Airport Kernel Panic

[Adam]

Hi,

I'm having an airport kernel panic. Any advice. Strangely the first one I had coincides with downloading Safari 3 Beta, but I think around that time (or more recently) there has been an airport update sent down.

What can I do? I didn't have this problem before and I think it is to coincidental for it to be an actual hardware issue.

Should add that web pages loading are incredbily slow in Safari (back to version 2) but not in Firefox or Opera and Mail is fine. Safari is always running when the panic strikes!

I'm going to **** the cd out and do the extended hardware test but any other advice?

Thanks,

Adam

its the new 10.4.10 update, it crashes Airport. But when you disable encryption or plug your laptop in to AC power it doesn't crash

Ahh that explains it. I'm pretty sure I've had it plugged into AC though, but will monitor. I'm using my lan for now.

The other thing I've noticed is that the update that came down for the optical drives seems to have rendered mine useless! Do you know anythign about that? Could it have been affected by the update?

Thanks,

Adam

Does anyone know if this has been sorted or not yet? It's driving me crazy.. and seem to do it when I'm plugged into the mains aswell

There's a big discussion going on at the apple support forums.

I rolled back the wireless driver to the .9 train and it's been fine since (coming up on 48 hours now) - on battery, off, wireless, wpa2.

I did it by following this guide:

**Proceed with caution though - I get the feeling mucking with this stuff could cause lots of problems.**
