" Hi Mike, Just an interesting thing I thought i would pass on... I had recently taken a chance on the Airlink wireless-N cardbus card, model AWLC6080 which had been mentioned on your site as using the RaLink chipset (2860?). Like the original poster who purchased this model card, I too had much of the same problems... failure to wake from sleep, failure to see the card if it actually woke up, refusal to see the card if i hot swapped it, etc etc. It worked occasionally but not terribly well. (BTW: the Airlink pccard report mentioned problems Edimax owner's hadn't - although I'd think they're based on the same reference design.-Mike)
Well the weekend of Leopard's release, I took the plunge and upgraded my laptop to use as a test-bed before migrating my other machines. Lo and behold, the Airlink card now works flawlessly! No wake on sleep troubles, no restart troubles, everything is working great now. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get an IP from my router, but not too bad.

The only bad thing is that my bluetooth modem through my Windows Mobile-based cellphone is now broken. Apparently it has to do with modem scripts being drastically revised in 10.5 and there's not much I can do until the author re-writes them to work with 10.5. Supposedly there is a new plugin in 10.5 developer's tools for making iSync plugins which will hopefully speed the conversion process. If anybody's got any tips to make it work before then i'd love to hear them (send them in).
oh and BTW, my machine is a modified Ti PB G4 1GHz 1GB/100GB (7200rpm)/DVD-R/DL, now wireless-N and internal bluetooth (soldered onto the unused internal USB pads.) Leopard runs great on the machine, minus some of the visual bells & whistles since it's only a radeon 9000 in there. But everything works as it should, if not better, than Tiger... save for the bluetooth modem part....

There's a previous pages here with feedback (before 10.5 was released) on the Edimax 802.11n PCI card and Edimax USB 802.11N Adapter - if you're using it now in Leopard, let me know. Thanks. (Shameless plug... The site specials page has Edimax 802.11n 802.11n PCI, PCcard or USB adapters for $59 ea.)

" Just an FYI I have a Mac Pro 2.66 w/5GB RAMand two Maxtor 500 gig drives in raid 0. I was able to do an archive and install from 10.4.10 with no problems in a little over 20 min.

Another Mac Pro user that upgraded over RAID OK:

"Leopard upgrade on RAID
Mac Pro (original model). This worked OK for me. 4 disk Apple software raid stripe array (just software raid done through disk utility), upgraded from 10.4.x to Leopard.
Best wishes, Ralph"

And a PPC (G5) owner report on upgrading over RAID, with some additional notes:

" Mike, I installed Leopard (I used 'Upgrade') on my dual 2.5GHz G5 last Friday. The volume I upgraded was a pair of Raptors in a RAID 0 volume (onboard SATA RAID). Everything seems to be working, except for the following curious detail. I noticed that when I tried holding the option key to choose a boot drive, my primary (RAID) volume shows up as 2 distinct drives 'Mac OSX 1' and 'Mac OSX 2'. (I have used the option key to select my boot drive before Leopard, and never saw this issue with my RAID volume.)
I picked my backup, and then used Startup Disk to select my RAID. It booted fine. I also noticed the name of the individual RAID drives in Disk Utility has changed from whatever they were (Raptor 74 Gb or something like that) to 'Raid Slice 1' and Raid Slice 2'. Weird. As I said, everything seems to be working otherwise.

I also had a problem repairing permissions with Disk Utility, (what RP "problem" specifically? The "ACL found but not expected" messages, or just the (common) long, long time before you see any messages on the process, or the (common) "ARDAgent has been modified..." which was explained on the 10.5 page here.-Mike) The RP problem I saw was 'ACL found...', but I elected to ignore the error messages until Apple post a statement or an update (I have an external Carbon Copy Cloner clone of my 10.4.10 drive just in case).

BTW - I had the latest version of Application Enhancer (I really like FruitMenu) installed on my 10.4.10 drive, so I got the 'Blue screen of death' when I restarted after my Leopard install. (Apple posted a Kbase doc on that) I powered down, and restarted fine. As promised, Application Enhancer (the latest version) had disabled itself. (But) I later booted from my 10.4.10 backup drive to run DiskWarrior, and when I restarted on my RAID, I got the blue screen again. Apparently, DiskWarrior re-enabled Application Enhancer! I powered down and rebooted again, and have had no further problems.

The original/earlier post follows

Hi Mike, Call number 5 billion on the subject of Leopard was from a good customer of mine. He has the same MacPro as i have. Today he tried to upgrade from 10.4.10 with no joy at all. The only difference between my Leopard installation and his is that i re-created my RAID 0 set using Leopard Disk Utility. (A later mail from a Mac Pro user and others said they didn't need to recreate the RAID however.-Mike)
My customer has tried to Upgrade and Archive & Install and the task has failed, almost before starting, each time. It looks like you cannot install Leopard on a 10.4.x RAID 0. I found the following thread on Apple Discussions...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5760936�
It would be interesting to see if these are isolated cases or not.

I had at least one mail on this a week or so ago - a G5 Tower owner running an Apple Xserve RAID card with a 10.4.10 bootable RAID 5 array said 10.5 didn't list the volume in the installer (but it was seen in Disk Utility run from the DVD) - I asked if it was UFS formatted (Apple doc says installs to UFS volumes not supported) - there was also an Apple doc on no volumes appearing in installer (w/note to wait awhile) but he said DU saw the volume.

"I have a PPC tower (dual 2.7 Ghz) and just installed Leopard (via Update option). My USB 2.0 PCI card (IOGear 5-port card) no longer works after Leopard awakes from sleep.
I only have a scanner attached to it. Restarting the computer results in the card working again.
(I asked if he tried disconnecting/reconnecting the scanner after waking from sleep (just curious...) Also suggested checking the system logs for any entries that might have some useful info. (you can view them in ASP's log section.)-Mike)
Yes, I tried unplugging/reconnecting and it didn't work. I will check my system logs tonight. The only other non-stock item is my ATI X800 video card.s
