Hey Guys, I am having intermittent problems with wifi now. Can you all help me out? Even if you don't have problems, this is helpful.

Please fill this is accordingly:

OS X Version: (10.7.0, 10.7.1 or 10.7.2)
Wifi disconnecting: (Yes, No)
Problems experienced on: (AC, battery, both)

Also, please upload your dsdt.

EDIT:

This is what console shows about wifi when it stops working. To make it work, I turn wifi off in OS X, and reconnect to the network.

Code:
10/24/11 4:05:11.000 PM kernel: en1: 802.11d country code set to 'US '.
10/24/11 4:05:11.000 PM kernel: 1275.485226: ATHR: unknown locale: 60
10/24/11 4:05:11.000 PM kernel: en1: Supported channels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
10/24/11 4:05:12.000 PM kernel: 1276.629206: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 14 (2484Mhz) flags 0xa0 hal status 12
 
At 10.7.1
No disconnections.
No problem on battery or at AC power.
I patched my DSDT because AutoPactcher was not available at that moment.

Is working perfect for a couple months so I did not want to mess around with it, and I have installed the kexts before you start the packages with the installer.
Thats why I did not update bios or the kexts or the bootloader.

EDIT: My bios version is F.09

I switched today from AC to battery and lost my internet connection after 1 minute.
I checked my network properties immediately and was still connected to my Access Point.
I switched tabs do DNS servers and all were greyed out.

Turning Wi-Fi off and on from the status bar fixed the problem for me.

Any ideas?

Is anyone on 10.7.2 with no problems with wifi?

Wish I could help. I haven't updated to 10.7.2 yet because of some of the complaints/issues people have been running into.
 
Well, is about time YOU got something breaking on your system, Mr. Perfect. :p

I'm on 10.7.2 with no apparent wifi problems... I have it running this very moment on battery, streaming google music just for the kicks .

I'm attaching my extra. Let me know if I can do anything to help, brother. I have a clone of my system on a spare partition just to break! :)

Can I see your IO80211Family.kext please? It's vanilla? Or the patched one?
 
Sure thing... here it is...

as far as I know, came from your guide.

Shoot then I don't need it. It just happened once to me on power.

EDIT: People with problems, replace your kext with electron shapers. See if it works. It is a vanilla one.

edit 2: I take it back, it may not be vanilla. I'm tired so I'm not checking though.
 
I am on 10.7.2 + pack 2.5.1. WiFi is working and after the 10.7.2 upgrade I have no KP when trying to wake up from sleep. I can go to sleep on AC and wake up on battery now. Most of the time I do not turn the commuter off, just close the lid.

My 4530 is i3 based, has 320 drive swapped for 750Gb Hitachi with 4k sectors (required manual installation of boot0 as I described long time ago when the subject had 60 something pages) and HD3000 only graphics.
