Have surfed the net looking for a solution. SWoL here seems to have the same problem and fixed it but left no real instructions http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=6368307 I have serious dropping of connectivity issues - the worse is with Skype and ff3 plus sometimes Safari - so using Opera. Before I try fix my baby I'd like some reassurance as I've never gone down this road into my Mac. I know its this as I have a PC laptop hooked up via wireless to the same routed ISP. Jon or someone else do I simply use the code/text in your original post and follow the instructions you set out for Erika above to fix my 10.4.11 dropping connectivity issue?

Tried to fix it installing an older airport extension version as someone said at Abeton Form and it only made it worst: No airpot at all. Panic. I found your link at same Ableton Forum. Saved. Everything's just fine. Thanx so much ! Hi,

Is there a way to strip just the firmware from the 1.4.9 kext and somehow update the 10.5 kext with that? I'm sure it's the newer firmware for the airport chipset which causes the problem, as 10.5/10.5.1 and 10.4.10/10.4.11 have the same newer firmware, and the working 10.4.9 has the older firmware.

As you can guess Apple's new update break my wireless connection, and I have recovered with your method. I cannot thank you enough for how much you help me around me at the other side of Earth. For those ones who might visit this page after me, I will make some simple note. My hacintosh, Asrock 945G-DVI mobo pc, was originally running with 10.4.10. After souped up with pc_efi v5.2, I could simply use apple's update without modifying a bit. So there I had 10.4.11 updated hacintosh. After my airport gone, I used the file uploaded in this page, and everything is back in business. lol I have found out your website from google by keywording 10.4.11 and IO80211family.
