does it have a standard ethernet port? Your other option is a wireless bridge - then cable to that.

I have one of these: http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/?categoryid=242&model=TL-WA701ND

It connects to your wifi network then whatever you plug in to the cable gets network.

Many older TVs will only work with the specific brand adapter - they do this so you're forced to buy it from them at an inflated price. While you could try another generic adapter, there is no guarantee it will work.

As mentioned above a bridge may be the best option.
