the tutorial below DOES work!

 

tried everything but manually loading kext in terminal.. :)

well, did it and the damn thing woke-up!

then used Lingon to create a damon and automatically load it at start-up..

 

enjoy!

 

 

Guys,

 

Got the Hawking HWUG1A after long reading and comparisons, so I could have mobility with my HP laptop (yes, I have Intel 3945A/B/G...).

I followed a couple tutorials on making this device work - AND IT DID - for a couple hours...

After the first reboot, I was never able to make it work again... :(

 

This is the procedure I followed, found on a Japanese website (edited data in BOLD):

  • Download 1.1.7.0c_D2500 by RTUSB D2870-1.0.1.0b_D71w-1.71.3.0 UI-1.4.8.0_2007_11_26.dmg

$ sudo -s

password:....

# cd /System/Library/Extensions/

# cd RT73USBWirelessDriver.kext/

# cd Contents/

# vi Info.plist

......

<key>IOKitPersonalities</key>

<dict>

<key>
Hawking
</key>

<dict>

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

<string>com.Ralink.driver.RT73</string>

<key>IOClass</key>

<string>RT2573USBWirelessDriver</string>

<key>IOProviderClass</key>

<string>IOUSBDevice</string>

<key>bcdDevice</key>

<integer>1</integer>

<key>idProduct</key>

<integer>
9587
</integer>

<key>idVendor</key>

<integer>
5263
</integer>

</dict>

.......

 

Then run the utility network, Ethernet

 

Press + Ethernet third added, and rename service in wifi.

Finally disk utility to repair permissions and restarting.

Why restart when - not recognized f you do not enter!

Boot - is in. com.apple.Boot.plist f vi to edit.

# sudo -s # Sudo-s

# vi /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist # Vi / Library / Preferences / SystemConfiguration / com.apple.Boot.plist

....

<key>Kernel Flags</key> <key> Kernel Flags </ key>

<string> - f </string> <string> - F </ string>

....

USBWirelessUtility start and so will automatically launch the WEP key and to register.

 

Then I reformated and reinstalled Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD, this time enabling the Rallink 25xxx drivers/ kexts.

I thought it would work instantly after enabling USB, but nothing.

Installed the 1.1.7.0c_D2500 by RTUSB D2870-1.0.1.0b_D71w-1.71.3.0 UI-1.4.8.0_2007_11_26.dmg and did the same process all over again.

Nothing works...

 

Anybody gone through this, with Hawking or any other Ralink USB chip?

Pls I need suggestions!!

I can still return it to BestBuy and get a different one that DO work on 10.5.2...

 

Tks!!!
