DWL-G122 usb problem

[jalden81]

I've been looking thru many of these posts trying to figure out whats wrong with my DWL-G122 for my Mac g4 running OSX 10.4. It sounds like people have had similar issues, but everything I've tried hasn't worked. I had DWL-G122 version B1 for 2+ years that worked great with little or no connection drops (I used this driver: http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/ModelDocuView.asp?...ocuSno=IJLPCJIK ). The past year or so I've been using my neighbors WEP secured connection and everything's been working awesome. About a month ago the DWL USB died on me. I figured it was just kaput after a long life, so I purchased another..this time it was version C1. Once I got it and plugged it in its been nothing but problems. I downloaded the C1 driver with no luck, tried different chipsets..and the dongle still will not connect. I ended up sending back the C1 version and getting the B1 version again, with the same results. The device will show up in Network Prefs as an ethernet connection but there will be no signal or lights on from the device. It's like my computer forgot that this device works with it. I've uninstalled, deleted pref panes, re-installed, and tried many different combos with no wifi. I know the signal is there because my GF's laptop works great. Has anyone had similar problems and found a solution? Could it be something with the router that's seeing the device but not letting it connect? Thanks a lot for your help and please let me know any questions.
