C3000 N100 and Intel 4965AGN compatibility

Hi,
I have a Lenovo C3000 N100 notebook (0768-BQG) which comes with an Intel wireless 3945ABG mini-PCI express adapter. I would like to replace that card with Intel 4965AGN (the same form factor) to use the 802.11n standard at home. I am aware that wireless adapters are authorized by some manufacturers and to avoid error 1802 “Unauthorized network card is plugged in. Power off and remove the mini-PCI network card.” I would purchase a card with the Lenovo FRU number 42T0865 (Intel 4965AGN MM1) which is used in some ThinkPads.
Here are my two questions:
1. Is any BIOS version for 0768-BQG machines compatible with the Intel 4965AGN adapter?
(TV Access Connections from version 4.40 seems to be).
2. Has someone already made successfully such upgrading?
I would like to avoid no-1802.com-like solutions.
Thanks for any help, Peter

I would also like to upgrade the wireless card in my laptop, which is a 3000 C200. Currently has the Intel 3945ABG which barely works - always dropping connection even when sitting right next to the router.
Does anybody know which cards are whitelisted in the BIOS?
I suppose getting any help from Lenovo on this front would be out of the question?

310N and Intel 4965AGN ?? Solution or Bye Bye Linksys ?

Linksys 310N and Intel 4965AGN, no wifi-n.
So I've read up and down on the linksys forums and notebookreview.com for a solution, and can't get anything to work.
I have a mixture of B and G devices on my network, and my main laptop has the Intel 4954AGN internal wireless card in it.
I now am basically to the point where I will never purchase a linksys unit again after these problems. They say their unit will run the 802.11n mixed with other network protocols, but the few times i got the N to work, i couldn't get anything else to connect. And if i got the B and G to work, it's because I disabled the N.
Does anyone have settings that work with the 310N and Intel4965AGN combination.. Where other wireless units can connect as well..
I have the latest linksys firmware installed on the 310N,
I also have the latest Intel drivers.
Running Windows Vista Business 32bit. 3gb Ram. Core2-Duo @ 2.5ghz

Here are some settings which you can try on your router, I to had the same problem, but when i made this changes on my router now its working perfectly fine.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

SFP-10G-LRM and Intel E10GSFPLR Compatibility

Hello,
I wonder if someone can help me with a seemingly simple but elusive question. I'm looking to make a purchase of several SFP-10G-LRM modules to support 10Gb communications over our OS2 fibre infrastructure. All runs are less than 300m so this is cost effective compared to using SFP-10G-LR.
On the other end of the fibre will be some servers using Intel E10GSFPLR (10Gb 1310nm) optics.
My question is this - are these optics compatible for the situation I've described? I've done some searching and can't find any definite information either way, despite these being popular choices (I guess).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Unfortunately, optical transceiver modules do not auto negotiate for speed. Therefore, you cannot connect a 10Gbps interface to a 1Gbps interface. You need to upgrade both ends before the circuit can be completed.
If you need equipment to support the intermediate step in the upgrade cycle, you might look at purchasing Cisco Refurbished Products.

G4 and Intel compatibility

Hey there!
My new MacBook Pro is the first Mac I've owned. I'm using it for music creation and most of the software has system requirements for a Mac G4 processor. This may be a stupid question but will they run fine with my 2.16GHZ Intel Core Duo processor?
Thanks!
- Wil

