Hello, you can buy one airport card in Ebay, I bought one and works great,
you need follow the next tutto.
http://nuevaeracr.blogspot.com/2009/02/actualizar-el-driver-orino-de-las.html
Also the wiki of Debian:
http://wiki.debian.org/orinoco
Also in Ebay sell a USB airport Adapter, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux compatible,
have one Realtek Chipset, in the home page of Realtek have the source
drivers (the CD have binary i386 drivers).
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Wireless-WiFi-for-Apple-Mac-iMac-G4-OS-X-10-3-10-4_W0QQitemZ120401973658QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item120401973658&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50
First ask the chipset and check in realtek the compatibility, because one of
the chips dont work with mac os x 10.3 or later, but in linux works all.
Next you can use WiCD for networking administration:

Also can use add the backports and install wicd.

la pobreza mientras los pocos negocios
grandes de nuestro medio se entreguen a las
economías foráneas y nosotros nos
quedemos con solo negocios de pobre,

propio país nos convirtamos en un ejército de
