Trendnet 424UB V3 64 bit drivers

[cowhelmet]

Has anyone been able to find a driver that works for this USB Wireless Dongle? The drivers which have successfully worked on my 10.5.8 build are no longer functional in 10.6.2.

 

The trendnet uses the 8187B realtek chip.

 

Currently I am using a linksys PCI NIC but this is only a temporary solution. The card uses a realtek 8169s driver for 10.5, but I get the infamous self-assigned IP address problem after about a half hour of heavy use.

 

Just a side note I tried the solution of editing the plist and changing the last 4 lines of the code to all nines, but I can't get my machine to boot into 32 bit mode with either the -x32 or arch=i386, to see if this initializes the dongle. It will continually boot into 64 bit no matter what I try.

 

Specs:

Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Asus P5N-D

NForce 750i Chipset

Quad Core q9550

4 gig of ram (I heard removing 2 sticks will increase the potential drop out of network, would like to avoid this)

Nvidia GTX 260
