Thanks Scott and Eric. Eric, I understand that it's going to be a bit tricky but basically I wonder this:
If I hand compile the driver and install it, will I be able at this stage to associate with a WiFi Access Point and communicate while WPA or at the very least WEP encrypted? I'm all for geeking and tweaking to get to that point, but if I can do that it would be great


I haven't tried the PPC driver yet, but setting up a i386 machine (also a broadcom chip but ndiswrapper did the trick in that case) was fairly easy. See
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto>. You will probably need to download the wireless-tools package to a USB memory stick and install it before getting everything to work.
