atomicchicken Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hello, Well got my Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54-AI working with the latest Ralink Driver. I can connect to my router (Linksys WRT-54GL) just fine thru the Ralink USB Wireless Utility but the problem is I cant cruise the web. I read around that I should use the System Preferences/Network to setup my new connection but its not listed there. All I see is my "dead/no functional" on-board 3com920 wired ethernet as an option and none other. Under System profiler my USB WiFi shows up as BSD name : en0. Under Network it says "Built-in Ethernet", Type: Ethernet, Hardware: Ethernet, BSD Device Name: en0, IPv4 Address: 169.254.103.91, Config Method: DHCP, Interface Name: en0, Subnet Masks: 255.255.0.0. Any help would be appreciated!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicchicken Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hello again Rammjet, ok heres the scoop. so i went to system prefrences->network->show->Network port configurations->new... and this is what shows up in the show windows : network status, built-in ethernet, network port configurations and in network port configurations i only have built-in ethernet as an option which is checked and active. there is no airport option. also, the buffalo was in the info.plist. i had to tweak the idproduct key in the plist to make the buffalo work but everything else is factory. in the usbwireless utility, it states that i am connected to my router but i think your right in that its not. kinda weird. heres some info that might be helpful that a got. under "about this mac / more info" USB WLI-U2-KG54-AI: Removable Media: No Detachable Drive: Yes BSD Name: en0 Version: 0.01 Bus Power (mA): 500 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Buffalo OS9 Drivers: No Product ID: 0x0067 Vendor ID: 0x0411 and network... Built-in Ethernet: Type: Ethernet Hardware: Ethernet BSD Device Name: en0 IPv4 Addresses: 169.254.8.129 IPv4: Addresses: 169.254.8.129 Configuration Method: DHCP Interface Name: en0 Subnet Masks: 255.255.0.0 IPv6: Configuration Method: Automatic Proxies: FTP Proxy Enabled: No FTP Passive Mode: Yes Gopher Proxy Enabled: No HTTP Proxy Enabled: No HTTPS Proxy Enabled: No RTSP Proxy Enabled: No SOCKS Proxy Enabled: No Ethernet: MAC Address: Media Options: Media Subtype: autoselect damn i keep thanking you guys but here it goes again, THANKS for helping me out and trying to get this working!!!!! See ya soon! hehe...unless i get it fixed that is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
