No deal, i have an SMC-AP, simple plug'n play....
Some hints for you: you will have hard work, especally when you come
from i386 plattform, for myself it took 4 days to success in installing
on my ibook, if cd-install does not succeed, try copying the installer
files to an hfs partition and try to install from there, when you have
video problems, use video=ofonly untill you have fixed the problem.
it's definitely more complicated than on i386 and you habe to do same
things by hand, but you will get a good durable notebook with stabble
power management (i boot my iBook less than once the week...)
For german keymaps or when you have problems just contact me...
AVE!
