There are a selection of devices that plug into ethernet ports, and provide wireless access as a client of a wireless network. Some of these devices can be powered of USB which is probably most convenient given you have a free USB port situated near it. The point being the TV needs a driver for whatever is plugged in to the USB, but ethernet bridged into a wireless network is transparent to the TV. Something like a Gemtek T316, but no one is selling them on Ebay. Some of the newer devices like this have too much omph. Many support speeds over 100Mbps, which sounds great till you realise that is why they cost so much, use so much power, no longer run of USB power, and you only have a couple of megabits to the Internet where the content is. Belkin F5D7330 looks suitable, but the pricing isn't good. You might be better off finding out if there is a compatible USB gaming adaptor. Alternatively just run a bit of ethernet cable to the ethernet port - you'll get a reliable 100Mbps, and it doesn't require any additional power, and has minimal compatibility issues. Come on your walls can't be that tough can they? On the USB front the Netgear WNDA3100 is suppose to work with Panasonic TVs. But again unless you can borrow one to try, it might be cheaper just to pay Panasonic the cash.
