Thanks to the heros on the Mactel list I have sound again. If you use Linux on a MacBook of the third generation and your soundcard has been detected but just no sound will come out, putting the following in /etc/modprobe.conf (on Gentoo: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa and modules-update afterwards) should fix the problem. Please reboot or reload snd-hda-intel after changing the configuration. NOTE: it has been reported to work fine on MacBook Pro’s too.
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=mbp3

First of all, you need hal from the 0.5.9-serie, then fetch madwifi-hal-0.9.20.3-current.tar.gz and my patch (adapted from http://madwifi.org/attachment/ticket/1315/141-Madwifi-fixes.patch). Apply this patch, ignore the first two chunks, execute make, make install and then reboot. Finally the device ath0 exists which is your wireless device.
