- When the network login dialog comes up, it defaults to saving passwords in the keychain (via a checkbox on the dialog), which is bad from a security standpoint.
- The window for the base station information stays open after a failed login attempt. This had me thinking that the program was seriously buggy until I realized that I was entering the wrong password.

This provides the type of info that Apple's Airport Management Utility should provide. I really like being able to see the nitty-gritty details. I especially like being able to see what type of device is associated with each connected MAC address right from the monitoring screen, e.g. "wds" for the other node in my WDS network.
I only have a couple of issues with it:

Minor correction - Catservant
I wanted to make one minor nit-picky correction to my review: It's the base station login dialog that was defaulting to storing the password in the keychain, not the network login. It appears to be a moot point anyway now that 1.1.2 is out, although I haven't tried it yet.Reply to This