Hello Wil,
And welcome to the Discussions!!
Your Macbook Pro will run G4 software (PPC) just fine. Included in the installation of OS X is a run-time environment called "Rosetta." Rosetta translates PPC code "on the fly" so that it can be run on the new Intel processors.
Obviously, these applications will not run as fast on your MBP as Intel-native software will, but Rosetta does a pretty good job. Depending on the software, it should run about as fast on your MBP as it would on a G4, due to the faster speeds of the Intel processors. These apps take a hit from having to run in Rosetta, but this is balanced by the faster machine.
You don't have to be concerned about whether software is "Universal" (written for both PPC and Intel) or PPC only; OS X will detect which is the case and run it in the appropriate environment, transparently. Just install and launch the software; OS X takes care of the rest.
There are some circumstances, however, where you might need to do a little "tinkering" to get an application to install. Many apps make use of OS X's "Installer" application to install themselves. If this is the case, and the application isn't "Universal," you might get an error message upon trying to install it. Flip4Mac, for example (a Windows Media replacement and "helper" application), uses the OS X "Installer," and it won't want to install itself. No problem; just navigate to the "Installer" application in /Applications/Utilities/, click on the Installer application, press Apple-I to open a "Getinfo" window for it, and click the "Open in Rosetta" button. This will cause the Installer to open in Rosetta, allowing you to install Flip4Mac.
Still using the Flip4Mac example, the same "Open in Rosetta" choice applies for its use. Flip4Mac installs components in Safari so you can view Windows Media files in that browser (like CNN.com video). Under normal circumstances, you will not be able to view these videos in Safari. With Flip4Mac installed, however, you can set Safari to "Open in Rosetta," and the videos work perfectly.
Eventually, all software, plug-ins, components, etc. will be "Universal," and our need to use "work arounds" will diminish and disappear. Since everything will be running natively, and thus much faster, we will all be happier.

MSI x48c PLatinum and Intel E8600 Problem

Hello, I'm from Greece
My computer Setup is:
Mobo: MSI X48C Platinum (bios version 7.0)
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8600
PSU: HEROLCHI 525 Watt
RAM: OCZ OCZ3SOE10664GK DDR3 4GB (2x2GB)
VGA: Albatron 8800 GTS
HDD: WD 300GB SATA
The problem is:
I bought them yesterday because i want to upgrade my system.
I connect them all properly in my case and after i turn the PC on it freeze in the MSI logo screen and cant even enter BIOS Setup.
The first time i turned the power on a message like: "Your previous overclockinn atempt was not succssefull. Press a button except del to load defaults and continue." i do what it said and freeze after that message.
This just the first time, the other times it just freeze on the logo screen. Some times it beeps one time and reset by his own and sometimes beeps four times and then reset. The most of the times it just freezes in the logo screen.
I took everything off and reinstall them. Nothing Happen.
I tried with one dimm of RAM each time in deferent positions. Nothing Happen.
I did o clear CMOS from the back button. Nothing Happen.
I perform a clear CMOS with the old method (unplug power, remove battery, wait for a couple o minutes). Nothing Happens.
I believe the problem is with the bios version i have and the CPU compatibility. I look at www.msi.com.tw and it said that this board its compatible with the INTEL E8600 but only at the 7.2 version.
How will i update my bios if my computer doesnt even enter bios setup?
Please help me. any suggestion. I'm losing my mind here!
Thanks you in advance.

Quote from: triangle on 28-August-08, 17:00:43
the only thing i can suggest is to drop in a 7.0 compatible CPU (if you can) and flash the BIOS to 7.2 that way then switch back in your new CPU. A painful process, I know ... Alternatively, if your retailer is friendly they might set it up on a test bench for you and flash it.
Andrew
Like Andrew mentioned, this is the only way out though it is a long painful process.
The other is to get a board that is compatible to the E8600 right out of the box.

WRT300N Router does not working with Intel 4965AGN adapter on Wireless-N

Hi! I have recently bought the laptop Acer 5920G with Intel 4965AGN network adapter and Windows Vista. I have read that WRT300N Router is supporting Draft-N standard, so I purchased it. The router is working fine on Wireless-G 54Mbps (firmware - 2.00.17), but not on Wireless-N. I tried to enter the following settings: ssid - any non-linksys name; radio band - wide; n-channel - 9; standard channel - 11; beacon interval - 50; Fragmentation threshold - 2306; RTS threshold - 2307, but nothing has happened, connection still remains 54Mbps. How should I configure the router and network adapter to get Wireless-N?

okay... try reflashing/upgrading the firmware on the router, after reflashing the firmware on the router, reset it back to default settings and reconfigure it according to ISP settings...edit the wireless settings again, make sure that "wireless mode" should be mixed...
on the vista computer, click on start >> control panel >> network & sharing center >> manage wireless network and try removing existing wireless networks from profile and manually add wireless n/w profile according to wireless settings of the router...check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

WRT110 crashes with Vista SP1 and Intel 3945

I have a WRT110 with the latest firmware 1.0.4, an a Dell XPS1330 with the Intel 3945abg wireless card and the latest drivers in Intel. When ever my laptop tries to connect the router crashes and drops all other connections with other wireless devies and wired devices. I also have another laptop running XP that works great on the wireless connection. It's same to say the problem is limited to the Vista machine and the Intel 3945 wireless card. Now sure what to do?

