Maybe fedore 6 is more bleeding edge than ubuntu :)
My macs wireless is not supported in madwifi 0.93 and 0.94 is not released
and not in debian/ubuntu repositories, so building 0.94 seems to be my only
choice or wait for 0.94 to be released.
I hear reports of other mac's wireless just working. I think the chipset
changed aruond nov 2006 which might explain it as mine is feb 07. When did
you get your mac?

Is this mac specific do you think? I can run ubuntu on my thinkpad to a LCD
TV and the only conf I needed to do was add the higher resolution to
xorg.conf. I had to do this also on my macbook.
