I, 3 different people in my home, and a couple of other people at work who've all upgraded our MacBook Pros to Leopard are all experiencing Airport dropoffs. In most cases, just choosing the network again isn't even enough. We have to turn off Airport and turn it back on to reconnect. There are many others who describe the same issues on the Apple forums. Many seem to have found fixes for their situation, but those fixes don't work for many others. There have been several updates now to Leopard that have mentioned Airport connectivity issues. Each one has seemed to make the problem worse.

Is there any way to tell my iMac to NEVER EVER EVER turn off the Airport?

I've disabled putting the disks to sleep, I've disabled the
screensaver... but every once in a while, even while I'm in the middle
of typing something on a web page, the Airport icon spontaneously
greys out.  And no matter how long I wait, it won't reconnect on its
own; I have to manually select my network - which as far as I can tell
never disappears from the list, so it's not like it's losing
connectivity.

Failing that, is there a command-line tool or non-GUI-scripting AS
technique to turn it back on that I can schedule to run periodically?

I use this Mac remotely over the network - which is nothing but WiFi,
because running CATx through the hardwood floor is a pain - and it's
quite aggravating when it just drops off the network for no good
reason...
