I would be very surprised if the dongle works with OS 9! (unless
Belkin explicitly has written a driver for OS 9 which would surprise
me)
What I gathered from (quickly) reading up on the USB 802.11b/g dongles
was that Mac OS X would only support a few brands and even then only
with special third party drivers (I was curious to know if I could
easily add 802.11b/g to my Mac mini given that it doesn't have a
wirless card).
Eric.
