Security Update 2006-008 Special Report: AirPort connectivity issues

Some users have reported issues with wireless connectivity after applying Security Update 2006-008 -- odd since the update only makes minor modifications to QuickTime components, and should not affect AirPort kernel extensions or related software.

Changing the wireless security protocol used by your wireless base station (from WEP to WPA2 or vice-versa) can sometimes resolve this issue. See our AirPort tutorial for more potential fixes.
