Excessive Airport Scanning after 10.5.2

After installing 10.5.2 I'm noticing that if I click on Airport icon it indicates that it's scanning briefly and then stops. Is this a bug with 10.5.2? Unplugging my Airport Express briefly didn't seem to do anything.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

SAME FOR ME!!! Don't know if it has something to do with 10.5.2 but suddenly it is scanning all the time. ...active/scanning/active/scanning... loses connection all the time! Recognized it via Airtunes, because it suddenly drops out after around 20 seconds constantly. Already did every possible reset of my airport express. Actually I think the problem is macbook's airport card, because the green light of Express is alway on. Please help!!! This is really annoying...!

This is true for me also. I cannot speak whether it was the update to 10.5.2, but my MacBook Pro is constantly scanning and occasionally dropping WiFi.

This occurs regardless of the multi-cast rate which I set on my Airport Extreme base station. I also enabled Interference Robustness on the base station, but this changes nothing.

I hope an Apple Tech comments soon.
