    Apple AirPort Update CommentaryWhere's Base Station Agent? - Version: 2007-002, 8/14/2007 11:44AM PST

    What's the story about the AirPort Base Station Agent update...the third part of this package? According to MacFixIt, it's located in /System/Library/CoreServices but my OS 10.4.10 install doesn't even have a CoreServices folder. Further, Spotlight doesn't reveal such a folder in any other location.

    Is the folder dependent upon the hardware it's installed on by chance (PPC here)? Or is it a hidden folder?

    Everything is working fine after running the 2007-002 update and there's a USB drive hooked up to the 802.11n AEBS which mounts OK.

    Apple AirPort Update CommentaryMy USB drive now mounts!! - Version: 2007-002, 8/14/2007 09:57AM PST

    I have three drives with USB2 connections and one of them (a WiebeTech RTX 100) wouldn't mount on the wireless network when plugged in to my 802.11n AEBS even though it mounted just fine when connected directly to any of my three computers. But it does now after this update...wahoo!!

    First, opened up AirPort Utility, selected the AEBS, hit the new "Manual Setup" button and after it opened, clicked on "Disks" to find the drive was now listed...that was good news indeed. Then clicked the "File Sharing" tab to ensure I had "Enabled" file sharing.

    Next, opened AirPort Disk Utility and confirmed both boxes were "Checked."

    Lastly, pulled down the AirPort Disk icon from the top menu (when in Finder), selected the AEBS the recalcitrant USB drive was connected to and told the next window to "Connect with Password."

    Closed AirPort Disk Utility and lo and behold, the drive mounted on the Desktop.

    Thank you, Apple!!

    Browse the contents of airportutility.pkg and double-click on the "archive.pax.gz" file. It will drop a folder on the desktop called "Archive". Drop the files in that folder to their corresponding locations on the drive.
    Worked perfectly, and properly administers all 3 of my Airport Express base stations, cleaner and faster than Airport Admin Utility 4.2. It's a shame Apple doesn't offer this straight up.
