Hi, i got iDeneb 1.6 installed, the only thing that doesn't work is sleep and wifi, which you probably know.

Anyways, I was thinking, is it possible, instead of buying a new Wifi Card, to use one theese instead?

I am not sure about those specific models, but I know there are some USB wifi adaptors that have OS X software available. I am using a "Trendnet" branded one from Costco. Inside it uses Ralink hardware, and I have been using the latest ralink driver with 10.6.4 without too much trouble. You might need to search around a bit to find one with OS X software.

thanks for your reply, is there some specific brands I have to look for, and how do I know if it would work with my iDeneb?

EDIT: This says it is usable for MAC OS X. And if i get this right I dont have to replace my wireless cars inside my pc, and with this one I can connect to my wireless network at home, at school etc. it comes with drivers, but can a Hackintosh use original drivers?

Yes if it has OS X drivers, you can just install them like a regular Mac. As long as your hackintosh install is working properly, it should "just work". If there is a PC adapter that is not recognized in OS X, it should not matter.

 

BTW- gotta love the Google translation of the Danish description: "Delicious small USB adapter...", which seems to imply you can eat the adapter as a snack if all else fails.
