Your wireless adapter seems to be experiencing this bug, which was never solved:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/951687

I recommend testing and installing Ubuntu 13.10 (powerpc version).

I hope it will work better.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Mike bell for more information if necessary.
