Can anybody recommend a usb wireless card that has decent ppc drivers?
I have wasted some time discovering that ralink cards do not fall into
this category. WPA2 and 11b/g support a prereq.

My (ralink) rt73 USB dongle works just fine with WPA, and while I use it
on a x86 machine, it's compiled from source (using the rt2x00 driver
recently included in 2.6.24) so it should hopefully work just fine
under PPC.

Bad call, unfortunately. I already have one of those and the drivers do
not work under ppc yet.
