[Casper] 10.5.6 Laptop Airport Issues

[Thomas Larkin]

We had the same problem but it is because the password for the keychains don't match.  I posted a link to a script a week or two ago that would allow you to script SSIDs, keychains, and all of that jazz out to the end user.  It should be in the casper mail archive.

I agree.. we had the same issues here.   Something about the unibody OS restore cd is different then the retail DVD and the retail DVD won't even boot our Unibody machines.  So for us I have multiple configurations.. one for unibody and one for the other machines.

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).

We are having a problem with imaging machines using a 10.5.6 base image.  Specifically, when the image is deployed onto newer Macbooks (both plastic and aluminum) and MacBook Pros, the airport configuration does not work.  The WEP keys are still registered in the system keychain, and the airport PLIST is correct, but the laptop will not join either wireless network.  I have tried using an external keychain install package at imaging time paired with an On-First-Run configuration AppleScript (using Keychain Scripting), but it does not work in production, presumably due to limitations of keychain scripting (the technique worked perfectly when run locally on affected machines). 

 

This base image includes all of the latest software updates as of yesterday (including the AirPort client update).  Is anyone else experiencing this issue, and (more importantly) have you found a fix that works consistently?
