Download the MacOS driver at the bottom of the web page.) 2. Run the uninstaller, especially if you've already tried stuff to get this thing to work. 3. Run the installer, and restart. Plug in the F5D7050. 4. Run System Profiler in /Applications/Utilities. Under "Hardware" Click on "USB". Find the device. It's probably "RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapter" or similar. Click on it. Record the exact name, the Product ID, and the Vendor ID. The file I uploaded here is the Info.plist installed by the installer above and I have edited the plist Section with the <key>Realtek RTL8187B</key> and changed <key>idProduct</key><integer>xxxxx</integer> to <integer>28766</integer> as well as <key>idVendor</key> <integer>xxxx</integer> to <integer>1293</integer> (just change the numbers... don't delete anything).Once you reboot, you will need to go into System Preferences -> Network and *if* everything is working, it will say it has detected a new interface. ftp://66.104.77.130/cn/wlan/87B_Mac10.4_v1117.zip After you're done setting that up [i think leaving it on DHCP and clicking OK was enough] you should get the Realtek Utility that you can use to do your wireless settings.http://www.realtek.com/ RTL8187Bt.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
