Hey nightly, are you making any progress yet. Depending on what you find I might test my macbook.
Re: Macbook Pro 15/17" Late 2009 edition
I installed BT4 using rEFit as my bootloader. Trackpad acts a little weird, the speed is slow and I can't use multi touch (obviously), but I guess speed can be adjusted. I'm trying to figure out how to install Broadcom drivers using ndiswrapper, but for now I'm stuck on an error since I don't have the ndiswrapper module installed. I'll let you know if I get it working.
If you get tired of listening to your music... cat /vmlinuz > /dev/audio

I've been looking up on Ubuntu pages since BT4 is Ubuntu based. Find your MacBook here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookOriginally Posted by Zero Day
I'm trying different things on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Intrepid
So far, I got my trackpad working...even multitouch and my eject button. I still couldn't get the broadcom wifi working. I took a little "Spring Break" from all the frustration...I'll get back to it soon.

Has anyone tried using the 2.6.34 RC2 Kernel? It is supposed to have updates to the mac80211 stack and the broadcom wifi drivers..
Re: Macbook Pro 15/17" Late 2009 edition
I haven't tried these yet but they look like a more recent version of the sta drivers,
Broadcom.com - 802.11 Linux STA driver

I'm not sure if I did it right, but I tried to install the drivers and it didn't bring up any lan device. lspci shows the card. I installed and then realized there was a patch for the latest kernel. I patched and re-installed but it still didn't work.

Greetings fellow back trackers,
I can also verify a successful dual boot of my MacBook Pro 17' (4.1)
Mac OS X 10.6
BackTrack 4
I understand that the airport extreme card may not have the abilities to do sniffing etc, (correct?)
BUT yes, I would LOVE to have it working just for general internet connectioness.
any news?
Also, has anyone made a list of what all does work?
Sound?
backlit keyboard?
etc....

How are you getting it to boot from USB? I have rEFIt (MBP 13" '09) but everytime I have a bootable USB it either says "Boot Legacy OS", or "Boot Windows from" and both just boot my bootcamp partition
