Hey list,
First a disclaimer that I realize this E-mail contains some very
specific OS X-isms and may not belong on this list, but I think the
problem described here is sufficiently low-level that someone here
might have a better idea how to troubleshoot the issue... I'm also
curious if anyone else is seeing similar behavior.
I've run into an issue several times with my MacBook Pro where my
AirPort card mysteriously loses its brain regarding network
connectivity.
Disabling/enabling the card from the Mac OS X menu item doesn't fix
the issue, but rebooting the laptop does.
The problem appears to be related to certain types of traffic (I've
seen it happen a lot during iChat video conferences, and now with
McAfee Internet Security 2007 trying to gather updates from a Windows
install in Parallels).
It looks like the driver gets totally stupid and stops seeing
networks...
From Console.app I see the following possibly interesting log messages:
Apr 30 23:18:08 WankleBook configd[37]: Error: Failed to join most
recent network "wardriveme", err=88001006 (will search for any others)

Is my only resort here to file a radar, or are there other steps I
can take to gather additional data?
