I ran the WWAN Support update and didn't notice any difference in my machine.

It appears in the Apple Forums, that those with Dl-624 and a few Berkley models of Routers with WPA encryption have the most problems. Turning WPA off or dropping to WEP 64bit usually fixes the broken connection. Should we have to drop our security or Apple make us another patch quick! This repair does not work for me on my WPA encryption network it only works with security off. Same thing logs in to network. Pops up the window- "There was an error joining the Airport network "my network name here". Then offers Try again or OK, click OK then after a few seconds the Airport signal strength fades away.
