hey im trying to install gentoo 2005.0 on an iBook G3 Clamshell that has an airport card installed and ethernet, now i cant seem to pull an ip from the dhcp server on the network, ive tested the cables and i think its safe to assume for the moment that the ethernet is non functional is there a way i can install just using the airport card, oh and im using the "Gentoo Linux - Gentoo PPC64 (Apple G5) Minimal Installer" gotten from http://linuxiso.org, help would be greatly appericated! :) thanks in advance

The G3 is a 32 bit processor, not a 64 bit processor. Use the regular 32 bit LiveCD instead.

Good luck!

Probably, because the drivers included with each LiveCD are different.
