[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 429055, member: 24160"] Bought mine in December rather than go Vista. Had panics start May20th. Mine are not as severe as yours and are not reproducible yet as I just had the 6th one yesterday. I have however, read a lot on the issue of the airport cards causing panics. You can look at the panic log by going to Macintosh HD - Library - Logs - panic log, to verify Airport Atheros is causing it. It will look like [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65143&highlight=panic+log"]this[/URL]. In my research I found several people that could connect at school, work, home, etc. and had no issue except in a single location. Ended up being tied to specific routers. I know this is not good either, but what you might try is check for a firmware update for your router. Just an idea. MaDDoG makes a good point. With 2 of 'em showing the same issue, think I would not only take this one back, but go online wirelessly at the Apple store or somewhere else to verify it is only the card and not the combination of the card and your router. And sounds like it makes sense to get an appointment to have them set up a 3rd one if you're going to give it a shot. [/QUOTE]
