Omg thank you Apple! I've regretted applying that previous update but I found out too late and there was nothing I could do but wait for another update. Finally they knew that the previous Airport Extreme update actually did more harm than good. Before that update, nobody had any problems.
Got a tip for us?

Just going by what was posted here:
AirPort
Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9
This update corrects an issue where the AirPort connection may be lost after waking from sleep. This issue only affects Mac OS X v10.3.9 with Security Update 2007-004.
FTPServer
Available for: Mac OS X Server v10.4.9
Security Update 2007-004 applied an incorrect ftp configuration file for Mac OS X Server v10.4.9 systems. Users with ftp access, who would normally be restricted to certain directories, may be able to access directories outside the normal scope. This update addresses the issue by restoring the correct version of the ftp configuration file. This issue only affects Mac OS X Server v10.4.9 with Security Update 2007-004.
I imagine the other versions are for people that haven't applied version 1 of the update yet. But it doesn't mean that you would have to apply the patch if you're not affect by what the patch fixes
I was going by the support doc for the Universal version which said "is recommended for all users" who have either 10.4.9 or 10.4.9 Server. I've just tried the PPC-only version which seems to have installed ok. Strange.
Ok.. I lied about what I said earlier... I just applied this update, and the same error message that has plagued me since MB rev.B was released still appears when I wake my MB from sleep:
"There was an error joining the Airport network "-insert network name here-".
Uh, "realistically weary", maybe? OS updates have been known to fail, for whatever reason; whenever Apple releases a new one it seems there's always one or two posters whose systems get hosed.
Uh oh... looks like I'm that user. Updater dropped in the QT stuff fine, but has been sitting on the "optimizing system" part of the Airport Extreme for about 15 minutes now, not budging. (Macbook running 10.4.9)
Anyone else seeing this? Anyone had a smooth update on a similar Macbook?

I updated a Macbook CD running 10.4.9. Ran smoothly. No noticeable differences in anything.
Is that a MB rev A or B (CD v. C2D)? I'm about to start the process on my rev B.
Not sure what CD v C2D means, but I assume it's a Rev A since I ordered it the day they came out.
Still sitting on "Optimizing." Tried quitting from the menu, but nothing happened. I'm a bit scared to force-quit the software updater.
Do NOT use WEP. Very, very, VERY BAD wireless security.
Do NOT use WEP. Very, very, VERY BAD wireless security. It takes less than one minute for someone with a sniffer to crack WEP now.
When are they going to fix the WEP security so my DS will work with it?

Weird all these Airport patches only for Intel. I wonder why they have that many patches for Intel.
Wow, is it me or does everything seem quicker with Panther?
Another thing is for OSXPlanet now works again with the Quicktime update, good update!
Nice update
!

Yeah, weird. My airport also goes out when waking from sleep on my MacBook C2D 2.0 GHz white, with 802.11n enabler installed.
This issue doesn't seem to be isolated to 10.3.9, that's for sure.
CD = Core Duo (Yonah based)
C2D = Core 2 Duo (Merom based, current MacBooks).
Our guide page has more info.
Two updated in one week (the battery issue a day or so ago)? I feel like I'm running OSXP!
