LVNeptune Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 This thread got way too long. I don't want to read it all...What happened to the OP's drivers and application? Do those not work on 10.5.2 ??

Do those not work on 10.5.2 ?? What can I do to get my WUSB54GC working? It's not too long unless you're lazy. You can't develop a real sense of the state of the effort unless you read every post. About half of them are useless so it doesn't take that long to read. The USB drivers work on all 10.5.x kernels as far as I know. Many people point to the Ralink Taiwan website which has Leopard downloads, but the Leopard drivers for rt2500 PCI cards are broken and they have been broken since they were released in March. Saying you have a "WUSB54GC" isn't getting it done in terms of figuring out what you need. If you think this thread is too long, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Guest BuildSmart Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 If the source for these drivers were available I could probably fix the issues that everyone is experiencing with these drivers.

ruckus328 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Belkin F5D7050B (Ralink 2xxx Chipset) on Leopard 10.5.2 Can anyone that doens't mind helping a noob give me a straight, step-by-step answer/walkthrough from start to finish on this?? I've been going through the forums for 2 days and it seems like many have gotten it to work, but I can't for the life of me. Yes, I've been to ralink's site but I am unclear on exactly which drivers I need (MAC, Linux, Which version?), and then where to go from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! thought.... or if anyone can recommend a good pci or usb wireless device that has some plug and play support in Leopard (ie... just install included disk and go...... no patching, no cracking, no kext editing, no high blood pressure, no six packs to calm down, no holes in the wall from loss of temper, etc.......) I just want to get online.........

user01100 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hey guys, One of the beauty of Open Source Drivers that it would work just about any platform. Thats the beauty of Ralink Drivers [RT2500-USB]. It works on Linux , MacOS X and of course on Windows. But there were few problems on the MacOS X port , particularly on hackintohses . Certainly it had some good stuff , enabled us to connect to Wireless Networks , but then the GUI was sort of crippled and it lacked the 'Airport' thingy , the cooling icon. So what I did was to modify the GUI , the driver and added RT2500Replug so that all these issues would be fixed and we could enjoy a better Driver !. Features :- 1. A New Makeover The USB now comes with new makeover. Now I have fixed some of the problems in the GUI and edited the menu preferences [removed all the unwanted stuff such as preferences] and I also have changed the Icons and the application Icon to be like OSX Style [a la Airport/OSX Style]. These are little cosmetic changes. More to come of course ! 2. RT2500Replug - Fix It ! I have included the in-famous RT2500Replug that fixes the USB Plugging-in and Plugging out dilemma for RT2500-USB Users. So , you dont have to re-plug it each time you use OSX. It would just work instead. Its a pretty nifty patch , of course you got to thank the original developer. http://mitglied.lycos.de/thomsmac/RT2500Replug.html 3. Packet Compression This is something new to the RT2500 World. The driver actually supports Packet Compression , but it was not implemented for a reason. So I fixed it by turning it on and adding an option in the GUI. Certainly , it helps to 'speed' up the overall network performance.It does it by sending the data packets in '1Mbps' Mode. Certainly its not ideal for transferring large files. But if your Signal Strength is low , then you might want to try to use Packet Compression. Oh yeah , you might have occasional kernel panics , thats one of the drawbacks. -----USE THIS AT FEATURE AT YOUR OWN RISK-------- 4. Airport Detection [Menu] - BETA- This is something new , many of us do want that cute little tiny Airport logo in their menu bar. So I have included it in my package installer. Notice that its still new and beta , and sometimes it does not work right. I am working on it. It might work or might not for you 5. SuperG+ [bETA] This enables SuperG+ Mode on most [err just about any supported RT2500 Devices]. It gives you 108Mbps/72Mbps/22Mbps [Theoretically]. Pretty much it boosts network transfers on supported routers only How-To 1. Download the program from http://rakis.net/~prasys/Ralink%20Wireless...Wizard.mpkg.zip 2. Install it. Once its done , repair its permissions using disk Utility . Once its fixed , you would need to build kext-cache back [To do this , press F8 before the Darwin X86 booting screen and type -f in the boot prompt] 3. Download the V 1.5 from http://www.rakis.net/~prasys/ralinkv015.zip Change log Changelog - version 0.15 1. New Ralink Tool [A Total New Look] 2. 802.11G+ [enables 802.11G+ Booster] 3. Optimisation ....A lot of them this time. It should be much much more faster on SSE2 Hackintoshes. More to come 4. Leopard Ready - Thats right , it works with Leopard [with some kernel panics] Changelog - version 0.12 1. Added Linksys WUSB54GC Support [Thanks SilverTab and Simania_NL] and wrapped with the new RT7 Series Driver 2. RT2500's Driver version has been upgraded from 1.1.3 to 1.1.5 [Thanks toshi for the drivers] 3. Fixed Airport menu thingy [For now it should at least show up the Airport icon but I am not too sure if it really works or not. This is the first stage getting the Airport logo Icon thingy working] 4. Added lots of optimisation to the code to make it even better KUDOS I would like to thank :- nVidia_user - for testing it toshi - for the new driver thingy Simania_NL - for the Linksys WUSB54Gs support thingy ! Q/A If you're having any problems , feel free to send me a PM or meet me on IRC - macspeak , #scripts. Oh yeah if you like to support me [to pay up my Tuition fees , then you could PM me ]. I will be working on other stuffs as well.
