Hi, I am considering to install OpenSuse 10.2 on a Mac Mini G4. It has an Airport wireless connection to the internet. Does anyone have such a configuration with Airport Extreme working?
I still have to buy the board with the Airport express and bluetooth modules on for my Mini (I got the entry level one at a killer price - old stock), but from what I've read it happens to use the exact same version of the Broadcom chipset that my HP has, which works with the bcm43xx driver that ships with OpenSUSE 10.2. You have to extract the firmware, from the windows drivers, but that's trivial and the script is included (fwcutter or something like that). Weather or not the bcm43xx driver has equal support on PPC is another matter, you'll have to try. Another thing to keep in mind is that the bcm43xx website doesn't list this chip as supported in the latest stable release, so I guess SUSE used cvs or patched it themselves.
