It turns out the Apple USB touchpad driver (appletouch) has been merged into mainline 2.6.14 (not yet a final release). I've compiled -rc4 and it works beautifully. Users should read Documentation/input/appletouch.txt — I found the mouse input was painfully slow before using the suggested Synaptic driver for X.

Enabling 2.6.14's IEEE 802.11 stack allowed me to compile and load the bcm43xx driver required by Apple AirPort cards, and combined with the firmware extracted from /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext on my Mac OS X install it looked very close to working. There are still a couple of incomplete functions and an unhandled interrupt stopping it, but hopefully they'll be resolved soon. If I can find the time, I'll take a look at the code and the spec and see if I can help at all, but kernel/driver programming is probably beyond my abilities at the moment.
