin USB
802.11b adapter that had OS 9 and X drivers on the Belkin web site,
although it was a bit tricky to get working.
I've tried several other wireless devices with the Beige G3. Most that
worked as a client did not work with an AppleTalk printer. I had
success using a Buffalo and/or an AirPort 802.11g wireless router in WDS
(Wireless Distribution System) mode.
The best I've found is the new AirPort Express Type N configured as a
client. The only drawback is that you have to use AirPort Utility.app
to change to another network, and that may not run on the old G3 Mac!

Got a Buffalo wireless ethernet adapter, it seems to work fine for
browsing and printing on an old g3 iMac using an Airport Extreme
base station.

Perhaps a recent change. Mine definitely has an external antenna
port, but I don't think it's the N version, just 802.11g, bought
about two years ago.

What does the port look like?
