I bought MBPro one week ago (20th December 2007), running Leopard, applied all updates and still having the kernel panic - when running on batteries and being connected via AirPort with network encryption WPA Personal (TKIP)..

Have you applied the recent updates? They have fixed the issues for me.

i bought a macbook pro in july 2007. the infamous kernel bomb occurred everytime i used airport. I had to talk to 14
“experts” at apple to finally get authorization a return. I finally got an apple techie to acknowledge the kernel issue and he stated the engineers are working on it. the customer care and sales support stuck to the apple company’s rhetoric of not accepting responsibilitty for the kernel error.

Turning off Airport protects me from KP.

It is only certain networks - WPA/Enterprise is the one that kills me. And apparently it is only some types of APs. My Airport Extreme is fine, for instance.

I’m having the exact same problem. I Just bought the 2.5Ghz 15″ model. Kernal panics everytime I’m running of batteries and on a network - not sure yet if it will KP when airport is switched off but when its pluged in with Airport On there is absolutely no problem.

I hope apple really knows about this and does something quick

Yeah, I came across a couple of posts on Apple Discussion forums. I’ll see if I can still find the links.

I’m having the same issue, but it seems to have started when I updated to 10.4.10. I’ve tried reverting the Airport extensions to the 10.4.9 release to no effect. Do you have a URL to show Apple’s awareness of the issue?

Cheers,
