A lot of vendor lock in on the ol' MacBook Pro hardware. Broadcom wireless chipset, Nvidia chipset, etc. I've been hacking through my dmesg one by one trying to tackle everything.
Instead of reverse engineering the drivers, like a lot of the community has done (my hats off to you!), I broke down and got a USB wireless stick (rum(4)), and am running on Vesa drivers :) It's not "pretty", but lets me run my WM (xmonad) and everything is still pretty snappy.
It's not something you setup overnight, especially when you've lost your .muttrc and a ton of other crucial dotfiles after spending too much time in OSX land and using their native applications. That's my fault.
Eventually, I'd like to give back to the community, and that's what I'm going to do.
