Updated half an hour ago. No problems so far, but I didn't have any issues in the first place.

MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz.

 

[L3X]

nice, this should fix the problems people have been having...

 

[macjonny1]

OT a bit but does anyone have an idea of apple releasing an updated airport express with wirelss N?

 

[GrueHunter]

Everything seems to be working! Always nice when the update doesn't break anything

 

[thejadedmonkey]

I had a problem today where network speeds were at 1.5kbs on WLAN.. I've never had this problem before, but hopefully this fixes the issue.

Aha! iMac isn't included because it'll have the support...when it comes out next week.

(no comment about Mac Pro )

Geeze, slightly vague. I'm hoping this will fix the wifi drop offs I've been experiencing since updating to 10.4.10.

 

[bhjs1]

Working fine for me

seems alright to me

Have you guys been seeing AirPort actually disconnect (and go grayed out), or just an Internet connection drop? I am seeing my Internet drop out several times a day, but AirPort is always connected and good. So I am not sure if my problem is AirPort or ISP related

Hehe. Nice call!

I'll be typing away (IM/ MR/ other sites/ email) when all of a sudden everything screeches to a halt.

Look up.

Sure enough, the wifi network get's grayed out, de-selected. I have to reselect the network, not a HUGE ordeal, but obnoxious when it happens more than once every few hours.

Internet connection drop for me (OS X still thinks it is connected).

I will run this update when I get home and see if it fixes the issue.

i knew this was an airport station problem and not the airport card problem. the internet dropoff occurs only when you are using the Airport Extreme Station. I was getting so pissed to the point of getting rid of MBP. Hopefully this will fix the problem.

Yeah, it's called AppleTV.

 

[mick4394]

Figures. Right after I sell my Macbook, the update comes out.

 

[Yankees 4 Life]

i can see our negative friends are in today

 

[williedigital]

Yeah, it's called AppleTV.

But it doesn't have either of the three main functions of express...

1. wireless network extender (is this even possible with N networks?)
2. printer networking
3. accepting "pushed" music

 

[twoodcc]

sounds good. i'll update shortly

same here, but it hasnt been happening since ive updated. Though it hasnt happened a lot recently. I think it was my router.

This didn't show up in Software Update on my Core 2 Duo Macbook,
and wouldn't install when I downloaded it from the Apple site (link above).
Since I was suffering the dreaded kernel panics and non-loading web-pages,
I previously applied the fix described in the Apple Discussions Macbook forum.

 

[Eidorian]

Not much more then the same ol'.

 

[joshwest]

i cant get my airport disk to mount to my Mac Pro maybe this will help

 

[RoadKill]

hasn't stopped my random reboots or kernel panics that only started with 10.4.10 also my system.log still gets filled up with:

AppleYukon: 00000000,00000000 skqueue - SkEventDispatcher - ignoring event queue, hardware is not responding

which I believe is more to do with the ethernet card in my Macbook. When I'm at work at plugged into the ethernet I don't get the random reboots or kernel panics so am hoping for 10.4.11 or patiently waiting for 10.5.0
