Wireless ps2?

Right now, I have a linksys usb100tx which I can go online with my ps2. I bought a wireless router and a wireless network card. My question is can I buy a wireless USB adapter and plug it into the usb port on the ps2 and it work off of the wireless internet or or do I need to buy a bridge to get it to work? Thanks in advance

i've been looking to go wireless as well, but with the PS2, i've thought against it..

Can you explain how I can get the PS2 hooked up wirelessly? does the "bridge' just plug into the USB port on the PS2 or something?

yes that will work also.....
once you have a wireless network setup you connect the wet11 or this wireless game thingie to your computer, set it up with the right info and network names....then you use a cat 5 cable to connect the ethernet port on your ps2 adaptor to the ethernet port on the "bridge"...VIOLA !!
