I would like to know as well.  This would be for ARM, though, not
PowerPC.  It's tough finding reliable USB Wi-Fi adapters that work under
Linux these days.  It seems the development focus has shifted to
PCI-based chipsets, unfortunately.

I've had mixed success with the VIA VT6656.  These drivers are only at
"staging" quality within the mainline kernel, though.  There are
separate drivers that can be downloaded directly from the vendor, though.

Anybody else have a good suggestion?
