WiFi possible on the iMac G4?

Hello - I have a first generation iMac G4 Flat panel (Feb 2002 - before they went widescreen). Hi speed internet hookup is traditional wire in back. Currently running Mac OS X (10.4.11) on it.

Is Wifi possible with this unit? Can something be added to the unit to allow WiFi? Or do I need a wire at all times?

iMac G4 (Flat Panel), Mac OS X (10.4.11), Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-115D

I'm using one of these with my old G4 iMac running Tiger.

I caught it when it was on sale for $19 a while back. It does work with Macs running Tiger, but it may not give you the fastest connection since it'll be going through your USB 1 port and it requires some driver software to be running in the background. But it is an option.
