I've seen on other threads some say they have wifi working using F9 and maybe F10. Have you tried installing F10? Is your wifi card an Airport Extreme or just Airport?

[flstenner]

F9 or F10 not yet but looking in to the Air port extreme thought. the mac book belongs to a friend of mine she got it at a flee market the disk that she got for it tells me that the OS X can not be installed but it dose let me run the tools that are on the disk.

Fedora 8 is no longer supported and won't receive any updates... You're much better off upgrading to Fedora 10.

Very true, and Fedora 8 was a ***** to get working properly on a MacBook.

Here is the guide I wrote for installing Fedora 10 on a MacBook:

ya I am swaying my thinking to go with F10 but this macbook is a 32Bit entell duo core I am hoping on getting the wifi and the cam to work. I know that my Dell is hopeless for getting the wifi to work. I have to get a USB wifi that will play with Lenux or just Fedora
