Great to know
 

The problem with Nvidia based apple notebooks is that they don't support
sleep currently(last time I checked), so stay away from them if you want
proper sleep.

Even better
 

Also, with current kernels(2.6.15) you can get the airport extreme to
work, but it is kinda hard and not for the faint of heart.


Can you point to a How to? I am desperate to get this to work because if I can depend on it working I can have my work buy me a new iBook and I can load Breezy on it - the best of all worlds. Also I remember with my powerbook and hoary there were issues with the mouse because it used a USB mouse which wasn't supported. I guess that's solved?

TIA,
JJ
