Yes, you can use use GRUB with Apple BootCamp and rEFIt. I know
because that's what I'm using right now to boot up Edgy on the MacBook
Pro. Previously, GRUB made some BIOS calls that upset BootCamp, but
they recently fixed this. Also, probably version 1.1.1 of BootCamp
could probably help in dealing with those issues.

Are you sure? I haven't had a single problem with the Wireless on
Edgy. I use the machine every single day, a it works like a charm.
