crap - Version: 7.4.2, 7/2/2009 07:50PM PST

i'd finally gotten my airport setup working perfectly when this &%$#?! update came out. since installing the update, one of the benefits of which is supposedly that it fixes a problem that was causing dropped connections, my connection drops at least once a day and usually more. this sucks big time.

i hope i can down-date.

After updating to 7.4.1 my wireless hp Photosmart 3310 (scanner only) stop communicating with my network. 7.4.2 did not fix this problem. I have to use older 7.3.2 which is working OK but I am bothered with messages about new available update and yellow light.
