The iMac is Wired
I have given up for now trying to get the wireless on the iMac to be stable. Of course the problems might be related to my access point (standard Linksys WRT45G), the distance from the machine to the access point, hardware issue, or radio interference of some kind. Of course my Ubuntu box is sitting right next to the Mac and having no problems so I don't really believe the problems have anything to do with anything but the Mac itself. So for now I've hardwired the Mac to the network so I can get some work done.
Next steps are to wait for the next Leopard update (I hear it's coming out soon). If that doesn't work, I will give Apple customer support a spin to see if it's as good as folks claim. If those two things don't work I might try a different access point. I know folks who have the NetGear RangeMax and have had good success, maybe I'll try one of those. So disappointing...
