If you have a mini-tower with an open PCI slot, I would go with this:

It is likely much less trouble to set up and use than finding a compatible dongle that goes in a USB port. Many dongle makers do not supply the required Mac drivers, and G4 towers are limited to USB 1.1 ports on the logic board, making the USB solution limited to approximately wireless "b" speeds. the above card will be more cost effective compared to buying a USB dongle plus then buying a PCI USB2.0 adaptor card to achieve faster wireless speeds.
The older original one did, but I think there are no drivers for the new one for PPC or OSX less than 10.6...
