Mac Book Pro Wifi Issues In The Wild?

Written by Karl L. Gechlik | AskTheAdmin.com on July 12, 2007 – 3:01 pm -

Has anyone else out there experienced these symptoms on their mac book pro after updating from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10…

1. Full signal strength and no connectivity? Doesn’t matter if you are on top of the router?
2. Turning the airport off and onmagically makes everything “work” again.
3. There is no method to the madness. Sometimes it works for hours no problem and others…
4. The console.log file has errors that look like this:

mDNSResponder: SetupAddr invalid sa_family 0mDNSResponder: getifaddrs
ifa_netmask for fw0(7) Flags 8863 Family 2 169.254.59.71 has different family:
0mDNSResponder: Repeated transitions for interface en1

5. Do you have other MBP’s with the same setup and NO issues?

Let us know we thought we were the only ones with issues on one out of 10 of our MBP’s. We exchanged it and that ended our problem. Never to resurface again.

Post your findings in the comments!

Our readers have spoken! Everyone is having the issue after the last update but some people have no issues what so ever here is a link to the apple forum discussion:
The fix will probably be another update. You heard it here first!

    My problem happened after my last update and happens at least once a day and sometimes more.

    I would restart and be back in business now i have been cycling the wireless.

    I NEED A PERMANENT SOLUTION PLEASE!

    Never had the kp’s but lost connectivity. I was able to temporarily fix just by tapping the airport icon and voila! For permanent fix used the fix supplied by iamnobody on this discussion

    It’s September 2008 and the problem is still there, on new generation MBPs and MacOS 10.5.5 … Does this mean there really is no hope?

    I have the first three symptoms, cannot check no. 4 now, have other computers in the house that work perfectly.

    Apple just released (october 27, 2008) a software update to fix the wifi problem everyone is having on intel macs. Just click on the apple logo on top menu bar and click software update. This fixed my problem.
