Options for a wired connection to the internet for the Wii?

[darkcrawlspace]

I don't have a wireless router, but I read that you could still connect to the internet by using a USB 2.0 to Ethernet Lan Adapter. I was just wondering if this was the correct thing to buy, and if it would get the Wii online if I just hooked it up to a cable modem: http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/42000272/Images/1/usb-rj45.jpg

Any help on how to get the Wii online without wifi would be appreciated. Thanks.

I know that Nintendo is releasing something official to take care of this, though it's not due to be released for a while.

I don't know if your adapter will work.

EDIT: Here's Nintendo's product from the online store...
