I downloaded and installed it on my Pismo even though I have an
original Graphite base station. I didn't try to update my base
station firmware as it was already at the latest level (3.84,
which is ancient but is the most recent level for the Graphite's).
I usually install all the software updates--and this one in
particular--since (a) new h/w has a habit of showing up in my
house, and (b) I carry my PowerBook around and occasionally
connect with other AirPort/WiFi networks.

and then you can tell it to ignore ignored updates (i.e. Show them)

 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.

I have to take Laurent's stance on this. . I too don't have any 
problems at all with my Pismo running 10.3.6.  The only updates I 
haven't installed is for the iSight and the iPod. . .neither of which I 
have.

dangling pointer n.: [common] A reference that doesn't actually lead
anywhere (in C and some other languages, a pointer that doesn't actually
point at anything valid). Usually this happens because it formerly pointed
to something that has moved or disappeared. Used as jargon in a
generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example, a local phone number
for a person who has since moved to the other coast is a dangling pointer.
