After the update my C2D Macbook Pro 2.16GHz is acting weird. I am currently at work and connected to our network via ethernet so I can't fully test this.

When the airport card is turned on the airport process uses almost a gig of ram and maxes out the processor. I can turn the airport card off and it still maxes out the processor and ram. I have to kill the process in Activity Monitor. I will see how the process runs when I am at home and can connect to my wireless network. Maybe the airport process always takes up that much ram and processor power when it is looking for a network??? Seems high to me.

Anyone else experiencing this?

This is not normal behaviour.
Do you have any VPN software setup by any chance?
