Installed on Mac Pro running 10.4.11 and Mac Book Pro running 10.5.7.
No problems so far, even without rebooting. Repaired permissions on both right after the update.

No problems with update here. G4 Digital Audio tower with Sonnet Aria Extreme 802.11g card and Airport Express (802.11g). Also ran this update on three 24" imacs at work and had no problems, although I didn't connect wirelessly on any of them. The update ran fine however. Application seems to work properly.

I ran this update on two different computers, a dual 2.0 G5 and a MacBook Pro.

On the G5, the auto update feature of the Airport Utility wanted to launch Classic. Tried this multiple times with the same result. Downloading and running the updater manually worked fine.

The problems were on the MacBook Pro. I used Software Update, and also updated QuickTime & iTunes at the same time. Ran the updates, then rebooted.

After reboot, EVERYTHING crashed (Airport Utility, Safari, Firefox, Disk Utility, Crash Reporter, etc) - all of them crashed.

Finally shut down the computer and re-booted with verbose logging (command-V) at startup. Then things seem to work (at least for now).

Did someone test this thing before it was released????