I have the same problem. Took me a while to figure out that when i connected my Toshiba laptop with Vista and Intel 3945 Router and network crashed couldnot even get the router accessed on hardwired computer. Everything returns back to normal when laptop disconnected from wireless network
Customer support was not able to help, called them twice. I solved by connecting an old wireless router to one of the ports of Linksys and connect my Vista laptop on that wireless network. That is not really a solution but if you'd like to, return the router until they can at least admit that there is a problem with compatibility, upgrading firmware on wireless adaptor did not help.
(Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance.)

New Intel Chip Compatibility & Dual Boot

Hi folks,
Just heard about Apple's new Intel chip compatibility and had a quick question. I develop software on the Windows platform primarily but would love to be able to run the Mac OS for testing of web browser-related stuff plus the BSD-related stuff on the same computer.
Can this new O/S be installed as one boot partition of a dual/multi-boot computer? If so would you be kind enough to point me to the appropriate URLs?
Thanks!
Best,

Windows XP Pro

PowerPC Macs can run a Microsoft application called Virtual PC that allows you to install and run Windows on a Mac. VPC emulates a PC, so it's fairly slow, but it's fine for doing things like checking websites for compatibility in Windows IE, etc. That's primarily what I use it for.
The new Intel Macs can't run Virtual PC (yet anyway), nor can they currently boot Windows, although supposedly that will change when Windows Vista comes out. Also, Microsoft is reportedly planning to release a version of Virtual PC that will run on the Intel Macs, and that should provide near native speed for Windows inside of Mac OS X.
As for running OS X on a PC, you can't.
This page is free and lets you check your website for compatibility with Safari, the default web browser on Macs: http://snugtech.com/en/safaritest/ I've never used it, but it seemed like it might be useful to you.

Intel 4965 compat-drivers

Hi,
My wifi card is Intel 4965 a/b/g/n and I need compat-drivers to fix "fixed channel: -1" bug.
I have question about installing compat-drivers-patched from AUR.
I dont know how to load driver after i installed it.
Im currently using standard drivers (iwl4965). Should I uninstall them before installing new drivers? What is package name of this driver?
I have installed compat-drivers-patched by makepkg and makepkg -i.

Satellite L100-108: Upgrade from Intel 3945 WLan to Intel 4965agn

Hi,
It is possible to replace the wifi card that brought the Satellite L100-108 (Intel 3945ABG) for the one Intel 4965AGN?
Both cards are mini pci-e and the chipset on the motherboard (with the Everest says only that it is Toshiba), is the Intel i945GM.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Why you want to upgrade the WLan card?
I mean the Intel 3945ABG provide three different WLan standards.
OK, the Intel 4965AGN provides the 802.11 N standard but this standard cannot be used because the WLan card would need 3 wire wlan antenna
As far as I know the L100-108 has been equipped with two wires Wlan antenna which is designed for A B and G WLan standard.

