Invisible Ink Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 USB D-Link DWL G122 works fine for me! Thanks everybody in this forum. I installed the last driver from Ralink (see url in previous post), open the Ralink utility from Applications, configured with parameters of my wireless network [Open WEP], then configured DHCP on interface found in Network config settings and ... IT WORKS!!! Next goals: 1) find a solution to my cable connection with RLT8139 (see: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=30399) 2) find a solution to work with built-in wireless Intel 2200BG ... Any suggestion will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathalos Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Invisible Ink, u r using DWL-G122 firmware B or firmware C? cos i am considering between 3 cards as i read through all the 13 pages of this thread. So far, only 3 cards work: ASUS WL-167G, Beklin F5D7050, DWL-G122 B and C. Which is the best usb wireless to get (ie least hassle)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicchicken Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi, Problem with Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54-AI. Downloaded latest Ralink drivers and installed went fine. Noticed that the Buffalo entry was already present in info.plist so didnt mod. rebooted and nothing....manually started ralink utility and list "No Devices". NOT GOOD. Checked system profile and I can see the buffalo on the usb port. Any ideas? anybody have success with buffalo? Any help you be appreciated!! Thanks, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicchicken Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Allo, well got the buffalo working and am having the same exact problem as puduska. Can connect to router but cant cruise the net. Can anybody help us? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 well got the buffalo working and am having the same exact problem as puduska. Can connect to router but cant cruise the net. Can anybody help us? In another post you said that your IP was 169.x.x.x Generally that IP is a default one taken by the device when it can't find anything to assign it an IP. So, I'm not so sure it is communicating with your router. The router would normally assign an IP of 192.x.x.x Nessus said: 3) Install the driver in Tiger before you plug in the device. 4) After reboot, plug in the wireless adapter and go to the network settings. And this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...post&p=7084 You also said the Buffalo "entry" was in the info.plist. Did you see the word "Buffalo" in the info.plist, or did you find your device id in the info.plist. Make sure your device id is in the plist. Also try this: Go to System Preferences -> Network -> Show -> Network Port Configurations -> New... -> Port -> Airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdg Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Allo, well got the buffalo working and am having the same exact problem as puduska. Can connect to router but cant cruise the net. Can anybody help us? Thanks! OK, this is going to sound odd to all, but here it goes anyway. I have the buffalo card in question and it always worked out of the box. I then decided to start OC'ing my PC. When I went into the BIOS I noticed that the default memory timings were DDR2 667 while my memory was DDR2 800; the default timings were 4-4-5-14 @ 1.84v, while my actual RAM is rated for 4-4-3-8 @ 2.2v. Naturally, the first thing I wanted to do was set my RAM for proper speed to see if there was any performance boost, so I made the settings and rebooted. A bit more pep on the reboot, but I noticed that it took longer to acquire the AP, and when I clicked on info there was a bit more latency than usual. I then tried to go out on the net, and na da. I looked at my properties and I had a self-assigned IP. So, I was seeing the AP, connecting to the AP, but I wasn't getting an IP address and manually setting it didn't fix things. I then went back in to the bios to change my Ram timings to 533 Mhz, and begin overclocking, and all was fine -- the wireless card worked flawlessly all the way up to 800 Mhz FSB. Net-net, I folled around with various settings (on and off) for two days, and came to the conclusion that I was getting the same exact error (see and connect to AP, but no IP address -- self-assigned 169.x.x.x) when I was using 800 Mhz FSB Ram setting and my native Ram timings. This might just be a conincidence, but thought I'd post here anyway. I don't have this issue anymore because I dropped the Ram settings to 533 Mhz, but then took the FSB up to nearly 400 Mhz, effectively increasing the Ram timings by 50% to nearly 800 Mhz. /mdg. PS. The moral of the story -- try going into your MoBo settings and change the Ram timings to 667 Mhz or 533 Mhz, and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osheill Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 For those of you who have the Belkin fd57050 version 3000 and have to unplug and plug the the thing to get it to be recognized I have a solution. It seems that os x 10.4.5 finds a generic driver for the usb wireless stick and caches it on shut down or restart.So when you boot or restart herwrong driver is loaded even though your belkin driver is there. I changed my com.apple.Boot.plist file found in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. I added the switch -f in between <string></string> line in between <key>Kernel Flags</key> and <key>Boot Graphics</key>. The -f clears the driver cache file before startup and the belkin driver is then loaded! No more unplugging and plugging! So now it looks like this. <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-f</string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanzella Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Dear Mr. Macnub, Could you please email this driver to me (RT71W Drivers dated 2006/04/07)? I got a G122 C1 also, thanks in advance! Henry Hi Guys, I picked up a DWL-G122 V.C1 and used the ralink RT71W Drivers dated 2006/04/07 Drv1.1.2.0 10.3.X ~ 10.4.X and it worked right away. The Wireless app works, Encryption and authentication work. I am right chuffed it was the only thing holding me back I've got an inspiron 6000.

ForestCat Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I can confirm that the Belkin F5D7050 v3 works on 10.4.7 w/ the Ralink "RTUSB D70-1.1.3.0 D71W-1.1.7.0 UI-1.3.0.0_2006_11_10.dmg" driver. I'm typing this on my Asus lappy from Safari connected to a Netgear WGR614 v5 router, with wpa encryption, hidden SSID & macaddress security enabled. Its not 100% stable, i.e. doesn't come up w/o replugging the dongle once, doesn't seem to play well w/ a wired connection plugged in, etc. But take heart, it will definitely work w/ a bit of patience. I modified _nothing_. Installed the package, rebooted, plugged in the dongle, futzed with the wireless utility a bit & connected. One note, if using wpa, the right key (not the passphrase) is critical. If you have access to a linux box or live cd w/ wpa_supplicant, there's a utility to generate the key from your passphrase. My router/AP doesn't show the key, I used another util I found online to generate a key, and it didn't work. The problem is that the Ralink utility will not actually _tell_ you that you have the wrong key. It will just act generally stupid, or crash in my case. I used the Linux generated key & it connected straightaway. HTH & Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
