If you have a wireless Network available you don't need anything.
If you only have a wired network, you will need the original Nintendo adapter.
There is no USB cable that will work the way you asked.

you would need a special lan adapter to fit the back of the wii and have it connected through a router. The best choice would be to get a wireless router and using the options on the wii you could connect wirelessly. Just make sure the router has a setting of 01 or 11. Contact Nintendo if you have problems doing this and they will walk you through. Their customer service is the best of the three console makers.

If you have a working wireless router you don't need an adaptor.
