That's torn it!

[Peter Gort]

I haven't had the chance to read the wiki yet (so many jobs to do, so  
few hours...) but I just installed Feisty on my Macbook (not pro)  
yesterday.  It warned me that it was using unsupported drivers for  
wireless, but did it anyway.  On the mac side I queried by base  
station for the "windows hex key" for joining the network, then  
entered that key into Feisty.  Feisty accepted it and joined the  
network.  So far all my experiences with Feisty have been wonderful  
except that I can't get the native 1280*800 screen resolution.  I  
don't expect that will be a problem for you since the Macbook Pro  
(unlike the macbook) has a dedicated graphics chip.

Good luck!

Peter
