Foxic Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 No. Unless the drivers have been written for, or ported to OS X, they will not work.

naf456 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Get Out. No, ofcourse not. It's like fitting a square peg into a triangle shaped hole - they just don't fit. However Linux is like a Hexagonal shaped peg, will mac OS X is a Circular shaped hole - A little trimming and they could possibly just fit. Linux and mac are both unix based operating systems (Funny, Cos Mac Boasted about not being Unix based :/) So there are simularities in the operating systems, down to the Shell (They both use bash.) You will however need the sources for the linux drivers, which should be opensource, but arn't always so. Good luck with what ever your trying to do Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/276480-is-there-any-way-to-use-pc-or-linux-drivers-on-lion/#findComment-1802113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
