Major internet sharing bug - Leopard

Not sure how to 'report this' to Apple but I found (what I think is) a major bug in internet sharing.



I set up my macbook pro to share my ethernet connection through wireless. Worked great.



However, I forgot it was on. I shutdown my machine, unplugged the ethernet cable and went out to the patio with my macbook and turned it back on expecting to use the aiport.



Here's the bug: it is completely impossible to use your airport or change the settings back to use wireless UNLESS you plug in an ACTIVE ethernet cable first. Your airport is completely locked out. No settings are available to undo and you can't connect to any wireless at all since it is still in sharing mode. You HAVE to have an active ethernet cable.



Good thing I didn't leave the house and try to use it.



Very lame Apple.
