Daily Kernal Panic Glitch

[giovanni.apd]

For the last week or so, I've been receiving the translucent, grey, reboot prompt screen that you get when the computer experiences a kernal panic. However, there are a few strange things surrounding this problem:

-It is ALWAYS preceded by a drastic decrease in my network speed (via AirPort)
-USUALLY occurs within minutes of waking computer from sleep
-USUALLY occurs while Azureus is running (may be coincidence as i have it running the majority of the time my computer is on)
-ALWAYS goes to they reboot prompt screen just as i click on the AirPort icon in the top right corner in an attempt to turn it off and back on again
-if i go to AirPort connection through System Preferences i can reset the AirPort but the screen hits within minutes anyways

Anyways, just been finding this kind of weird and was wondering if anyone could help out. I was thinking of running a defrag, as that has helped in the past. When it has helped in the past though, it was with less frequent panics, and this seems to be something different, perhaps signs of a larger problem?
thanks

Your problem sounds familiar.
I'm having the same problem since i updated to 10.5.1.
See post https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/395172/

Desperately awaiting 10.5.2. And then keeping my fingers crossed...

This really sounds like a failing Airport card.
I had this happening to me before and that is what Apple replaced.

Turn off your Airport and connect directly to the router via cat5
and see if you still have a problem.

you must be using windows!

I heard 10.5.2 will be out very soon, try not to let your MBP sleep for now
