The Apple Core: More drama with Apple's AirPort security
Apple released updates to their wireless networking drivers last week and they appear to have created more questions than they answered with it.
AirPort Update 2006-001 (version 1.0) was released to "improves AirPort reliability on Macintosh computers" and is only for Apple's AirPort Extreme cards. An AirPort security update was also included in Security Update 2006-005.
Some have questioned whether Apple's wireless update was released specifically as a result of the MacBook WiFi hack that was shown by David Maynor and Jon "Johnny Cache" Ellch at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas last month.

FYI: this AirPort update fixed a major kernel panic problem that was being experienced by a number of users -- particularly MacBook Pro circa week 20-22 production.... (I'm sure there's other stuff it might have fixed, too, but this is definitely something it fixed, as I was having the problem... But I'm not sure why they didn't explicitly state it would fix that problem?)
