So, I took the plunge and installed Snow Leopard on my brand new MacBook Pro. Big mistake!
First, let me say that I love the way Apple makes people pay for minor upgrades. Upgrade 10.5.8 to 10.6 for $30; come on, it should be free! They did the same thing with the iPod Touch from 2.2 to 3.0 for $10.
As soon as I installed the Snow Leopard upgrade, my WiFi (or Airport, in Apple parlance) began acting up. Every time I logged in, the Airport status would show an exclamation point, meaning it couldn’t get an IP address. If I turned Airport on then off, it would work just fine. It would work fine, that is, until it didn’t.
I would be browsing away, and all of a sudden I would get the “Your computer is not connected to the internet” message in Safari. The Airport status said everything was just fine, but I had no connectivity in any network applications. Again, turning Airport off then on fixed the problem, until it happened again.
I reinstalled the OS, no deal. I tried some things listed in the forums where many people say they had the same issue (just google snow leopard airport problem), no deal. I talked to Apple support three times and tried all of their suggestions, no deal.
So, I downgraded back to Leopard and kissed my $30 goodbye.
“It just works.” Yeah, right….
