vanja Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Since my Intel wireless 220 isn't working I decided to buy another working wireless card for os x and switch completey to it. This d-link dwl 122 is usb dongle and i've read on couple sites that people are not very satisfied with it on 10.4. but I am not even sure if it'll work on x86 so please fill me in. The reason I am asking about his dongle is because I can get it for not much money...
