I've been off the circuit since I bought a Mac, but if nothing changed iwlwifi is the current open source effort to supply drivers for intel wireless chips. Other efforts have stopped by now, I believe. If memory serves, it has support from the Intel development team.
Not having X is bad because then you don't have NetworkManager, or do you? Does anyone know if you can control it from the command line? If you can work with the machine from the text consoles or from another machine via ssh, then you could try invoking wpa_assistant from the command line and issue the appropriate commands to get an association, then run dhclient to get an IP address. Let me see if I dig those from my help files... There you are: ifconfig wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd Substitute your real wireless iterface for wlan0, and wext is the usual argument for -D. If all goes well, then you run dhclient <your_wireless_interface> and check afterwards through ifconfig whether you've been assigned an IP address. Then you can transfer several big files to /dev/null just to be sure the thing really is able to sustain a long transfer.
