MacBook Pro - Running xp 64 bit on MBP

I decided to install a 64 bit version of Windows XP on my MBP 2.4. My reason for this is I had a copy of it already so it was free, and I like xp better than vista regardless. The main problem with doing this if you have to driver hunt for every piece of hardware other than the keyboard and trackpad. Most of it is easy to find other than the broadcom wireless card drivers. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem or is even interested in x64 on their mac but I just wanted to let everyone know that I have finally compiled every driver needed to completely run 64 bit xp on your mac and if you are interested I am more than willing to give any or all of them to you.

Im interested

I have been trying to get windows xp 64 on my MBP the latest model and i cannot get the wireless, Ethernet, and sound to work. I have been reading up on as many forums as i can on where to find the correct ones, but most of the links are dead and they are of no use to me. Please send me what you have found if you think it will be of any help to me on my hunt to get this working. Thanks

I've tried the same, but to no avail... it can't be done.
No drivers, no love...
