It's true according to Nintendo's site, Nintendo themselves, the packaging, and people who have attempted to use it on 98/ME/2000.

However, there IS good news...You can pick up a similar non Nintendo adapter at an electronics store, or just get a farkin' router.

Nintendowifi.com has a lot of information. There should be a UK version on that page.

Routers aren't all that expensive for a basic model. You can find a bunch of them for the price of the adapter. You can also use a Wireless adapter by another company which can be used, but if the setup for a router is too complex (They're pretty easy, IMO), you might be fucked...

Well the first one is a memory stick, so that wouldn't be very helpful for setting up a wireless connection.

I haven't got wireless broadband and it works for me fine. In fact I use the very cable and wireless USB adapter that you linked to there.
