[Casper] 10.5.6 Laptop Airport Issues

[Steve Wood]

Silly question, but did you build your image using the latest OS DVD in the
UniBody box?  I found that if I used the Retail DVD to image the new Uni MB
And MBP machines that I would have some funky things happening.  The easiest
way I've found to tell on a Uni if you've got the right OS software is to
check the Sys Prefs and see if the Energy Saver is the new icon (looks like
a compact fluorescent bulb).
