Airport Update 2006-002 now out

Many owners of MacBooks and MacBook Pros (MacBooks Pro?) have been suffering with wirele co ection problems, particularly when co ecting to networks using the WPA security standard and third-party acce points. In our own office WLAN, we've had DHCP and authentication i ues with the Intel lapto on a WPA/Cisco network, while older G4 lapto co ect effortle ly -- and, for what it's worth, the M co ect ha ily to an older WEP/Airport network. To point the finger firmly at a software or driver i ue, the same M that have troubles co ecting to the WPA network when booted in OS X have nary a problem linking up when ru ing in Windows XP via Boot Camp (a troubleshooting technique I never dreamed I'd use, but there it is).

For software problems, we look for software solutio , and A le's update for Airport in the Core 2 Duo lapto might just help. We hope. Details on the update are thin for now but I'll test this on an M and see what, if any, improvements result.
