Seth135 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Leopard recognises it, but as a usb device. It says wireless, dont remember what for, but it doesnt use it as an airport. any help would be greatly appreciated, as many have it on their mobo.

Paulo Greimel Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 No way in Leopard, Realtek provide drivers to it but they work only in Mac OS X Tiger. So install tiger if you want wireless (and grab the driver on realtek webpage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoJ Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 edit2: FIXED Bit more searching and i found i had to add the vendor/product id to the kext. Works fine now! yay! So, cant get my belkin USB wifi to work. Chipset is RTL8187B. Tried the following drivers, 87_Mac10.4_v1309, 87B_Mac10.4_v1117, RRTL8187B_MacOS10.4_1088. Non of which work Specs: Aspire 3610 Laptop Intel Celeron M - SSE2 Only Intel GMA900 - working fine Sound - dunno wat it is, working fine though USB Ports - all working No SATA - All IDE as its a fairly old laptop There dosnt seem to be a problem installing the drivers. All of the driver packages i've tried install with no errors, problem is none of them seem to want to fire-up either the USB stick or the 'Realtek WLAN' app, so there isnt a new device in Network preferences or anything. Even after multiple install/reinstalls of the driver, the app still hangs and i have to force quit. The usb device still shows up in System Profiler though, so i guess its 'there'. Tried iATKOS r3 and Uphuck 10.4.9i and no luck with either. Downloading Jas 10.4 at the mo to see if that will help. Any ideas?

bigjangin Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I finally got mine to work. The problem was the encryption. I had wpa2 with AES which worked fine in windows, but wouldnt work for some reason in OSX. Changed it to WPA and it works now! On 10.5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
