you would need an ethernet kit. the official ones havent been released yet and i dont know if non branded ones work, yet.

You can get the Nintendo usb port thingy that plugs into the back of your computer. It basically creates a wireless connection for your Wii.

That costs about $40.

Or, you can spend that same $40 on a cheap wireless router, like the one I got from Netgear.

I think what you need is an "Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector", it costs around 30 bucks or so... it also works with the Nintendo DS