T61 - Intell 4965AGN - Wireless radio is powered off

I am getting to wits end trying to get my wifi connection to work. I NEED HELP!!!
I just purchased a Lenovo T61. It came with Vista which I despise!!!! So I decided to install XP. I didn't want to eliminate Vista since I develop programs for windows and want to keep Vista around for testing purposes. I partitioned the hard drive and installed Windows XP Pro SP2. After about 3 weeks of research and installs, un-installs and re-installs and then finally getting ThinkVantage Update installed and letting it get everything updated I think I have a pretty good setup. Except for the wifi adapter.
The computer came with the two LAN connections. A gigabit adapter for wired connections and an Intell 4965AGN wifi adapter. I am using ThinkVantage Access Connections. I prefer to keep this because I use the laptop at home, work and on the road. Access Connections gives me the capability to save a separate IP configuration for each location. That is worth a lot.
The wifi switch on the front of the T61 is switched on. If I bring up Fn-F5 it shows the "Hardware Wireless Radio Switch" as ON.
I am able to get the gigabit connection to work without issue. But I can't get the wifi adapter to work. If I bring it up on Device Manager I see the 4965AGN under Network Devices. If I bring up the Properties dialog it shows "Wireless On" on the Advanced tab and the Driver tab lists a driver version 11.5.0.36 dated 11/27/2007. The toolbar shows the wifi icon with a red X showing that it is not connected. If I click on "View Wireless Connections" I get the message that Windows cannot manage that wireless connection.
So I start Access Connections and start setting up a new wireless connection. I identify the connection as wireless and move to the second page titled "Enter wireless network configuration:". I give it an SSID and click on "Find Network". I immediately get a pop-up stating "The wireless radio is powered off. Do you want to power it on?". I click on "Yes" and that dialog goes away. But nothing on the entry page changes. None of the drop downs are populated. If I click on "Find Network" again I get the same message.
I have tried re-loading the wifi drivers from the Lenovo web page with no change. How can I fix this?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think I have a solution to this. It worked for me. I wandered into this forum and found people with the same issues. I have just fixed my R61i. It was a Vista which I downgraded to an XP ( it was doing my head in)..
Everything went well, apart from the wireless not showing in access... it worked, but only outside. I too LOVE the access program.
This is how I fixed it..
I went here
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62875
I then downloaded the patch and installed it. I was curious in that the "Intel Proset Wireless Software was NOT in my program list (under Add/Remove Software)
I ran the install (its clear in the instructions where to find it) page 3 under Manual install.
I restarted and ping... up came a new icon, and gone was the initial freeze at startup time (which was happening every now and again)
I love my R61i. I love it even better now it works under XP and works with access. Although Mine is an R61i A lot of T models are listed at the top of the solution. Print off the full text and read it whilst you work through.. Good Luck
I have registered just to pass this on because a few of you above seemed stumped, just like I was.

Apple Releases Security Update 2006-004 (PowerPC and Intel)

