I can't say we're seeing any of these issues. I seem to recall reading somewhere about some wireless quirks on the latest intel Mac's but we don't seem to be experiencing it. Our controllers are still on 3.1.3 code awaiting the 3.3. GA later this month. Jack, are you running with any compatibility features like Disabling Short Preamble? Do you have rogue AP mitigation enabled? What code are you guys running? mike - Michael G.

We saw similar issues, but thought that the workaround provided by Meru had been working. I just was told yesterday that no, a number of people are still having problems. I don't have any good answers for you, since we're just starting to ask some of these questions. > > Basically a laptop can connect, it says it's connected with a good > signal, > but can't get online.
