AirPort cards on older versions of OS X System
Recently I had a problem where my system crashed when trying to wake it up from sleep mode. I was running Mac OS X 10.0.3. After rebooting, my AirPort card could not be found. It did not appear to enumerate within the IORegistry, beyond the "radio" object.

After upgrading Mac OS X to 10.0.4 via Ethernet, it still did not work. The problem was solved by removing /var/db/SystemConfiguration/*, rebooting, and reconfiguring my network. I did not bother trying to see what specifically caused this, I just started from scratch.

Hopefully this can help somebody else.

[Editor's note: I'm not sure how many people are still running an older version of OS X, but if you are, the above hint may be of assistance.]

Not being rude or anything. But why would you still be running 10.0.3, or 10.0.4??? 10.1.4 is the newest, and then 10.1.5 will be out soon. How come you wouldn't want to upgrade. The 10.1 discs are free at CompUSA

Not Available Everywhere

Because, they may be in the situation that I've seen lately. The 10.1 upgrade CDs can not be ordered by Apple authorized resellers any more, and they don't seem to be available from the Apple store any longer (correct me if I'm wrong, please). Stores are not allowed to copy the 10.1 update CD to give out, even though it requires 10 to be installed to use it.

In the area that I live in, you cannot get the 10.1 update any longer without buying a full version of 10.1.3 off the shelf for $129.
If someone knows that you can still get it from Apple for $20, please point me to it on the web. I know the page is still up (but hard to find), but clicking on it's "order" link does not take you to such a page.
