I guess I'm an apple groupie, minus the OS!! (two dells also, that I'm going to bring back from the dead when I get a chance). With 2.6.29-rc8 I've noticed this twice the first time about a month ago. basically I turned on the macbook had the radio streaming, as well as T.V. then a few seconds later all connections died on the macbook, then after freaking out I decided to reset the router, but still system runs(macbook) and then everything dies. Then freaking out for the second time, I decided to shut everything off of the router except the macbook, and voila no problem streaming. Then after about ten minuets of non interruption I turned the iphone wireless back on, and bam the macbook had a dead connection again. (leaving me dazed and confused, and that's without any liquid propulsion). The second time with the same kernel was about a few days ago, but this time after resetting the router, shutting everything off except the macbook, and then turning the iphone back on seemed to run fine.(leading me to believe something might be wrong with the router). As for 2.6.30-rc4 not sure, still need to get the wireless running smoothly, and then I'll go from there. --=20 Justin P.
