Apple == Crap
August 22nd, 2004
Thou shall not trust the automatic software updates from Apple. For several
years I have been using both Graphite and Snow versions of
Apple AirPort without any
problems. Recently I had to do some configuration changes to the base
station in order to make it work with my PlayStation 2.
I fired up the Airport Admin tool and entered the
password. Upon logging in the Admin Tool offered to upgrade AirPort Firmware
to 4.0.8.
The update went in. The BaseStation rebooted. Great, I though. Now I just
continue to make the configuration changes needed for PlayStation co-operation.
Did some Googling on this and found out others have the same problem too. The solution would be to to downgrade the firmware back to the previous version. Only problem being the fact that the Admin Utility does not work anymore. I even tried the freeware Java version which just timeouts trying to read the configuration.
So I guess I need a Windows machine to fix the problem. Too many wasted hours. So long, and thanks for all the upgrades.
