Linksys AE1000 USB adapter Works in Lion

[rmmcwh]

I initially followed instructions from InsanelyMac: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... pic=256937.

This did not work. So I guessed that the IDs were different that what I had read there and elsewhere. I looked in System Information to get the Product ID and Vendor ID. I then converted the HEX value to Decimal, and used those decimal values as the replacements using Text Wrangler to edit the plist file.. It worked!

Hi rmmcwh,
I have the cisco valet am10 and looking at xp drivers from the dongle it uses the same as ae1000.
u s b \ v i d _ 1 3 b 1 & p i d _ 0 0 2 f 0P+

‚7
B0@ H W I D 1

,u s b \ v i d _ 1 3 b 1 & p i d _ 0 0 3 1
so same vendor id 13b1 but ae1000 uses 002f and am10 uses 0031
What is the difference between the Valet connector (AM10) and the Linksys AE1000?
The Valet connector (AM10) and Linksys AE1000 serve the same purpose; however, the main difference is that the AM10 has a certain amount of memory allocated for storage while the AE1000 doesn’t. The storage facility on the AM10 is allocated for its installation software and drivers. It is not recommended that you use the storage facility for your personal files.
Would you please post the relevant edited section from info plist, so I can try playing with those numbers or the kext you are using and how did you install it. In my case for now only the hub and the mass drive are recognized as AM10, but not the wifi adapter
Big tks

Would you be able to expand at all on how you got this to work? I am a computer guy but pretty new to this whole scene. I have this adapter and would like to get it to work on mine. I am running Lion.

Edit: Got it working after a few tries.

Could you please post how you got it to work
I have the latest ralink drivers installed
Rtusb d2870 4.1.8.0

Found my prod Id - c517 and vender I'd -046d
Converted both from hex to decimal
Prod I'd - 50455 vender Id - 1133

Edit in info.plist via RT2870USBWirelessdriver.kext
S/L/E
Then repaired permissions
Reboot, plugged in dongle and nothing..
Am I missing something?

EDIT-
After a few more tries it worked, thanks
