I'm using this entry to keep a sort of log of differences I find with the brand new (since 10.2.5 came out) 3.0.4 version of the AirPort Extreme driver.
Already, I've been able to put my access point back into G-only mode, so it appears that they've fixed that.
It also looks like I can disable SSID broadcasts on the access point (meaning you need to know the network name as well as the WEP key to associate).
More as I discover more...
Update! Even more good news! My preliminary fiddling suggests that a lot of the panics relating to removing CardBus cards with the driver active may be fixed. If you have the signal strength icon in the menu bar you may need to open up Internet Connect and toggle the checkbox if it gets stuck in the "X" (hardware missing) state, but apart from that it appears that you can stop and remove the card without blowing anything up.
I have created an apple script that makes it easyer to edit the perl script. I also made a set of apple scripts to install and uninstall the driver patch. nsayer if you want it email me.

Thx

I've updated to 10.2.6- skipped 10.2.5- and can't get this working. My AirPort driver is still 3.0.3, and the perl script gives me the "Wrong Driver" error and doesn't do anything. Any suggestions here? I've tried different driver codes from the perl script, with no sucess..

PS (I also posted this in the AirPort Updates section).
