If you want the firmware I can attach it to an email directly to you.
Then you could insert the firmware in the /lib/firmware directory just
like in the link I posted in the previous email.  I think you need the
b43 legacy firmware and i can send it and b43 firmware.. Or you could
load them on a different box with synaptic more them to the powerpc
box and put them in you /lib/firmware directory.. Reboot and put in
your passphrase for your wifi and rock-and-roll.

Even better news here right now;

I am in the process of making an install from a live USB on mu
PowerBook G4 using todays PowerPc Desktop iso..

I finally got decent graphic after getting the USB started took me a
long time, but it looks good.

used ..  boot usb0/@1:2,\\yaboot

at the yaboot boot:  live video=radeonfb:1024x768-32@60

I bet I will need at boot:  Linux video=radeonfb:1024x768-32@60
to get the install to run clean we will see in about 10 minutes ,, the
install is removing files now

Notice the live and Linux starts from the kernel line commands.. That
had me for awhile.

My graphics are as good as precise 12.04 which i install from time to
time still. It works like
a charm..  If the install works I will send a fresh new email  powerpc
12.10 SUCCESS
