First off you need to download and install zydas.

Then your restart your pc and when you come up go in to system/library/extentions/ and edit zd1211 and zd1215 with nano and add your vendor id and product id which you can get from system profiler. After you edit both of them restart and then go in to Network Preferences and it will detect it. If not, backup IO82011 and delete the original and restart, then it should work.

Thanks for posting the driver, this works for the ZyXEL AG-225H too. I had bought the dongle for its OS X drivers, but the included ones didn't work and neither did the ones on the ZyXEL site so I gave up on it. 3 months later, I found your post and installed these drivers, it works perfectly. I got lucky on my Hackintosh and only thing I had to do was run the pkg file.

Sorry to open an old post but this really saved me from a lot of hassle. Now I'm connected through internet using my zydas adapter on my thinkpad r51. Awesome work.

Hi nickhe,

I use wi-fire from hfield and I use a real MacBook with intel core 2 duo.
I've found the .kext with the vendor and product id in /sys/lib/extensions for both zd1211 and zd1215 but they are present in various child see pic here http://yfrog.com/0fpicture3isjp

And they are in decimal format whereas the info displayed in system profiler is in hexa see pic there http://yfrog.com/0fpicture2vxbp

So what do we have to do exactly to get this driver working?

nb:

I've the original wi-fire driver but it's quite cumbersome, slow, buggy so I'm trying alternative.
I've installed the wlan.app app and it runs but don't find any router and I suppose that's why I need to change the id, but I don't know how to.

Thanks to explain with pictures.

E.

Hi

I messed around for 5 hrs and got it working for 5 minutes, I got on the internet without Ethernet! Then computer overheated and crashed. So now everytime I inserts the USB the mac tells me to push the power button and restart... When I leave the USB in and try to start, the computer doesn't start... heelp..

thanks

Should I replace each "idProduct" and "idVendor" by numbers?
