I've heard of lots of problems on MacFixIt.com with that combo. The Base firmware updates seem to break more than they fix.
IIRC, the update was for AirPort Extreme base stations and ANY AirPort-enabled computer that connected to AirPort Extreme base stations. Those connecting to a NON Extreme base station, should not install it I believe.
Well, for my part, any update that shows up in Software Update, I do install. I did install everything that Software Update thinks I should get and I never had any problem after using OS X since the first beta version came out, about 4 years ago...
All well and good, Your way seems to have worked for you so far so congratulations. However, I wonder about Apple's "shotgun" approach in Software Update. There have been updates where the description specifically said to NOT install it if you don't meet the requirements. If SU checks for what is on your computer, then it should know that you don't have an iSight or iPod because those show up in the System Profiler. I have a 2nd Gen iPod, yet SU still tells me to dl & install updates that specifically say that they are for the iPod Mini and Click-Wheel iPods. Of course you can tell SU to ignore the update but, as I understand it, that means that it will ignore ALL future updates for that item.
