Hi, first, i would like to thank the creator of the bcm43xx_enabler.sh script for making my wireless working in my laptop
But i got a small issue with airport and sleep.
When i make my computer go to sleep, everything goes well but then when i wakeup the computer, Airport is disabled and i cannot enable it. Clicking on "enable airport" just does nothing. even rerunning the bcm43xx_enabler.sh script in terminal does nothing. Seems like I absolutely need to reboot, then i get airport working right again.
i searched a lot on a couple of forums about this but found nothing to fix it. Thats why i gave up and posted here
I hope someone has a solution, because this is the last thing to fix before i have a 100% working macbook (or Hackbook...).

No, sorry:)

Are you using chun-nan's iopcmciafamily.kext? If not try that, it helped with some problems I was having with the same card. (There are 3 versions, one for Tiger, one for Leopard and another for 10.5.6, make you use use the right one.)
