George,
Wireless IS Supported

Wireless works fine on my iBook. Just a few small things to set up at the start. I followed YDL's on line guide. Modified /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ifcfg-eth0 (I think that's the file, to include the line SSID='my network name')
When I get home I can post the links to the HOW-TO
