Hi!

 

I had tough time making my Atheros AR956X  WIFI card to work on my Asus X556U, so i bought a Ralink usb adapter with 150mbs speed.

 

I installed the driver which was labeled to work for OSX 10.5, but the USB adapter is not detected even by the dedicated app from Ralink.

 

 

i attached the gen_debug output, please help.

 

Thank you.

The drivers from mediatek, didn't work. I installed those and still have the same problems, i can see Ralink in the menu bar but clicking on it i only get the option to open wireless utility which doesn't open when clicking it. 

 

i attached the usb device information from my sysinfo. 

 

I don't know exactly how this work, but i need it to. can you help ?

:whistle: Doh! You could have started with that, because that's an MT7601 chip, not RT5370... Look for the relevant driver at the same place provided by c.frio.

I couldn't find any drivers for macOs, mediatek only have windows drivers for MT7601. i tried to install drivers for MT7612 ( the only ones available for mac ). it didn't bring any results other than the wireless utility not opening and the usb dongle not working.

 

 i found a post on tonymac but the link they gave for El Capitan drivers which are supposed to run okey on sierra is not available anymore.
