Eric, My Intel MacBook (black model) did exactly the same thing, drove me nuts and it got so it would do it without it going to sleep, it would just lose connection for no reason. It was under AppleCare so I took it to Louisville and they installed a new wireless card. Didn't help a bit so since I had experienced so many problems with this computer I was allowed to upgrade to a new one for free or pay the difference to go to the MacBook Pro.
Hopefully in your case the Airport card will solve your problem. John On Feb 12, 2009, at 3:11 PM, Eric Hammond wrote: > Ok, This issue has cropped up a bit recently.
