[QUOTE="fmouse, post: 1344208, member: 228295"] Rest easy! Your English is probably better than mine, and I'm an American ;) My guess here - and it's just a guess since the kernel panic reports from Leopard apparently don't include an execution backtrace - is that the AirPort driver is crashing and panicking the kernel. The symptoms you describe are exactly the same as mine, using Lion, and the crash report in Lion suggests that the crash occurred while executing code within this driver. From the number of people I've found in Mac forums who are having [I]exactly[/I] the same problem, or one very close to it, my guess is that this is Apple's problem and all we can do is wait until they fix it and push the fix to the rest of us. The workaround, as I noted, is to hard-wire your network with ethernet. In my experience here, using FaceTime over Wi-Fi is the only circumstance under which this problem occurs. FaceTime is a particularly big user of bandwidth, and my guess is that the kernel panic is caused by a buffer overrun or other condition caused by the fact that data is being queued for output faster than the output can handle it. No problem. :) [/QUOTE]