From Macfixit................
Apple has released Security Update 2006-004 for Mac OS X in both PowerPC and Intel versions. This update requires Mac OS X 10.4.7 for either PowerPC or Intel, Mac OS X 10.3.9 or Mac OS X 10.3.9 Server.
This is the fourth major standalone security update for Mac OS X released this year.
Update procedure recommendation First, avoid performing any other operations (in Mac OS X or third-party applications) while the update process is occurring. In addition, before installing this security update, make sure all Apple-installed applications and utilities are in their original locations. Moving one of these applications to a different location on your hard drive can lead to an incomplete update. Also, disconnect any FireWire/USB devices before applying the update (except for your startup drive, if it is FireWire or USB, and your keyboard/mouse), then re-connect the devices one by one (checking for issues created by any particular device) after the update process is complete and the system has restarted.
Enhancements in this release
Of most interest to general end-users:
a fix that prevents maliciously crafted Zip archives from causing condition where arbitrary code can be execute. In other words, prior to Security Update 2006-004 you could download a specially crafted file ending in .zip from a Web site or other location, and it could trigger the execution of malicious code.
a fix that disallows maliciously crafted Canon RAW images from creating a buffer overflow, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. Prior to Security Update 2006-004, you could download or otherwise receive a Canon RAW file that could allow execution of malicious code on your system.
similar to the above, a fix that prevents maliciously crafted GIF images from causing an integer overflow, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
new download validation that will catch certain HTML files defined by Safari as "safe" that may actually contain malicious JavaScript code. After applying Security Update 2006-004, these files will not be automatically opened.
Protection against maliciously crafted HTML documents that can also open the door for arbitrary code execution by accessing deallocated objects.
A full list of enhancements is as follows:
AFP Server
An issue in the AFP server allows search results to include files and folders for which the user performing the search has no access. This may lead to information disclosure if the names themselves are sensitive information. If the permissions of the items allow it, the contents may also be accessible. This update addresses the issue in Mac OS X v10.3.9 by ensuring that search results only include items for which the user is authorized. For Mac OS X v10.4 systems, the issue was addressed in Mac OS X v10.4.7. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9:
The AFP server contains an integer overflow that can be triggered by an authenticated user. A malicious user with access to the AFP server may be able to cause a denial of service attack or arbitrary code execution with system privileges. The AFP server is not enabled by default on Mac OS X. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation. Credit to Dino Dai Zovi of Matasano Security for reporting this issue. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.
On Mac OS X Server, the AFP server supports reconnection of file sharing sessions after a network outage. The storage of reconnect keys is world-readable. It may be possible for an authenticated local user to read the reconnect keys, use them to impersonate another user over AFP, and access files or folders with the privileges of the impersonated user. This update addresses the issue by protecting the reconnect keys with appropriate file system permissions. This issue only affects Mac OS X Server. Available for: Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.
An unchecked error condition exists in the AFP server that may lead to a crash. By carefully crafting an invalid AFP request, an attacker may be able to trigger this condition and cause a denial of service. This update addresses the issue by handling the formerly unchecked error condition. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
Bluetooth
The security of the Bluetooth Setup Assistant has been improved in this update for Mac OS X v10.4.7. The length of the automatically generated passkey used for pairing has been increased from six characters to eight characters. Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
Bom
An issue in Bom's compression state handling may cause heap corruption. By carefully crafting a corrupt Zip archive and persuading a victim to open it, an attacker may be able to trigger this condition which could lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution. Note that Safari will automatically open archives when "Open `safe' files after downloading" is enabled. This update addresses the issue by properly handling such malformed Zip archives. Credit to Tom Ferris of Security-Protocols.com for reporting this issue. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.
DHCP
A stack buffer overflow exists in bootpd's request processing. By carefully crafting a malicious BOOTP request, a remote attacker may be able to trigger the overflow and cause arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the system. Note that bootpd is not enabled by default in Mac OS X, and must be manually configured in order to be enabled. This update addresses the issue by performing additional bounds checking. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.
dyld
Malicious local system users may specify dynamic linker options that cause output to standard error. This output contains informational content and potentially user-specified content. As a result, privileged applications that parse or reuse standard error may be influenced inappropriately. This update addresses the issue by ignoring the problematic dynamic linker options in privileged applications. Credit to Neil Archibald of Suresec LTD for reporting this issue. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.
An improperly handled condition in the dynamic linker may lead to including dangerous paths when searching for libraries to load into privileged applications. As a result, malicious local users may cause the dynamic linker to load and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This update addresses the issue by properly selecting search paths when executing privileged applications. Credit to Neil Archibald of Suresec LTD for reporting this issue. Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
fetchmail
Several issues in the fetchmail utility were discovered. The most serious issue could lead to arbitrary code execution when fetching mail from a malicious POP3 mail server. All issues are described at the fetchmail website (fetchmail.berlios.de). This update addresses the issues by updating fetchmail to version 6.3.4. In addition, fetchmail is no longer distributed as a privileged utility. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.
gunzip
A race condition may allow a malicious local user to modify the permissions of files owned by another user executing gunzip. This issue is only exploitable when executing gunzip on files in directories that are modifiable by other users. This update addresses the issue by properly handling files while decompressing. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.
A directory traversal vulnerability is present in the command line utility gunzip when it is used with the non-default "-N" option. By carefully crafting a malicious compressed file and persuading a user to open it with "gunzip -N", an attacker may replace or create arbitrary files with the privileges of the victim. This update addresses the issue by properly stripping paths from files when decompressing. Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9, Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
Image RAW
By carefully crafting a corrupt Canon RAW image, an attacker can trigger a buffer overflow which may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of Canon RAW images. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.
ImageIO
By carefully crafting a corrupt Radiance image, an attacker can trigger an integer overflow which may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of Radiance images. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
By carefully crafting a corrupt GIF image, an attacker can trigger an undetected memory allocation failure which may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of GIF images. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7.

