I was recently given an old iMac G3 233mhz, 96 meg RAM, 4 gig HD. I installed Yellow Dog PPC 2.3 kernel 2.4 successfully, now I'm looking to put Yellow Dog 4.1 or 5.0 on it. Before I wiped the drive for YDL, I noticed that in Mac OS 9.2 the ethernet adapter wasn't working. Sure enough, YDL also couldn't get it to work. It recognized the port, but couldn't see my router (Linksys which works just fine).

So I'm looking for a USB ethernet adapter, wired or wireless. What adapter have people used successfully and easily with Linux on PPC? I'm a Linux newbie but not a computer newbie.

I was just looking into exactly this question a few days ago for a system I'm building for a friend, and I ran into this......
