    Okay, ignore all posts until now. How can I get drivers for my Powermac g5's wifi thingy without internet access?

      Finally, I'm making progress. I made like Mohammed and went to the mountain (moved the G5 to the router). I'm getting a connection, and tried to download the additional drivers, which I'm pretty sure it did, because when I opened up the little network thing at the bottom-right of the screen (it shows the wired and wireless connections) it said that there was a connection. I open up the "Additional Drivers" application, it loads for a few seconds, then closes. I look at the wireless thing again (the one at the bottom right hand of the screen) and it says the driver is something different (it used to be "gem"). Now, whenever I open the additional drivers app, it just crashes, and jockey opens up saying something about reporting a crash.

      Just to let you know, I downloaded the unity desktop (I wanted to try it) by using
      Code:
      sudo apt-get install unity
      and whenever i try to login using the "gnome" option, it just says it can't be loaded

        Note: The Networking interfaces menu on the toolbar (the "little network thing") now says at the "WLAN Interface" option:

        Type: Wireless 802.11
        Connection State: Unavailable
        IP Address: No IP address.
        Connection Speed: Unknown
        MAC Address: 00:0D:93:ED:86:3B
        Driver: b43
