Really? - That would be a really easy fix then, at least to try before moving on to Plan B which I think would be Kris's USB 802.11n WIFI adapter. I installed Tiger on my MDD and my previous powerbook (Pismo), but when this one came with Leopard I figured I'd just leave it there and see how I like it. So far, I'm not feeling the love anyway. I haven't loaded too much stuff on this AlBook yet, so should I just figure on wiping it all out and starting over?
