I've got a recurring problem with my Macbook's Airport card, and I wonder if other folks have had the same problems.

Every now and then the reception will drop our completely. There will be no bars, and there will be no networks detected. I'll restart the system, and then upon restart I'll get the icon in the upper corner, but it will be empty, and I'll be told "No Airport card installed." After a few restarts, it remedies itself; I'm concerned, though, that one day it won't fix itself with a restart.

Has anyone had the same problem? Was it hardware or software? I'm all the way up to date on Leopard, FWIW. Also, I don't have Applecare, so there's no warranty protection.

Thanks for any info!
