Powerbook G4 here, and I have wireless problems too. Any network with encryption refuses to work peacefully. I really hope Apple has listened to customers on this one. This has been one long month at college without wireless...

I have the same problem. I've had to enter in the IP address of every machine i want to get files from. It's kind of annoying considering it should put those machines in the finder sidebar.

"Trying to control everything"That explains their extensive use of and commitment to open standards throughout their operating system and products (MPEG, PDF, POSIX, OpenGL, OpenStep) and the fact that the entire core of OS X is open source (Darwin).Let's compare using the above examples only:Apple: MPEG, PDF, POSIX, OpenGL, OpenStep, DarwinMicrosoft: WMV, XPS, WinAPI, DirectX, .NET, NTYeah man, the similarities are uncanny.

I've got the 2.4 GHz MBP with a WPA router and I've had no issues aside from the fact that once I connect to a network (or it automagically does so), I can't see any of the other networks unless I restart the airport card.

I have done a clean install of 10.4.11 and did an in-place upgrade since this is the only way Apple allows me to use Leopard - even though the adds say that the new and refurbished machines come with Leopard it is not by default installed (very inconvenient). After installing 10.4.11 properly (my main beef is with Netbios names (NMB Daemon) and Active Directory) using Active Directory 1.5.6 the system works very fast. Doing the in place update the system works fine for a couple of days, upgrading all the available Apple updates. After three or so days all of a sudden the system shows up with different netbios names in the active directory, something that is VERY annoying and VERY strange. This basically means that also the shares no longer will be allowed to mount although SMBVIEW still works properly. The netbios name can change to something like minixvjhz or whatever name it seems to think of. This also means that printing no longer can occur, so I installed LPD but normal printing through Windows shares should work (heck it does in 10.4.11). The other very annoying issue is the Finder closing whenever unmounting or ejecting DVD/CDs. There are several bugs in the networking - just unplugging the network cable from the iMac is causing everything to freeze up, I mean the spinning baseball has not been seen this often!! Leopard has some very good improvements as well, but the annoyances are enough for me to flip my system back to OS X 10.4.11 on my main iMac and I will run Leopard on my MacBook to keep testing.
