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.

Actually that won't be necessary, since wireless-tools is on the  
Dapper install CD.
