Hi guys, I installed that network update (auto update...).

See no difference - anyone figured something out?

Hopefully it fixes that annoying wake from sleep/networking issue in 10.1.5... In fact, I'd bet my left shoestring that's what it does.

from the read me: "The Networking Update improves network and Internet access after restarting your computer or when waking from sleep."

No difference here... at least, it doesn't seem to break anything <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

It seems to have fixed an Appleshare problem I had with my iBook. I used to have volumes mounted from an iMac disconnect after a wake from sleep, then not be able to access that iMac at all. Funnily enough, I could STILL access my other network services just fine.

But, at least for now, all seems well again.

For some reason, the installer requires 300 MB of free hard disk space on the boot partition, which is a slight annoyance for me at the moment. Why on earth does a 700K update require 300 MB!?

Oh, and how come MacNN hasn't got this on its front page?

iTunes used to cut out for a few seconds when I connected to my ISP via dial-up but that no longer appears to be the case.

Alright, is it Snappy�?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by undotwa:

At least it's not like an Adobe installer which is Snoopy�

snerdini · Jun 22, 2002, 12:15 AM

i'm sure it's my imagination, but my cable connection seems faster too...
ignorance is bliss...

gorickey · Jun 22, 2002, 12:19 AM

Phat, thank you thank you thank you Apple....my 2 minute wait on "Initializing Network" at startup has been fixed....AWESOME!

I'm sure someone is curious what exactly was updated. So, here is the lsbom:

./System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
./System/Library/Extensions/AppleGMACEthernet.kext/Contents/Info.plist
./System/Library/Extensions/AppleGMACEthernet.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleGMACEthernet
./System/Library/Extensions/AppleGMACEthernet.kext/Contents/PkgInfo
./System/Library/Extensions/AppleGMACEthernet.kext/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
./System/Library/Extensions/AppleGMACEthernet.kext/Contents/version.plist
./System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit
./System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info-macos.plist
./System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/version.plist

It's pretty small.

And this update did no harm at all, although this morning again I have been waiting for ages to be able to unlock my screensaver <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
