skezza Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 In an attempt to make my PC more Windows/Mac and Linux friendly. Im trying to buy hardware that will work in both. Just found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-Wireless-Card-fo...7QQcmdZViewItem Anyone used it? If so, any good? Ive noticed the reciever strength is 2db below the one i currently have when running at 54mbps. Will that make a difference? Its frequency range is also lower. But it works on Mac, not just linux and windows like the one i currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skezza Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 okay, installed it, but still not detecting. its annoying because its reading in the profiler, but just not detecting the actual driver itself :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofxx Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Bro, I cant test it now.. my zydas is with my girlf . I know it worked in iatkos.. but im using kalyway now (faster and stable in my pc) But it may has something to do with the 10.5.2 IONetworking update. Dunno whats going to happen now that zydas doest exist anymore. Or atheros release a new working one or the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
