What's strange about IO80211Family.kext in the 10.5.8 that it's version is 2.1.6 and size 4.9 MB. In the 10.5.7 it's also version 2.1.6, but size is 4.5 MB. The question is how can thy make changes to the driver that it's size changes, but version number remains the same?
Got a tip for us?

Same here, fingers crossed, I had this problem with 10.5.6 and supposedly it was worse on 10.5.7 so I never installed that (plus because of the USB disk issue).
As far as I could ascertain, my particular USB buffalo external wouldn't have worked on 10.5.7 but its working fine on 10.5.8.

No.
You will always read about problems with updates because few people will post to say 'hey I just downloaded a new release and its working fine. How many reports of problems have you read, a few dozen? how many people do you think upgraded? Probably tens of thousands at a minimum, maybe hundreds of thousands.
Plus of course, as per the person with the email problem who posted here, then later said 'oh no its wasnt that I fixed it, it was just a coincidence I had upgraded to 10.5.8', now people are posting here 'I got the email problem' as if its an acknowledged fact!
Plus the fact the people go looking for things that aren't there. I've never had an issue with an update. I've never been subjected to something breaking because I've updated.
Well, my wifi goes at 1/4th the speed when on battery. My ping to the router increased by 900%. Fine when the power cord is connected and ping is 0.5ms. Running on Macbook 4,1. White, 2.4ghz. And this happened after the update. Not entirely sure which macbooks are getting these issues.
MB 5.1 : Things seem otherwise ok but there is weird,weak flickering on the screen now when the computer goes to half sleep (the semi dark screen.)
It is particulary visible in the light areas of the screen.
Anoying.

Update 10.5.8
I've updated to 10.5.8 (Combo Update) and so far I'm not having any problems. I know it's mostly me, but Safari seems to work better on this site. :/

EDIT: I forgot to mention what machine I have it installed on. I have it installed on a Late 2007 MacBook.

Mmmmmh, no. Everything is even snappier and fluid than it used to be.
Maybe you should try to run the maintenance scripts
bash$ sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
And you could also delete your cachés under ~/Library/Caches (just delete everything inside this folder)
Good luck.
Safari seems to actually be crashing more...
Safari seems to actually be crashing more since 10.5.8.
I've filed now at least 4 bug reports. Seems to be allergic to Facebook & some banking sites. I can understand some Safari incompatibilities that are site specific, but the crashing thing?
Wonderful.
10.5.9 soon I hope?
Obviously I'm not getting the SnowLeopard bug fixes on my PowerPC Macs, so I sure hope this is soon fixed. It's very annoying to be doing something, either banking or Facebook, and have Safari just spinning beachball, then quit.
Do something Apple please.

10.5.8 boots faster than any other Fully Fledged Computer OS i know of.
Its near express gate speeds. Go Apple GO!

Alright well how do I get it off and stop ical from crashing?
Also will that have something to do with my function keys not working?
EDIT: Ah I found it thank you. That fixed it.
How did you know thats what it was?
Still got your Mac OSX disks?
Download Pacifist, use it to reinstall iCal and download the Combo Update.
I got it all to work. I guess it was voice over. I dont know how it would effect it on .8 but not any other updates.
Thanks though!
Big enough to temporarily foobar some Hackintosh installs.
I think some of the geeks at Apple just look for subtle ways to challenge the DELL Mini community.
