Also, with current kernels(2.6.15) you can get the airport extreme to

YES! My dual-boot mini doesn't get much use out of breezy without a driver for AirPort.

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? 

The USB mouse works perfectly for me.
