Yup, it's a 10.6MB update.

- AirPort-værktøj
- AirPort-diskværktøj
- AirPort-baseagent

(Airport basestation update 2008-0001 includes general bug fixes and compatibility updates for the following applications:

-Airport-utility
-Airport-disk utility

(loosely translated).

Sorry if it's already been posted.
 
Anyone who's applied this update opened AirPort Utility on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme? Come on, wireless Time Machining!..

I agree, but Apple are not going to cannibalise Time Capsule sales.
 
I am really waiting for the Airport Disk Utility to work right in Leopard. Managing the Airport Disk is kind of a pain, compared to Tiger with the icon and the automounting.
 
can anyone confirm if this update runs fine on a macbook pro c2d 2.4 ghz sr on leopard 10.5.2?

reason why i'm cautious and asking first before installing any airport updates:
after major issues with random disconnects during the time between the airport 004 driver update on tiger up until the 10.5.2 leopard update(when it finally and officially got fixed for me), i just want to make sure there's a better chance this, or any airport update, won't mess up my system's stability is all.

thanks in advance.

Nope, although mine is close (if that helps - propably not) Running fine on an MBP C2D 2.33GHz, leopard 10.5.2.
 
Weird. The front page of MR says it's a 8.something MB update, whereas mine was 10.6MB. Language-files the size of around two MBs?
 
According to AI there is a update for the N routers as well:

The 11.4MB update began showing up via the Mac OS X Software Update application as "AirPort Base Station Update 2008-001" earlier this afternoon for those users who own one of the company's 802.11 routers.

Shortly thereafter, a similar set of updates were released via the company's website under the heading AirPort Utility 5.3.1. ...

Maybe a firmware update to the Airport Extreme is coming soon? I am really wanting my Airdisk to work the way it has been reported to work under Tiger.

EDIT: Sadly, my USB disk doesn't show up under Airport Disk Utility, as usual. Clicking on my AEBSn in the Shared pane in Finder shows Connection Failed. I did notice, however that the icon for Airdisk has changed in the Manual Setup area in Airport Utility. Now I really want that AEBSn firmware update soon! C'mon Apple, give us the feature that you already say you do!

Ah, that might actually give some reason (or explanation, rather) why I received a 10.6MB and a different wording to what's on the front page of MR.

I have to say, though, it seems rather amateurish that Apple sends out an update, and an hour later, it's smaller, and with a different wording. Does the right hand not know what the left is doing?

It happens from time to time. Back in October/November they issued an update to fix the iMacs freezing problem and then retracted the Tiger version quickly afterwards when they found out that its was bork'ing people who subsequently upgraded to Leopard. QA needs... well... QA. Funny thing is the Leopard version didn't fix the problem anyways.

the links no longer work is there a problem with the update???

Looks like they're doing it again!
 
Oh great!
Thanks Spot and Cube. Although I have had no problems with this update, I have recently (the last month, methinks) begun having my keyboard/screen freeze, forcing a hard shut down. This revoking their crap this time too, makes me not downloading ever again, until I have checked and checked. My TM-back up is not good enough to give me assurance considering everything. CCC here I come.

CCC or SD is required anyways for a "proper" backup so until TM becomes more Airdisk friendly, I have turned mine off.

I only use TM with a FW/USB drive.
What's "SD"? I only get the association Sound Devices, and I'm sure that's not what you mean, haha :p
 
It's now possible to downgrade the firmware, even if you don't have the firmware file on your machine (as was required by older versions).
