I just got an Xbox (not 360, and not for gaming, as a CD/mp3 player
replacement). Wiring ethernet into my bedroom (where it will go) would be
quite difficult, so it'll probably have to be wireless. Since it has no PCI
(or other internal) slots and no USB, this means an external ethernet <->
wifi adapter. Should I decide one day to build a real machine to take its
place, I'll probably use that adapter. So full compatibility is a plus.
So, can anyone recommend (or de-recommend) a manufacturer or style of
adapter? I've found one kind not to get -- the Logitech "Play Link"

It's not 802.11anything (separate, proprietary sender and receiver), and is
around 1/8 the speed of 802.11_b_. Totally ungood if transfer rate is at
all important to you.
