Every 5 minutes my wireless connection to my Airport drops resulting in my getting disconnected from playing Lineage 2. I play online games and need a stable connection. This used to happen on my MacBook Pro and a Linksys router so I just ran ethernet to my computer. Now I have a new iMac with Leopard and thought this would be working since it is no longer beta drivers. I am not close enough to the Airport to hook up to it. Anyone else experiencing this? On the Linksys router I also had a ThinkPad from work connected and it would never drop the connection to the network.

This is something I had hoped would be fixed with Leopard. It's not "part of" Leopard, but I hoped a fix would come out with it. Basically there's something about some AirPort cards and some routers (not necessarily Linksys routers), that makes newer cards-typically the N-capable cards-drop at intervals. So it's a "known issue" but one that doesn't yet have a fix. Sorry about that...
