Fixes for Leopard’s AirPort issues

While we wait for Mac OS X 10.5.3, which will “resolve AirPort connection issue(s)” according to documentation read by developers with access to pre-release builds, there are several fixes that can work to effectively resolve wireless issues that continue to plague users of Mac OS X 10.5.x.
The most recent report of serious wireless connectivity issues under Leopard comes from MacFixIt reader George Hazelwood, who points to a thread on Apple’s Discussion boards in which users describe severely degraded signal strength after upgrading. Other serious issues we’ve reported in the past include one where AirPort cards are not recognized, disallowing access to wireless Internet services and one involving extremely slow throughput for AirPort connections. Meanwhile an Apple Discussions thread describing an issue where the AirPort connection repeatedly drops currently has more than 500 posts.
