I am looking to get an adsl modem router preferable wireles as well. So many to choose from! But a want the option of getting a USB dongle that will work on a mac laptop as well as a pc! there dont seem to be many drivers out the for mac dongles. Anyone got one that works? preferably still on the market today :)

I don't have this, but I did see it at the MacWorld Expo... it seems good and it has drivers for both Mac OS X (and 9) and Windows.

I haven't used either, but from what I've read, USB to ethernet is less than impressive on any platform.
I agree. In my experience USB -> wireless can be somewhat flakey. Apart from anything else you end up with a tiny little aerial hidden directly behind the CPU part of a desktop computer - can't be good for reception.
As an option try a Ethernet -> Wireless Bridge. They are platform independant (no drivers to load) but do require AC power.
Try something like this.

(Don't worry about the "Game Adapter" tag, that is just marketing.
