-Some processors in PowerBooks start up at slower speed than they are designed
-to run. Running at this slower speed conserves battery life with the tradeoff
-of performance. The operating system on the machine must instruct the hardware
-to run at its full speed. In Mac OS X this is called "Reduced processor
-performance" or "CPU Scaling" in Linux. To check the current speed of your
-processor while running in Linux, type <c>cat /proc/cpuinfo</c>. In Mac OS X,
-you first have to turn off "Reduce processor performance" in the "Options" tab
-of the <e>Energy Saver</e> system preference panel. Then run <e>Apple System
-Profiler</e> (in Applications:Utilities).

-If <e>Apple System Profiler</e> reports a higher speed than what you get when

-command. First, your machine needs to be running kernel <c>2.4.20-pre9-ben0</c>
-or later. Earlier kernels do not have the code necessary to change the

-Make sure you have support for the airport card compiled into the kernel, or
-compiled as a module and loaded. Changing the wireless settings is accomplished
-using iwconfig. This is part of the <c>wireless-tools</c> package.
+There are two approaches to sound on modern kernels: OSS or ALSA. OSS is the
+older of the two options and has been depreciated, but still functions well for
+many older Macs. ALSA is the newer method and will continue to be supported in
+the future. We recommend that you use ALSA unless you have problems with it.
 </p>
 
+<note>
+If you include the OSS driver in your kernel, the ALSA driver will not load.
+</note>
+
 <p>
-As an example of using iwconfig, to set your SSID to home_ssid:
+In addition to configuring the kernel, users who should have access to the
+audio devices need to be added to the appropriate group with the command:
 </p>
 
-<pre caption="Setting an SSID">
-# <i>iwconfig wlan0 essid home_ssid</i>
+<pre caption="Adding users to the audio group">
+# <i>gpasswd -a username audio</i>
 </pre>
 
 <p>
-Where wlan0 is your wifi card's device name. For Airport users, the wifi device
-is often eth1. For more details on iwconfig, refer to its man page.
+If the kernel is set up correctly, but you can't hear any sound, ensure that
+the main mixer volume is turned up and that the device isn't muted!
 </p>

-Airport Extreme cards are not yet supported on Linux, but a workaround now
-exists, please see this forum post for more information:
-<uri>http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-365647.html</uri>
+The sound card on Macs is connected through the i2c Keywest bus, not the PCI
+bus.  You will not see the card listed when viewing the PCI bus. This is less

-There are two approaches to sound on modern kernels: OSS or ALSA. OSS is the
-older of the two options and has been depreciated, but still functions well for
-many older Macs. ALSA is the newer method and will continue to be supported in
-the future. We recommend that you use ALSA unless you have problems.
-</p>
-
-<note>
-If you include the OSS driver in your kernel, the ALSA driver will not load.

-

-In addition to configuring the kernel, users who should have access to the
-audio devices need to be added to the appropriate group with the command:

-If the kernel is set up correctly, but you can't hear any sound, ensure that
-the main mixer volume is turned up and that the device isn't muted!
-</p>
-
-<note>
-If you are using a G5 or a mac-mini, you should follow the Gentoo ALSA
-configuration guide to install the latest version of the ALSA drivers instead
-of the versions supplied by the kernel.
