pootify Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Anyone had luck getting this to work under Kaliway Leopard? I tried installing the drivers from the RaLink page: http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html But the RaLink utility doesn't detect the card. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipttees Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 any solution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keet Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Perhaps it would be possible to download the Linux driver source code and compile it in OSX? It probably wouldn't work, but maybe....... or at the least, the source code could be modified to work on Mac OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatthieuD Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I also have the problem, but i don't understand why this driver doesn't work ( http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html )? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tivoselecta Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi there, I've tried this installation a few times, and then gave up. I started again recently, and have now got Leopard running on my Dell Inspiron 531; something I'm going to document when I get it working perfectly. I used iDeneb 1.3, but didn't install a network driver, as that was a problem I banged my head against last time. I now have a beautiful desktop with perfect resolution etc, mouse and keyboard are working. Now I want to get my network running so I can stop running files back and forth on a USB key. My mainboard has a nVideo nForce card built into it. 10DE 0eEF. I have installed the different kexts from the start of this thread, stepping through all four of the forcedeth flavors. All of them except forcedeth-d do the same thing- MacOS reports a new network connection etc.. and my router seems happy to see it etc, but as soon as that information appears, the keyboard and mouse (both USB) cease to function. I have looked through the boards but have failed to come up with any more info on this problem. Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm a osx86 noob, but I'm a pretty experienced Win/Mac/Linux user... I just don't know how to get around this problem... Thanks for any helps/tips/pointers.

RussianBandit Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Any news on this? Also what application is that a screen shot of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie1123 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have also modified the IO810211family.kext adding the card ID by myself: "<string>pci14e4,0302</string>" But it isn't still working. I'm so frustated right now... After all the time I spent making in front the screen instaling, reinstaling, instaling back again ... humm... and, now I realise that the oficial driver only works for PPC. Well, I'd like to know if there is any other altenative to make it work... I may buy an ethernet to USB adapter on eBay (this time, I'll check quite well if it's supported) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacN3wb Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Aye, that it does. But it didn't work for my AWLH5025, and I strongly suspect that it's not because of PPC compatibility issues but rather the way that Airlink chose to implement the hardware. I've tried all the suggestions to no avail, and I'm considering getting the USB version, which appears to be functional. I'd rather keep the AWLH5025 XR™ 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter with its cool antennas instead of a goofy looking USB dongle Cheers m8s!
