and available for download from one of three servers listed on the Aspyr web page (go ->Support->Article 1182). According to Aspyr,

"[t]his update to BF1942 Mac adds better joystick controls, more stable networking code and PunkBuster support, and several other fixes. This is a public test version of the patch, an official final version of the patch will be released in the coming weeks.

We downloaded and installed the patch and played BF1942 with no apparent problems after several hours of play.
