Title: RE: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Mac issues
I am new to Mac. Anyone by chance knows Leopard on MacBook or Pro (with
802.11a/b/g/n card) wireless preference: does it try a/n first? or
b/g/n first? and is there any way to change it? thanks in advance.
We have 802.11a and b/g available with same SSID, and find Leopards
only connecting to b/g, not a.

Thanks, Phil. I knew 10.5.2 was coming, just didn't realize it was
actually here. It is frustrating that something that's 190 MB in size
(the 10.5.2 "patch") has so little real information available on it. I
dig around on several Mac forums to no avail, and find Apple's site to
be almost worthless in this respect- does anyone know where any real
detail on Mac updates might be available?
Also- am seeing just as many trouble reports as fixes attributed to
10.5.2 during random searches- hopefully it really does help and not set
us back even further.

We have seen lots of failure to authenticate to our Cisco LWAPP system
on startup by MAC OSX 10.5 - the recent release of 10.5.2 seems to have
"fixed" that. Other MAC users across campus report improvements in
wireless functionality on their Macs since the update. Sorry I do not
have more specific information.

There is a known condition with wireless Macs where the adapter clings
to bad 11a cells, even when better 11g is available- we are struggling a
bit with this in certain spots right now. I'm also getting a sense that
the newer Mac laptops (both MacBookPro and Air) that have 11n built in
may be somewhat dodgy on our Cisco LWAPP network, though so far the
evidence is circumstantial at best. Is anyone else seeing Mac-specific
wireless issues?
