Ok... maybe somebody here can help. For a couple months my MBP kept getting kernel panics shortly after the computer started from sleep. I talked to AppleCare, and they did some things, but recommended reinstalling OS X if it didn't fix it. I did that, and for a few weeks it has worked great - no problems whatsoever.

Then today, out of the blue it happened twice in a row. Every time it's happened i've had wireless and bluetooth on. Anybody have any ideas (no, it's not a RAM problem according to Apple.)

Here is the log, if anybody understands it.

near as i can tell it looks like a BT issue. but i could be wrong.

nope... i've used a BT mighty mouse and apple keyboard since the day i got it. it only seems to happen when i'm using the mouse, and i've noticed that the connection from mouse to computer seems to be taking exceptionally long sometimes - to the point of restarting BT and the mouse.

usually it's when i've gone into another room with my laptop - far enough away from my mouse that it can't connect.

but, it's now happened 5 times today. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!
 
A hardware problem is likely. If the Mac is still under warranty let Apple deal with it.

Yeah, I called AppleCare today and I am sending it in tomorrow. I don't know if I can live without my computer... yikes!

Of course... there's always that possibility that they replace it with one of those new MBP's. I wouldn't complain about that.
