The problem we ran into with the 10.4.10 update was that the early model
intel macbook pros would have the wireless connection randomly die
silently when you were running on batteries. It almost never happened
when plugged in. It was not isolated to Meru's APs. I had it happen on
home wireless stuff too. using Clear, WEP, or WPA did not seem to make
a difference.
The 10.4.10 fiddle fix was to replace some kernel extensions with the
ones from 10.4.9
I used the instructions from this blog entry:
http://taisteal.atomiclemur.com/2007/06/how-tiger-10410-killed-my-wireless-and-how-i-fixed-it/
Instead of downloading from the blog I extracted the files from the
10.4.9 combo myself.
The good news is that you do not have to do the extension hack fix
anymore. Apple released a patch that seems to have fixed it.
I believe this is the one:

We've seen 2 problems. One was Meru's and was fixed with the 3.3
code and later(if I recall correctly), and just as we got that fix
rolled out, we upgraded to 10.4.10 and all the intel Mac notebooks
went back to having problems again. This is fixable with a bunch of
fiddling with drivers, or backing out to 10.4.9 so we think it's
Apple's issue, not Meru's. I can get some more details from one of
the people here who researched it extensively (he'd just gotten an
hand-me-down intel mac put 10.4.10 on it, and it didn't work :-)
