I experimented with Powerprefs and was able to deduct that most of what pbbuttons currently does, apart from controlling the backlight and the eject key, is...
I was able to install the downloaded firmware-b43-installer package from a USB stick while running from the current live CD.

I have described theese in another thread...
The 11.10 mini iso I downloaded did not recognize the ibooks hard drive during install. I don't know if that has been fixed by now.
So I used the 11.04 mini iso to install a command line system...
