Has anyone else had this problem? I get it periodically and it's quite irritating.
I try to connect to a wi-fi access point (right now it's a public access point at a hospital). OSX either won't associate with the access point or if it does it gets a self-assigned IP address (169.xxxxx) In any event it won't work.
However if I boot the same computer into Windows XP using boot camp then the same laptop hooks right up and starts working wirelessly. Also: My iPhone is able to connect to the same access point.
I even tried totally reinstalling OSX fresh on the same computer but I experienced the same problem. (So I subsequently rolled back using time machine.) I did a firm-ware update, but no change.
Has anyone else had this occur? Does anyone have a solution? It's embarrassing to have to boot into XP to work. (and even then I can't access my OSX apps that I need).
