For those with the unibody MacBook, you'll need to hit software update twice. The first one will install the EFI update and the 2nd the SMC update.

I found I had to run a couple times to get both updates.

For the first time since I got it, my Powerbook awakened from sleep this morning. Quite a refreshing change!

Update: OMG did I say Powerbook?
