With Apple moving ever forward from Panther (currently 10.3.9) to Tiger (currently 10.4.2), I wonder whether I should follow them or make the switch to Ubuntu or Kubuntu (uses KDE instead of Gnome).

Unfortunately my experience matches Aaron Toponce's experience: No wireless. I have to try again some day. ๐Ÿ˜„

This chipset is a broadcom 4301 chipset. The drivers for this chipset can not be released by the manafacturers because this card has the ability to broadcast in a spectrum that is reserved for military use. [...] However, it is not all bad news. There are those who are working on the broadcom drivers to provide a free and functional set of drivers for Free operating systems available from http://linux-bcom4301.sourceforge.net. This driver is not in a workable state but it is in development. ยน
