Andrea Cimitan Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi guys, I'm interested in buying a wifi usb dongle compatible with MacOSx86. Of course it is preferable something that works out of the box or at least with a known supported driver. I've found three solutions on ebay (sorry for the first link, but I can't find the vendor homepage): http://cgi.ebay.it/Wireless-WiFi-USB-Adapt...%3A1|240%3A1318 http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.ph...1&pl2_id=44 and the Dlink g122 which is known to work (with an external driver or the builtin?). All of these seems to be based on ralink chipsets... but I don't trust 100% ebay's resellers. Do you have any experience? The first one is really cheap with shipping (18€), the other two are priced around 20-22€... though the edimax feels like the one with the strongest signal due to the antenna gain.
