Question for Mac users

[sylvar]

Is it possible to change the settings on a MacBook running a slightly older version of OS X so that when you close the lid, the AirPort will not power down? It's rather annoying to have to wait to reconnect to the local WLAN every time you open the lid again.

afaik, no way to do this elegantly. you may be able to kill the powersaving sleep stuff in the openboot firmware, but you're playing with black magic if you wander there too long.
