muchlife Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 i have the airlink driver with the airlink 101 (RTL8188SU) and works great in 10.5. i've heard you can use this airlink driver for any USB wireless that has the same chipset on airlink website, it says this driver supports 10.4 - 10.5 - 10.6 http://rapidshare.com/files/415480962/AIRL...rivers.zip.html (try this one first, just the driver) http://rapidshare.com/files/415480921/AWLL...tility.zip.html (try this 2nd, drive+airlink utility but not sure utility will work if its not exact airlink model) neither above work, try this generic realtek driver for RTL8188SU http://www.mediafire.com/?ylyykmmtzdm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webmeist Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 hey all. my first post here. i found this topic while searching for my wireless card. I just bought an old powermac g5 Dual tower. With Tiger still so far... i am trying to install a generic Realtek antenna, this one is where I got the drivers at: http://www.realtek.com/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=228 I seem to have gotten it to install, as the radio sees various wireless sources, and at first it connected very slowly but now seems to not at all. When I first boot up the computer there is a message "Please enable the WLAN card in the Network item of System Preferences." But it does register like 95-100% Signal strength. Is there something I'm missing? I've attached two pics of these situations. Thanks so much for any help... Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
