    Seems like a kernel panic log to me.

    Looks like it was caused by the Airport drivers. Check the card is correctly plugged in (not loose etc).

    It still has an Airport card as a card as far as I am aware. It could get knocked loose during transport/moves etc. Other than that it could be a hardware problem with the card, or potentially bad memory. Try running the hardware diagnostics.

    Do you get that error often or was it only once?

    Kernel Panic.

    Did it ask you to turn the computer off? If so then it was a kernel panic.


    Is this a one off if so then I wouldn't worry too much right now.

    If not then does it happen when running any particular programs, at any specific times, when doing any specific things.

    You could try doing the apple hardware test that is on your install DVDs, hold down D on boot with the disc in the drive.

    Almost everytime I go away from the computer or when the screen is asleep, the computer shuts down after crashing.

    When I come back, I find that it has shut off automatically. I have to reset the switch on the wall and then restart the computer and then I get this report.

    So it normally happens when I have either left it for a long time or when it is in screen sleep mode.

    Any idea?

    The easiest thing to do for you would be to backup your files, and re-install Mac OS X (software). Then, if the problem persists, and you are not keen on opening your mac yourself, get the machine serviced by a technician (hardware).

    Also, do you have Applecare? If so, run the Techtools diagnostic program and see if anything comes up. It also wouldn't hurt to run Disk Utility (included in your mac).
