MacBookBolic (how I tried to customize Dynebolic 2.5 to my MacBook

I wish to make a special version of Dyne:Bolic for MacBook with special hardware automatically working. For that, I need to add drivers for :

MacBook keyboard
NdisWrapper or Madwifi enabled wifi
ISight webcam...
915resolution : Intel driver to get the 1200 * 800 resolution

At first, it will be a how to and then a module and maybe later a live CD.

The story of the experiment

WIFI :

First, you need to get the latest ndiswrapper source and compile it. You will get it here.

open a Terminal, make a little

sudo su
tar xvzf ndiswrapper-1.48.tar.gz
cd ndiswrapper-1.48
make clean
make
make install

You have the latest ndiswrapper installed, cool up...

Then just follow this [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_install_ndiswrapper_for_the_ThinkPad_11a/b/g/n_Wireless_LAN_Mini_Express_Adapter page ]where you can find the right instructions

Just add the command :

ifconfig wlan0 up

after the command modprobe ndiswrapper.

then you can configure your wifi configuration in the dyne module.
