Subject : LUG: MacBook

I recently (and by recently I mean in May) purchased a MacBook Pro 13 in, and I wanted to dual boot with Ubuntu 11.04. (and possibly triple boot with Windows 7, but that's another issue) I actually successfully dual booted, with only one major problem, no wireless.  I did some googleing and found that Ubuntu doesn't have the drivers for the "MacBook Pro Early 2011" models. I used model identifier and I have "MacBookPro8,1." Does anyone know of a way to get wireless working on these newer MacBooks or do I have to wait for Broadcom to release the drivers (if so, do you think they will release the drivers?)? I would really like to run Ubuntu on this computer without Virtualbox and with wireless.

Thanks,
Nick
