[Bug 576601] Re: [MacBookPro 7, 1]mcp89 sata link reset fails, no disks detected

@mycoma: If you have the wired network working, you can go to "Administration" -> "Hardware drivers". You can download the wireless driver from there. 
I don't know which wired network card the MBP uses, but the Macmini4,1 uses the Broadcom 57765, which also needs a proprietary driver. You will first need to download it on the broadcom website and transfer it with a usb drive (tg3 driver, you can find it in the downloads section) and get wired networking to work. 
Once that's done, you can download the drivers for the wireless and the NVidia graphics (as nouveau doesn't seem to work with Macmini)

@Hugo Estopendo
I saw something popping up in the Changelog of the next stable kernel (or one of the most recent ones) about sound support for MCP89. Can't remember exactly what it was. In exchange for that info, I will now blatantly copy your Lucid page on the ubuntu wiki and search/replace for Macmini4,1 ;-)

@ALL: Performance is, as stated above, quite bad. You can also test the drive speed with the command "sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda", it should give output like this:
/dev/sda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:   24 MB in  3.21 seconds =   7.47 MB/sec

Cheers,
K!
