Sirocco Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I finally tried those drivers (2005 09 14) yesterday and so far so good ! Last thing I need for a full working OS is graphic drivers.

TribesMan Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Hello everyone... i cant tell you how happy i am today! Working wireless on my IBM T42!!! Thank You Ralink! :> I'm using Canyon Wireless PCMCIA adapter based on RT2500 chipset (cheapest piece of {censored} i could find :>). I just installed the drivers and it worked right from the start. After I start Ralink Wireless Utility it gives me the list of all available wireless networks, then i just entered preshared key for my home connection and voila! There are two small problems tho... If i insert PCMCIA card in lower slot on my T42 system wont boot. In the upper one it works without any problems. Second problem is standby. If system goes off to standby wireless wont work after system comes out of standby. Only thing you can do is to restart the OS X. Aside from this two small problems it is working like a charm... Good work Ralink! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2142-ralink-rt2500-chipset-pci-beta-driver/page/2/#findComment-18700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TribesMan Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I took two screenshots... for evidence :> On Picture 2 you can see iTunes Radio playing over wireless ethernet, and MSN Messenger is also working just fine...

tekno Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 So anyone tested something like this on 10.4.3 yet? wont work anymore on 10.4.3 worked before on 10.4.1 Think that we have to wait for a new revision for 10.4.3 P.L.U.R Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2142-ralink-rt2500-chipset-pci-beta-driver/page/2/#findComment-30169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 The ABI has changed at least once anyway. Once I get things reinstalled I will email and ask. They shouldn't have to do much more than recompile it to use the new ABI think/hope.

cyrana Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I already answered, sorta. They have to recompile the drivers under 10.4.3, anyone is free to email them this request. I've not done so yet, since my 945G system has an unsupported video card so I'm not using it so much, and my 915G system obviously works fine.

cyrana Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thanks, great work. Might want to put the file on rapidupload.com or rapidshare.de to save your bandwidth. I'll maybe try this tonight on my MSI Card with RT2500 on it.

Theios Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Link is dead. I don't suppose we could get a repost could we? Edit: ok, maybe I'm just dumb, heh. Copy/Paste the url instead of just clicking the link.

mdcone Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) I just got a Belkin (RaLink 2500) PCMCIA card for my IBM R50 and downloaded the updated driver for 10.4.1 from this thread. The card works great, it connects with WPA, WEP, whatever just fine. HOWEVER, it randomly causes two things: 1. Computer totally locks up 2. Computer halts and reboots You guys have any ideas? - Dylan Nevermind this - turns out my motherboard was going TU. I swapped my harddrive with another laptop and it works just perfectly.

iampivot Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I've installed the USB driver dated Nov 29th on a 8f1111 10.4.3 installation (Thinkpad T30), but it doesn't work. The kext is not loaded automatically, and even after loading it manually, the utility program doesn't detect there's a driver / usb stick present. I can see the usb stick present in the systems diagnostics.

Mark Roth Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Thanks to cicciolo! I can report that I am using 10.4.3 8f1099 and that the Linksys 54G (v4) works great with the driver you provided for the RT2500 chipset!

iampivot Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Just found out that my USB stick (Cnet CWD-854) needs the RT71w driver, which is PowerPC only. Will try to email them to see if they can provide and Intel compiled version of that driver.

Mark Roth Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Curious though, anyone know how to make it load the way airport drivers do? Mine waits til after the login screen and then jumps on the first network it can find, then changes to the network I chose, but also pops up that RT2500 driver program which I then have to close after it picks the right network. I looked for it under startup items, and it doesn't even show. Any ideas? I'd like to make it a little cleaner (although finally having wireless is fabulous!)
