I've already played with this.

Here's my post about it: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=170812

Perhaps you want to give it a go with those drivers.

 

The link to the driver download page obviously changed - try this one: http://152.104.125.41/downloads/downloadsV...;Downloads=true

The one at the bottom of the page should be the right one.

I have not tried getting it to work in macosx since I don't need it yet but I found a funny thing. Since it is on a usb bus, it can be enabled in parallels and made available to the operating system you have running in parallels. So it works for me in Windows on parallels but not in macosx.

 

In parallels, go to the "Devices" menu, down to "USB" and select "RTL8187_Wireless" then you can install windows drivers for it and get wireless networking from your windows virtual machine.

 

I wonder if you could then route your macosx network traffic via your windows vm so that your macosx can share the wireless?

 

Note that if you get a macosx driver working for the wireless, then the above parallels thing might not work because macosx will be using the device. That is my guess anyway.

Emailed them today, and they have finished the driver. They will be testing now, and will release at the end of the month. If they follow through, what a great Christmas present for us Asus users.

 

Dear Sir,

 

Thanks for your e-mail.

 

We already finish this program and begin test now.

 

We expected release it at end of this month.

 

Regards,

 

Fred

That is the powerpc only driver that was mentioned earlier in this thread and released in 2006. We are still waiting for the intel (or universal) version of this driver.
