Can you plug in a normal USB to Lan dongle into Wii instead of buying offical Wii Lan plug?

Q: another words would something like this work? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=167133302 yea ibut i would rather connect with wire, than buying wireless.

A: Almost all USB to RJ45 Ethernet Adapters (such as the one you posted) are incompatible with the Wii, they require drivers that Wii does not have. This is the only known working RJ45 Ethernet Adapter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812203024 But at 19.99, you might as well get a LAN adapter made specifically for the Wii. Some third party brands are as low as 15.99.
