A couple of days ago I did an OS X software update. After the reboot, my wireless network (with a D-Link router) was found, but I couldn’t connect any more to the Worldwide Pool Of Wisdom (WWpoW). As I started to search the web (using a Windows XP laptop from my customer – oh irony), I discovered there where a lot of users with the same issues. There’s also an article on this.
