My thoughts about 10.5.6
For anyone who hasn't updated to this yet, quite frankly I wouldn't bother, I upgraded 2 systems from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 on my own (ga-p35-ds3l) I had to go back to kexts from 10.5.5 for bluetooth and usb, bluetooth just didn't work and usb was a little glitchy at times, on the other system (foxconn intel 945 chipset) I had to replace kexts for bluetooth and nvidia kexts for 7300le card as new kexts broke sleep.

For both systems I can honestly say the advantages of upgrading were zero, personally if I had known would have waited for the next update to fix this update which has been pretty shoddy compared to previous updates. Just my opinion, what's yours?

For me, it doesn't matter.

USB isn't working on 10.5.4 aswell as 10.5.6.

can i just reiterate something most usb issues are down to having a system kext that doesnt match the kernel eg kernel 9.5 = system kext 9.5 thats how it has to be and sorry if im telling everyone something they already know
