Default Do you need wireless router?

What do you need to use WiFi on the iPhone?
Do you need a wireless router, or will a USB / PCI wireless adapter be sufficient?
Thanks.

You can use a card. Make sure it is setup to share the internet connection.
You will also need to enable DHCP so the card will issue the iPhone an IP.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Would you know if it's possible for this particular adapter: Netgear WG111 (http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_3...s_Wireless_USB)?

The internet comes through an ADSL wired modem/router with ethernet, if it matters.
