********* THIS IS HOW YOU GET THE LINKSYS WUSB600N WORKING IN OSX ***********

 

 

I actually had to get this working on my real mac pro because when i went to the apple store the morons at the genius bar wouldnt sell me the wifi card unless i let them install it, for a nominal fee of course. So f*ck them in the goat a$$, this is how you get it to work flawlessly:

 

1. Download and install WUSB600N (Panther, Tiger, Leopard RALINK RT2870)

2. Reboot your computer but DO NOT PUT IN THE CARD YET!!

3. Use textwrangler (free gui for editing kext files, google it you'll find it) and edit the following file: /System/Library/Extensions/RT2870USBWirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist

4. Search for "Linksys" change the integer line below from 112 to 113:

<integer>113</integer>

5. Close and save the file

6. open: /System/Library/Extensions/RT2870USBWirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Resources/Info.plist

Again, search for Linksys and change the integer line to be 0x0071:

<integer>0x0071</integer>

7. Close and save the file

8. Open terminal and run "sudo -s"

9. Clear out your kernel extension cache, run "kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions"

10. Reboot your computer and insert the card, you can now run /Applications/USBWirelessUtility and

configure the card. When I plugged mine in, it opened the utility automatically

 

Enjoy, hope this gets everyone on wireless N for cheap from radioshack, thats where i got mine, works great!

 

This is where I downloaded the driver (i used the top one, 2870):

This is all copied. Just I'd share it with you.
