Updated AirPort software for C2D laptops

Apple today released AirPort Update 2006-002, an update to its software for wireless connectivity, for its new Core 2 Duo-based laptops, including the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros and the 13-inch MacBook. Apple only said that the 1.3MB update, available via the Software Update and via the Web, improves AirPort compatibility with the aforementioned computers. The download requires Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later. Separately, Apple earlier this week released an Aperture 1.5.2 update, while Microsoft accidently posted a pre-release of its Office v11.3.1 update, but later pulled it, acknowledging that it was leaked to the public prematurely.

Now, if they would only figure out how to get the previous generation Core Duo MBP Airport to work properly, I would be much happier.

The previous version of the software seemed compatible enough already. Not sure yet what benefit this one brings but it certainly did not seem to cause any troubles here.

My MBP C2D no longer thinks it has an AirPort card after installing this update.

Yay. Just what I needed.

I have a 13" MacBook running 10.4.8. I just ran SU and this update was not listed. SU says I have no updates. Perhaps it was pulled?

I was waiting to hear what others have experienced with this update. From what I read, most people have no issues however, I don't want to take the chance becuase I woudn't know how to fix it :( Anyway, I have no issues with my wireless connection on my MBP C2D, in fact I get the best reception among my home computers...i get full reception on the 3rd floor of my home and my router is on the 1st floor... why "fix" it if it's not broken?

I guess the rumors of the iTMS hemorraging money are true, as it appears apple can no longer afford to have someone write a paragraph that could tell users exactly what their fix fixes.
