I have an odd problem with my Airport connection. It dies after 10 seconds and sometimes less than that. Every other connection type will work, just Airport dies. I looked in Console and saw the following messages that coincide with the failure of Airport. If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

-- Edit: I also get this a lot in the log:

Jan 3 01:10:14 laptop kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download

End Edit--

None of the those messages are a problem. They are caused by the airport interface going up and down quickly and various parts of the system responding to that event.

You should try things like moving closer to the base station, or connecting to different wireless networks to isolate the problem.

I sit within 4' of the wireless point. I moved next to another one as well and same thing happens. The wireless dies within a few seconds.

Thanks for the response.
