Re: WiFi dies under Classic

[Andrew Kershaw]

Thanks, Drew. Yup, am using WEP. How does that come into play?
I've found that there's a subtle bug in AirPort when using WEP.  From 
time to time, AirPort will somehow forget that it's connected to a 
network and will refuse to see any networks whatsoever.  This only 
happens when I'm connected to a network using WEP.  It doesn't happen 
when I turn WEP off.

I have found a workaround that prevents this from happening.  Namely, 
to maintain a constant connection, I have to keep the control strip 
expanded with the AirPort control strip module visible.  Even then, I 
sometimes drop my connection when waking from sleep.  The fix to 
recover my connection is to turn AirPort off, then turn it back on 
again.  It comes back up just fine.

I should note that this is happening in Mac OS 9.2.2 (as opposed to 
Classic).  I don't run OS X, so I can't say if this is really what's 
happening to you.

I also don't know if it would help to completely disable the control 
strip (as opposed to just collapsing it).

Peace,
Drew

 Are you using WEP?
 Next time, instead quiting Classic, try just cycling AirPort in
 Classic (turn AirPort off and on inside Classic).
 Peace,
 Drew
