On certain models, mainly MacBook Pros, this seems to be the case. I’ve been having trouble staying online recently, mostly on my home network. Connections are maintained, but it’s increasingly hard to create new ones. DNS lookups can be painfully slow, and Google Talk conversation (through Adium) die midstream, with nary an error message in sight. My problems date to around the time of the 10.4.10 Update, although they’ve been getting much worse in the past week as I spend more time on my home WiFi connection. Some users are reporting frequent kernel panics, others are having stability if outlet power is used instead of battery. In my case, it’s just very frequent poor connectivity.

I’ve just installed the fix recommended by user IamNobody in the Apple forums. Let’s hope it works. Look for the post dated Jun 30, 2007 5:01 AM.

Update: looks like I’m late to the party. Apple released a fix within minutes of this post. Yay?
