Linksys WUSB54G USB adapter and 10.4.6

[bmcgonag]

Yeah, sorry,

I just found today during a re-install on a different drive, that it was actually a combination of the RT2500, Replug2500 and RT71W drivers, along with the fixes above that made it work. Not sure why, but once I did that it started working.

Also,setup the RT2500 replug file as directed, and the device will start automatically on reboot instead of having to unplug, replug each time. I don't know why the addition of the RT71W drivers worked for me, but it did.

Good luck,

Mac

You can get the latest drivers that do work on Mac OS X 10.4.7 Tiger at http://www.factman.com/USB_Wireless_Installer.dmg

This driver came today 7/20/06 direct from the Ralink engineer, and it for sure works.

Further, if you are looking for the longest range wifi connection for your mac, go with the usb antenna/Ralink card combo (there are different sizes antennas, but same 802.11g card from this guy in Canada found at:

http://stores.ebay.com/Wireless-Online-Depot

I'm bought the 4 inch square usb version for under $100 (28dbm) and the larger 14 x 15 inch version (38dbm) at about $120.

My new MacBook Pro has the smaller Expresscard/34 slot, which is useless for wifi, since there are no cards available yet. The above Superpass antenna/cards (http://www.superpass.com/Superusb.html) are definitely the way to go for Mac. They are convenient, portable, and have the high output usb radio card built inside the antenna box. Neat!
