Yoohooo…. hopefully it’ll help the reception on my intel mini. The basestation is less than 3 feet away, but I need a cable to get any steady form of connection
Maybe I’ll be able to turn WEP on again after this update. The last update broke that functionality from my MacBook to my Linksys, but all my other Macs and PCs work just find (so only my Intel Mac). Off I go to find out.
NO, it won’t help you.
Learning how to setup your Mac will.
What we really need is an update that fixes the broken ass AirDisk functionality.
MDN word: course – Of course, that fix probably won’t be out for a while.
gee… let’s see if my macbook pro keeps dropping its wifi signal after the update…

asshole. we do know. is it our fault that the last update screwed wep up and we either had to turn off the password or switch to wpa? nope, don’t think so.
My MacBook Pro Core2 Duo works great with my new Airport Extreme Base Station (the new, square one – not the old, UFO-shaped one.) But I’m installing this now and will report back here if that changes..
I just installed this on my “upgraded” MacBook CoreDuo with the MacPro “n” card. It did not take away this new functionality and everything is running smoothly for those worried about installing this patch.
Will this patch do anything for a MacBook Pro (No-N Card) or is it just for N systems?

not to sound premature, but my macbook pro (core duo) seems to be more stable than it’s been since i got it. we’ll see if it sticks, though.
works great on my macbook. seems faster and has a longer range.

My iMac made me a cup of coffee this morning. I never experienced this until I installed this update.
This update fried the wireless connection on my MB. But after getting rid of my piece of sh*t D-Link router and switching to a new one from Belkin, everything is now working perfectly again. So if you’ve been having problems with wireless dropouts and failure to connect using WPA with a D-Link router, try a Belkin and it’ll likely solve your problems.
works fine on my imac
