A 2008 Macbook is either the MB402*/A MB403*/A MB404*/A (MacBook4,1) or MB402*/B (MacBook4,2), both of which use the Integrated Airport Extreme 802.11a/b/g/n (draft-n enabled) which uses a Broadcom proprietary driver. If you can make a wired connection, you can follow the instructions at MacBook can’t find WiFi for Ubuntu 18.04 to load the relevant proprietary drivers.
