Airport constantly scanning

On my old powerbook pro running tiger my network was running fine and fast using my Airport extreme. But I just purchased a macbook pro and started up on 10.5.6 and the airport if constantly scanning even though it has full bars on my home airport. I have tried the following one at a time and together without success:

- changed the channel away from the neighbors
- changed to g only instead of b/g radio mode (older airport)
- increased the mbps rate
- interference robustness
– closed network

all without luck still scanning and still slower than a muddy river...

The only way the scanning stops and then only temporarily is by clicking on the airport drop down on the menu bar.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Anne
 
When ever you click on the menu item for Airport it ALWAYS goes through the "scanning" mode to show the user( you) the networks it sees. So it it is NOT always scanning. Now if you really want to see what networks your Mac REALLY sees download the donationware (that means it is free or it will take donations if you like it) iStumbler.
