OK, so I decided to get out my old Mac OS X DP2 CD and install it on my trusty 'ol iBook Clamshell (Blue) PowerPC G3.
Well, the install worked and I booted up and setup my new OSX install, and it doesn't have the driver for my wireless card! P.S. If you give me the driver I can't get it to that computer because its USB port is busted . BUT the ethernet port works . And it dosen't have a internet browser . Please Help.

Written on my MacBook with OSX 10.5.2 (Yeah, 10.6 is crap!)

I've had my MacBook for like 3-4 years and iBook PowerPC G3 1-2 years so I am a total geek.

You probably won't find any drivers for prerelease versions of the operating system, especially if the wireless card was introduced after the final version of Mac OS X 10.0 came out.

There's no reason to run any release of OS X lower than 10.2 on any OS X compatible Mac, Ihn555.

It ought to handle up to 10.3.9 and XpostFacto might take it further.
