simonfl Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm trying everything and just got the adapter working once, but after some updates he restarted and now it's back to nothing. He keeps saying No Device! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePlane Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Is the driver dead? I can't seem to download it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polle58 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I also struggled to get htis working under kalyway 10.5.1 but now it works, installed the rakis packages mentioned above, but still no connection. I deleted in the network preference pane the entry for my wired nic, after that I inmediatly received configuration questions for the usb networkcard (dedected as an ethernet entry), I choosed for manual ip address and wireless was working afterwards without problems (no nedd to boot with -f or anything else) didn't try untill now if replug is necesary, always pulled in the usb stick after everything was booted cometely, will test further on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peejay Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just a description of my experiences with this adapter. I installed the 10.4 drivers that are located on the D-Link install cd on my 10.5 system. Wifi works, had to add a new ethernet interface in system preferences. However, I had to plug it in after each boot, otherwise it would not work. Then I messed about a bit with some home made drivers and replug fixes I found on this forum. Didn't solve a thing. But now I noticed there are new drivers from Ralink (manufacturer of the chipset in this usb stick) for Leopard! The catch is that they'r only available on their Taiwanese site :-) . Here they are: http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/Home/Support/Macintosh.html (get the second usb package) No problems at all anymore. Pity there's no airport menu, though.

peejay Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Okay. Seems I was a bit too optimistic. The driver gives me kernel panics from time to time. Using the latest driver from the Taiwanese ralink site. Really annoying. Might ditch this stick and look for a compeletely compatible one (which is hard to find, with all these contradicting statements on this forum).

Mushishi Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 i did an D-Link driver pgk with all the wireless drivers that D-Link did release, there are drivers for these cards: DWA-111 DWA-140 DWL-G122 (H/W: C1) DWL-G510 (The ones using Ralink chip, i belive it is the C version, but we only sell one H/W version here in Denmark/Sweden/Norway/Finland and that is the version i too the drivers for) The drivers are the ones i got from oure dev team, beside the DWL-G510 where i took the ralink driver that shoud match the chip.

esculap Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 i got my DWL-G122 revC1 working with Ralink (currently running the latest version) today i found out something thriling: if i start my osx in safe mode (-x), i don't have to replug the dongle - so there's hope this gets us to a device detection problem, actually something shi*ty (not) happening there any1 can reproduce this behaviour? also, any1 can post any hint on where to get from here?

iphonefreak Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Does anyone has drivers for DWL-G122 revD? I've checked from windows that the chipset is Marvell, unlike the previous rev where ralink manufacture them. Someone help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack oey Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yes , but be carefull , don't upgrade to 10.5.4 , because after you update, you can not connect anymore, even you unplug and replug the usb dongle, leo can not recognize the dongle. the usb dongle can connect if you boot with -x option. Regards, Jack Oey Gotcha! It works! My DWL-G122 C1 works with Leopard 1.5.1! After a long day of testing.... I installed 1. Info - RTUSB D2870-1.0.1.0b_D71w-1.1.7.0c_D2500-1.1.3.0 UI-1.4.8.0_2007_11_26.dmg 2. Info - Ralink Wireless Drivers Installation Wizard.mpkg.zip 3. Info - ralinkv015.zip After installing, i followed the instroctution of the installer: 1. Repair the permission 2. reboot and start with boot option "-f" 3. Have Fun. is it running well with leo 10.5.4 ? Regards, jack Oey Forget it guys, this piece of adapter is going right back to the drawer.I bought myself today a TP-Link TL-WN650G PCI adapter and not only does it work but it is recognized as AirPort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkiuls Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Big thanks to everybody on this forum for figuring this out! I was in a bit of a pinch, in need of a wireless dongle for my box before I went to uni I used this driver (DWL_G122.zip) and after a restart, using the new ethernet port it created I manually set myself an IP and entered my router's IP in [system Prefs > Network] and it worked fine. It gets really good signal, I'm at 99% a lot of the time and it never drops below 75% (1 floor difference between myself and the router) Again, thanks guys! - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comrad Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Using this DMG (link is on the 1st page on the bottom - member treamy) RTUSB D2870-1-1.0.1.0b_D71w-1.1.7.0c_D2500-1.1.3.0 UI-1.4.8.0_2007_11_26.dmg (in my Intel box running Kalyway 10.5.5 --- more in my signature) the dongle DWL-G122 Rev C1 Ver 3.10 runs very well! This reply I write while connected thru that dongle... btw: Hi nkiuls! Your DWL_G122.zip works on my box too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WzC Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Does anyone use this adapter at a high load ? I bought one last week; currently using the stock drivers which were on the CD-rom: version 3.10. It connects fine and when using it for just webbrowsing, mailing etc I have no problems with it (currently posting this with the adapter). However when I try and stream video from a network drive (connected through NFS) my system locks up at random times. Does anyone else have this sort of problem with the adapter under high load ? If not what drivers are you using ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M J Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Gotcha! It works! My DWL-G122 C1 works with Leopard 1.5.1! After a long day of testing.... I installed 1. Info - RTUSB D2870-1.0.1.0b_D71w-1.1.7.0c_D2500-1.1.3.0 UI-1.4.8.0_2007_11_26.dmg 2. Info - Ralink Wireless Drivers Installation Wizard.mpkg.zip 3. Info - ralinkv015.zip After installing, i followed the instroctution of the installer: 1. Repair the permission 2. reboot and start with boot option "-f" 3. Have Fun. If you are booting with the Boot from EFI Partition Method, or a Boot-132 disc or similar, there is an easy way to avoid both the plug/unplug and the use of "-f" boot option. After installing, go to System Profiler > Extensions, and look for an extension named RT73USBWirelessDriver or RT2500USBWirelessDriver or something similar. Just copy that extension to your Extension folder in the EFI partition or in the initrd.img of the Boot-132 disc and you are set! Let me know if it works for you as well.

M J Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Some interesting info: the RT73 version, which is the one that comes with the USB Stick from D-Link, seems to cause kernel panics quite often, especially if used with torrent clients and such. I'm going to uninstall it and install Relink drivers instead (i.e. RT71) and see what happens. This seems like a common issue and it has to do with a poorly written driver. Another thing: the G122 does NOT use the RT2500, so you can delete it from your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengstapo Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Is there any solution for G-122 rev. C1 running on Snow Leopard? In Leopard its working fine. I tried the Leopard driver but seems no working. Any fix? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
