Hoping someone remembers this issue and can help out (a search turns up nothing).
I've been using a Atheros chipset based DLink 624 (not 624+) for about 5 months now as an 802.11b router (I've only got Airport cards, no Airport Express). For most of that time I've been using WPA-PSK encryption without a hitch through the Airport driver 3.3 to 3.4.3 updates.
However, for reasons I'm unable to determine, one of the Sept. security updates seems to have broken me. Now a fair percentage of the time the Airport will not connect when the PowerBook is woken from sleep if WPA is in use (WEP-128 seems fine). I'm absolutely positive an update caused this because a machine which had been fine for weeks started exhibiting the same problem when the updates were finally applied yesterday (main machine has had this problem since being updated in Sept.)
I recall there being a problem with Airport and Atheros, but I thought it focused on the nonstandard Super-G modes which I have disabled. A Google turns up
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?...40809092057482 but its a paid article and predates the updates that caused my issue. I'm hesitant to pay to read an article that's likely to be irrelevant.
I've done the driver downgrade dance to no avail. Any ideas anyone? Anyone recall the details of the Atheros issues? Alternately, could someone with a TechTracker account see if that article is is relevant?
Thanks,
Alex
