Hi

I have a couple of queries with a Ubuntu 6 installation.

System:
Apple PowerBook G3 333Mhz (Lombard)
384MB RAM
Dell TrueMobile 1300 PCMCIA wireless card.

The machine dual boots Mac OSX Tiger and Ubuntu 6 and I choose the Dell 
TrueMobile 1300 because it works as an Airport card under Mac OSX. I didn't 
give my Ubuntu installation a second thought when I purchased it.

I have read a few 'how-tos' and last time I attempted to remove the 
broadcom driver and set it up with ndiswrapper I broke my Ubuntu 
installation. Any ideas how I can get my Dell card to work.

Second question, how do I change the boot order as Yaboot works fine, but 
it defaults to Linux and I would like the default OS to be Mac OSX.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am not a newbie to Linux but not 
very experienced either and would like to delve further into Linux.

Regards

Simon
