Heya there,

has someone made some xp with this tiny beautiful dongle:

I would love to know if this one works ...

Thanks!

This works perfectly with 10.6.7.

It didn't for me. It throttled my connection down to about 15%.

I have ASUS-N10 Wireless USB Adaptor working on 10.6.3 using its own install CD..

Hi there. Have a question: which driver version are you getting on the CD ? In the HCL somebody mentions V 1.7.1, but I get 1.6.3- whoch does not work on my 10.6.7 system- can only find a russian page mentioning (probably) 1.7.1., but don't know how to download there (language). SO question is, is there an ASUS 1.7.1 driver for the n10 dongle ?

regards
Manfredo

Hi guys, anyone with TP-LINK TL-WN722N worked?

I've got a Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 and am running 10.6.8 here. I can't get it to run and have tried Rosewill's driver and Ralink's driver. Anyone have an idea how to make it work?

Just recieved Edimax EW-7711UTn (mini-USB)

works fine with drivers:
090420 (installs as 10.5)
100512 (installs as 10.6)

uses the ralink wirelessUSButility

you need to restart before you can use the device

supports WPA2-PSK

connection is at 20MHz but there is a way to get it to 40MHz (i'm still looking for this)

Hi,

I just bought a Nano USB wifi stick, with the chipset RT 5370 and I installed the Ralink USB utility. the installation was OK but after the reboot, the utility interface never shows up! So I don't know if my usb dongle works or not..

Do you have an idea? Can we use it with Airport?

Anyways, I also bought the original mini pci-e wifi card with the mini pci-e to pci-e converter and 2 antennas.

Make you're own... I built one of these for about $35.

After plugging it in, os x reported a native wifi card and the set up was flawless.

Hey Tony and others... who has gotten their USB dongle to show up as native AirPort?

I temporarily had a Dlink PCI-E Extreme N card which showed up as a native AirPort but I took it back due to case space constraints

I have ASUS-N10 Wireless USB Adaptor working on 10.6.3 using its own install CD..

I just got this and it's terrible. I could connect using it's software (it's doesn't use any of OSX built-in software - so no network preferences) and I get constant buffering on streaming video. Computer went to sleep and now it doesn't even work anymore. I'm returning this piece of crap tomorrow.
