D-link wireless usb adapter

Ok apparently the d-link DWL- G122 doesen't come with mac os x drivers...
but i heard that using the drivers from Ralink Technology 2500 series will allow the d-link to operate in osx... i have downloaded all the mac drivers ralink has for that series and my mac still does not recognize that the USB dongle is even attached to the computer....

Any help here?

Go to the Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info...

Click the Hardware menu, find USB, see if the adapter is even reconized.

If it is, Go to the Network settings and see if your adapter showed up there, then you can configure it...

Granted this is something you probually already have done, but will give us a better idea what you mean by its not even reconized.

I'll go do some more searching.

yeh ok genius i pretty much didn't need to read that. cuz i've installed the drivers w/o reading the manual
first of all mine is a G122 not a 122, it did not come with PC drivers... so i tried the method of installing the other drivers, didn't work, found the mac os x one.. installed.. restarted, properly plugged, not recognized on the system....

Sorry, but this is what mostly comes out of "i heard that...". There is only one dlink wifi usb dongle that is supported by panther: DWL-122.
Now, either you give it back to the seller and get the slower DWL-122 or think of another solution to get wireless. Check out this link. Works fine with my DWL G650 and the tibook.
