Brief Hands-On Report--Apple released AirPort Extreme Update 2007-003 for Intel-based Macs

AirPort Extreme Update 2007-003 for Intel-based Macs is available via Software Update or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. According to Apple,

This update is recommended for all Intel-based Macintosh computers and includes compatibility updates for certain third-party access points configured to use WPA or WPA2 security.

We downloaded and installed the update on our MacBook Pro C2D, iMac C2D and iMac CD, mostly with no problems. On restart, our 15" 2.33GHz MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo hung at a gray screen with the fans revved up to high. After several reboots, the same thing happened so we disconnected our USB mouse, popped out our FirmTek eSata ExpressCard and disconnected our external Cinema Display. The next reboot was successful. We have noticed no problems connecting with our AirPort Base Stations (Express, Extreme "G" and Extreme "N"). [Bill Fox & Dana Baggett]
