[Casper] 10.5.6 Laptop Airport Issues

[Cyrus Vahhaji]

Which installer did you use to create this image? Retail or what came with
the machine. If retail, which version of OS was it?

Thanx

We have been successfully running our generic 10.5.6 build on all macs
including new unibody macbooks.

As for the Energy Saver prefs, you can use pacifist to grab the
EnergySaver.prefpane from a unibody Install DVD and add it to your old
image.  I'm crossing my fingers that 10.5.7 will update Energy Saver so its
consistent on all 10.5 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?
