Hi, I have some old computers I need to use with Chrome OS.
Downloaded and installed the OS from here: http://chromeos.hexxeh.net
Is there any easy way to activate the WiFi, by downloading a driver or something?
Im not very good with linux-based systems /;

You'll need to have the driver built with the kernel.

Contact the distributor of the image and ask for him to build the image with the wireless driver for your machine.

Otherwise you'll have to build your own chromiumos image.
