I get the same.  The network part works, but continuously getting
those messages on the console really screws with my ability to do

And what would be the point of buying an iBook2 and running a GUI?

oversensitivity of the trackpad (it registers movement before you
actually touch the surface - including having your palms above it
while typing) makes me not like running X on this guy.
