Apple releases AirPort 2008-003... or does it?

Earlier today, Apple released AirPort 2008-003, an update for the wireless networking hardware built-in to various Macs. The update is now, however, nowhere to be found.

Regardless, at least a handful of MacFixIt readers have reported a lack of success in resolving wireless issues via this update. One reader writes:

"Lots of people, including myself, have had very intermittent wireless connections since upgrading to "AirPort Extreme update 2008-002" back in June. Apple finally acknowledges this by patching it with 'AirPort extreme update 2008-003' which came out today 10/21. Well guess what... I'm still having the same problem after the update. It may be a little bit better, but only a little. I've already trouble shot this with Applecare last week, and we confirmed it was not hardware related, but a software issue. This update was suppose to fix it, and in my case...it has not.

If you managed to sneak this update in before Apple pulled it, please let us know your thoughts.
