Tush Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Because there was not available a working rt2500 usb driver for 10.4.4 on ralinktech's website, I wrote to them, and asked for one. So they sent it to me. A couple of guys from this forum tested it, and it worked fine for them too, so I decided to post it. / a readme file also included/ Feedback is appreciated!

bigp2 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Seems to work for me. The installer gave an error saying it couldn't do something, but the kext was installed and had the right dev/vendor id for my D-Link G122. I'm using it right now to connect.

slowdiver Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 if you have problems after boot (always plug out and replug) someone has the ultimate answer - a new kext: http://mitglied.lycos.de/thomsmac/ enjoy.

Thor Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Thanks for reply, I am using 10.4.3 If I get info on IONetworkingFamily.kext it says v.1.5.0 Perhaps I have version of the Belkin F5D7050 that does not work ? How can I tell if it is v3000 that is supposed not to work.

How can I tell if it is v3000 that is supposed not to work. My IONetworkingFamily is the same.v.1.5.0. So I think you dont have the Belkin which works.

Yes I am afraid so,tryed io from 10.4.4 with the same result. Perhaps I should just try to find the gigabyte gn-wbkg usb stick Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11478-working-rt2500-usb-driver-for-1044-and-1045/#findComment-74129 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should just try to find the gigabyte gn-wbkg usb stick Update: Gave up on the Belkin and bought Asus wl-167g, verifyed the info list to see that the id's where there. Pluged it in and it worked out of the box with this driver. Thanks tush.