Credit to Tom Ferris of Security-Protocols.com for reporting this issue. Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
LaunchServices
Download Validation may erroneously identify certain files containing HTML as "safe". If such a file is downloaded in Safari and Safari's "Open `safe' files after downloading" option is enabled, the HTML document will automatically be opened from a local URI. This would allow any JavaScript code embedded in the document to bypass access restrictions normally imposed on remote content. This update provides additional checks to identify potentially malicious file types so that they are not automatically opened. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
OpenSSH
Attempting to log in to an OpenSSH server ("Remote Login") using a nonexistent account causes the authentication process to hang. An attacker can exploit this behavior to detect the existence of a particular account. A large number of such attempts may lead to a denial of service. This update addresses the issue by properly handling attempted logins by nonexistent users. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. Credit to Rob Middleton of the Centenary Institute (Sydney, Australia) for reporting this issue. Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
telnet
When connected to a TELNET server, the client may send the contents of arbitrary environment variables to the server if the server requests them. Some environment variables may contain sensitive information that should not be sent over the network. This update addresses the issue by ensuring that only non-sensitive variables and variables that the user has explicitly requested are are shared with the server.

WebKit
A maliciously-crafted HTML document could cause a previously deallocated object to be accessed. This may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by properly handling such documents. Credit to Jesse Ruderman of Mozilla Corporation for reporting this issue.

Buffer overflows were discovered in TIFF tag handling (CVE-2006-3459, CVE-2006-3465), the TIFF PixarLog decoder (CVE-2006-3461), and the TIFF NeXT RLE decoder (CVE-2006-3462). By carefully crafting a corrupt TIFF image, an attacker can trigger a buffer overflow which may lead to an application crash or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of TIFF images. Systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4 are affected only by the TIFF NeXT RLE decoder issue (CVE-2006-3462).

Right after installing Security Update 2006-004 (Intel) on my macbook pro I am having troubles with my wireless connectivity. Here is the dump from the console:
Aug 3 15:49:43 x-ray /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: WirelessAssociate2() = 88001006 for network RadioActive

Aug 3 15:49:59 x-ray /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: (had password)
I can reboot and it will work, but if I put my macbook to sleep it, when I wake it, it will do the same thing again.
I am also getting timeouts waiting for results of 1st wireless scan to complete in console.
Anyone else having this issue?

ILife 08 and iMovie 06 compatibility issues?

Sorry if any of this has already been covered in other threads...
Has anyone had a chance to thoroughly test the 6.04 version of iMovie (download version if you install iLife 08) and know what compatibility issues there are?
I.E. How well does iPhoto 08 play with iMovie 06, or iMovie 06 with iDVD 08. Are the third party plugins problematic with v6.04?
From what I saw at the Apple store, iPhoto08 and iDVD08 would be the only apps that I would really want since iMovie08 seems to be a step backwards and iWeb is still lacking in everything that I wanted improved. But I don't want to waste the money to discover all sorts of "gotchas" with trying to get iMovie06 to play nice with the rest of iLife08...
Also, has anyone done an install excluding iMovie08 entirely? Do you still need to download 6.04 if installed this way? Are there any pitfalls?
This is like Deja vu or something...When iLife06 first came out, I installed everything but iMovie and stuck with iMovie05 for a long time cause of all the bugs and how long it took to get the third party plugins working...

Of all the things for people to moan about with iMovie '08, the real unfortunate thing is it's inability to import effects, etc. (essentially your completed movie) from iMovie HD. One could somewhat forgive Apple for this debacle, if only it played nice with iMovie HD. Then it could be everything it's supporters say it is, i.e. "a different app," "a simple app for simpletons in a hurry" (although I find it's lack of tools and compatibility issues more difficult to manage).
...and a lot of us feel like this is the thing we're going to be stuck with going forward.
I keep thinking that something else is going to happen, because this can't be right. I think this diver/video engineer who came up with this concept is suffering from the bends.
Apple doesn't need the money, (as in making us buy Final Cut Pro for decent video editing), trust me, so I don't understand why it would take the PR hit.
iMovie '08 spoofs are already on YouTube, etc.
