Yes! It does. It is way much easier to look for a brand than for a
chipset. The iMac was nearly dead but it has revived now.
That's very nice. The dlink adaptor is supported natively in the vanilla
kernel.org kernels and the upstream developer is very responsive (Ivo
van Doorn and John Linville).
Regarding a brand, I got myself from the region of Santa Ifigênia, but
I guess that's not feasible for you, since you seem to live quite far
from here.
Thank you,
You're welcome.

Re: Wifi on a tray loading iMac, is it possible?
Sure it's possible. USB adapter is probably the only usable solution. I've been successful with old Macs using Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54L (0411:00da) and zd1211b, vendor-based community driver, svn version. http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/ The speed will be limited to 11 Mbit/s because of the USB 1.1 interface on those iMacs.
