The Broadcom driver installation just needs your confirmation and wireless works out of box. The only thing that does not work right now is hibernate (@see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/25896). A nice use for an old machine. It was damn impossible to find new applications for Mac OS x 10.3 without upgrade and I personally feel apple's lock-in is too much. I am happy with Linux.

Right after the installation the airport card didn't work, but as soon as I plugged in an ethernet cable the automatic updating system found a driver, downloaded and installed it and within seconds I could connect to my home wifi lan. The only problem I have with this configuration is that the ubuntu splash is effed up in the colors... I guess that could be solved!
