Hi Derick, I have been through this a couple of times. My off the cuff advice is: 1)Get an Airport card 2)boil a pot of water 3)put in a rock and the D-Link 4)in 20 minutes throw the D-Link into the lawn 5)enjoy your soup :)
But seriously, there is some pain involved. Before going into things too much, note that Ubuntu PPC supports your dongle from the single CD install. Also I have the device working under Mandrake's newest PPC release, but required much hacking. And OpenBSD can be INSTALLED over the net through the D-Link, which is awesome. But let's trudge on. I covered the steps I used in my blog: http://www.pycs.net/users/0000337/2004/12/4/ I wrote the bash commands from memory, and there seems to be some pseudocode in it, but it should help. Also I had to use a static IP, since ISC dhcpd that comes with YDL is too old to know how to talk to wlan0. It was very easy for me to compile and install it from source right from ISC. Then you can just dhclient wlan0 and get your DNS, gateway, etcetera from your access point. Hopefully this will help, I feel your pain. BTW running a new linux-wlan-ng driver has been MUCH more stable for me than the OS X driver.
