Mushishi Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Sorry to bring the bad news. The Atheroes USB chips are not supported by osx or by linux (aka madwifi) The best thing will be to bring the DWA-120 back and get the DWA-140 that is using an ralink chip and ralink has osx drivers for that chip.

terrancew_hod Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Speaking of D-link USB drivers, does anyone know what chipset the DWA-160 uses and if it has any drivers to work with OSX? I'm trying to figure out the best wireless adapter to connect with the Airport Extreme at 5ghz, if it is even possible.

Mushishi Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 That one is using Atheroes also. But there shoud be an ralink dualband in the works. And there are some atheroes PCI/PCI-e and PCMCIA/PCMCIA-e cards in the works on the dualband N draft. I dont know any model numbers or date yet.
