thanks you first, macgirl !

Well, yesterday I tested the Linksys USB200M with complete success, no failures, it worked flawlessly on the nForce MoBo.

Confirm that Trendnet TU2-ET100 usb to ethernet adapter work without any drivers on 10.5.2.

Another confirmation this works perfectly!

[muitommy]

thanks macgirl, this is one of the useful infos.
btw, have you ever encountered any problems for the networks on nforce mobo?

[macgirl]

Yes, when I used the Nvidia onboard adapter, but that was on Windows (some monts befor first OSx86), when I switch to the Marvell (also onboard) all was fixed.

So when 10.4.1 came out I have several 8139 generic cards (all with no brand) and one SMC 1211tx (8139 compatible) and one SMC 1255 (that does not work on Mac OS), then I bougth a Gicabit Realtek (8169) and use it, I don't remember when I switched but when the First Mac Intel was released the Marvell Yukon was recognized, so I never tried the Forcedeth kext.

Spent a bit of extra money, but bought the Macbook Air usb > ethernet adapter. Guy in Apple Store SWORE it would not work, man was he wrong.

I plugged it in and it recognized it instantly.

[macgirl]

THe Apple USB Ethernet works great for 680i, no freeze anymore!
but there're some mouse lag sometimes, if someone knows how to solve this,
please share a bit, thanks.

[macgirl]

If your mouse is an USB this is kind of undertandable because they share the USB bus bandwidth.

Try to put the USB mouse in another port (different "intenal" hub).

[muitommy]

hmm, lag would happen even if use little bandwidth ...
changing the port doesn't help much at this point, but thanks!

now i'm trying to get ps2 working for setup,
macgirl, could u advice me a bit cus i'm getting some errors ..

So the Apple USB Wireless Ethernet works perfectly for wireless internet on 10.5.2?

[macgirl]

There are no such "Apple USB Wireless Ethernet", ther is jus one USB to Ethernet adapter. WIRED

[bsuppenbach64]

I have Kalaway 10.5.2 Install on A Gigabyte DS3l Motherboard and onboard Lan works spotty so I purchased the Apple usb ethernet adapter, but it will not recognize the adapter. I checked my IOfamily kext to make sure the UsbGigabit kext was there. It was but still can't get the network to see the adapter. It is in the usb info under High speed bus, but that's it. Any Ideas? Sorry have not updated my sig.

The build-in 8139 ethernet in my Acer laptop works perfectly... but it´s only 100mbit...

I need a gigabit ethernet connection, to be able to use my laptop as a node for Logic Studio.

Isn´t it impossible to get a proper gigabit connection through a USB2 ethernet dongle?

[macgirl]

Yes it is possible, but USB 2.0 max speed is 480Mbit/s so there is some banndwidth wasted. and if you have other devices in the USB bus you could have even less bandwidth.

Exactly... that´s what I thought, the USB limits the bandwidth.
In that case I can as well just link the machines together through firewire, I guess..?
