Disclaimer: The WUSB54GC is a different product than the WUSB54GCS (the one with speedbooster), so if you're buying one based on this driver you should make sure it's the standard model. All current versions, 1-3, are supported. 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard) has been reported working. This version was uploaded on February 1st, 2010 and will be referred to as the "February" versions.

Directions:
Simply download the appropriate file (according to your OS version) and unzip it (will probably be done automatically). Open the folder so that you see the "Applications", "Library", and "System" folders. Then open up another Finder window and go to the root (beginning) of your hard drive. Now just copy over those three folders to the root. Expect to be prompted for your login. You may have to open up System Profiler, click on "Network" and hit apply for the card to connect. Remember that you also much use the "USBWirelessUtility" application to set up your connection and that you must start that every time you restart your computer. I recommend right clicking on its dock icon and checking "Open at Login". If you have any problems don't hesitate to ask for help.

I'm going to put up a donation link soon, so please consider a small donation when that happens.

If those kext installation apps don't support your computer (ie, you have a PPC (G3, G4, G5) or are running 10.4), you can follow these instructions:

Put the kext file(s) in /System/Library/Extensions/
Open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities) and set right permissions on kext by entering
CODE
sudo chmod -R 755 nameof.kext
    sudo chown -R  root:wheel nameof.kext
    sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

Delete extensions.mkext in /System/Library/
Repair permissions with Disk Utility and reboot
