Which Wireless g adapter for a new tivo?

I just bought the Humax model to add to my older series 2 and my Dlink DI624 gateway. I would like to link them wirelessly. I see the solutions on the board for g adapters. Is there a list of adapters to stay away from? I see the list on Tivo.com but I assume that it is far from complete. What is the most elegant g solution and/or most inexpensive (in case Tivo allows USB 2.0)

According to TiVo's own site, they don't currently support 802.11g points, only the slower b standard:

If you're really concerned about speed on moving large files, the only option right now is to run a wired ethernet connector that does 100Mbps.

Yeo, USB2.0 and 11g aren't due until later this year, i they are expected along with TiVoToGo. For now see http://www.tivo.com/adapters for the list of working adapters.

The problem is that Tivo does not have wireless drivers, so you can't use a Wireless G USB
adapter. I got around this by hooking up a Linksys wireless G Game Adapter to a Linksys Compact USB 2.0 adapter that was connected to my Tivo. It worked the first time.
