rlf Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Coding a wireless driver for OSX is more challenging than it might at first seem. Very few of the chip vendors even try it. And the USB devices don't work with the built-in OSX Airport Wifi interface. They use a separate Wifi utility. What I would do is look at the other sellers of USB AC adapters and see if they have OSX drivers and see if one of them will do the job. Most of the sellers do not supply OSX drivers. One that does is EngeniusTech. I would grab the 10.8 driver from this page and see if it works: http://www.engeniustech.com/home-networking/usb-adapters/16745-eub1200ac If it doesn't work, they have an unistall script that you can run or you can manually remove the 3 components that get installed: /Applications/Wireless-AC Network Utility.app /Library/LaunchAgents/WlanAC.plist /System/Library/Extensions/RTL8812AU8.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
