Re: Wireless USB Adapter (802.11b/802.11g) recommendation?

[Gregory J. Smith]

If your using it with a 'book, then they aren't exactly portable. I'm  
looking to use one with my PBG4, so I can use 802.11g and so I can  
get a better signal than the internal antennas. I've got a DWL-G122,  
but apparently you need a certain revision for it to work with the Mac.

Both D-Link  and Netgear 
 make them. Both require access to AC power 
to work. These are really useful for putting wired-only systems on a 
wireless network; they're less practical for laptop use.

The USB dongles are far more portable.

Because the USB one is the size of a memory stick, and doesn't require 
a power brick. It sucks to have a nice portable iBook and have to lug 
along a half-pound worth of wall socket leash.

All the ones I've seen need their own power supply, not too portable. 
Personally I'd spend the bucks for an Airport card.

BTW, the airport cards I've seen on e-bay are going for $60-80 which 
is less than they were originally.

that's supposedly the DWL-122 USB adapter. I have tried this one out last
summer and it was causing random and frequent kernel panics on a Lombard
running Panther. I can't recall what version of panther it was. DWL-122
firmware was the latest at that point in time (can't recall the version
either), so were the OS X drivers.

I just reckon they have since replaced it with the DWL-G122, ditching Mac
support altogether.

I've just gone wireless myself, but with a HP 5850 (802.11b built-in).
I was seriously considering the Epson C84WN (wireless networking, 802.11b
as well), but HP had a $100 rebate going on.

Print with no wires up to150 feet away? Networked. OS X and 9 :-)

not quite the same thing as removing a misfeature.) Reluctant featurectomies
are performed to satisfy some external constraint such as code size or

Belkin has one too which has gotten good reviews. They have drivers for OS
from 8.6 to 10.3. The price is right, around 20 euros over here.

I did some research of both the D-Link and the Linksys systems when I went
wireless (chose D-Link because of their Mac support). If I remember
correctly, neither company's USB wireless access point was listed to work
with Macs (OS9 or OSX), only Windows 98 and above.

If someone knows different, then I would be interested also.

Re: wireless USB

[Andrew Kershaw]

I have no idea how well Linksys wireless USB stuff works, but based on
various comments I read about their networking products, they are not
supportive at all for the Macintosh, so don't expect any support if you run
into problems...


Hi Laurent, I have a Linksys (wired) and when I tried to install it 
I did have some problems, I called Linksys and they assisted me all 
the way through the process of installation, the guy stayed on the 
phone and guided me step by step.
So it may be a case of how the worker operates or it could be that 
I'm a lucky guy.
Linksys doesn't write drivers for Mac OS.  If the USB dongle requires 
drivers (it must, I don't believe there are drivers for these things 
built into the Mac OS), it won't work with your Mac.

IIRC, MacWireless has a USB adapter for wireless...

Peace,
Drew

Occasionally I install wireless networks for various people (side 
money)...  I have run into huge problems with the USB linksys wireless 
interfaces.  The first one was on a Windows ME machine, and I blamed it 
on ME.  The second one happened two weeks ago on a brand new Dell with 
WinXP - it was a pain to install and it would lock the machine after 
being on for less than five minutes (on that machine I replaced it with 
a PCI version and it's been perfect ever since).  Now I know this might 
not have anything to do with them working on apple OS's but as for me, 
whether in apple, windows, linux or whatever I'm staying away from 
those cards.   I'll vouch for their other stuff though (i'm on network 
with their 54g access point going through their cable router w/4 port 
switch then through their cable modem - not to mention the cute little 
5 port switch that the access point plugs into - on my airport extreme 
equipped al pb)

Most probably they're called 'Don't exist' .

If you printer is capable of running via the network, you could 
probably attach it to a wired ethernet port   on the router, but the 
scanner's gotta be connected via the cable.

There are emerging standards ('Bluetooth') that could possibly be used 
for this sort of thing, but I don't think it would be at all useful for 
scanning, and printing would be slow...this is designed for data 
transfer between things like PDA's and cell phones, and is rather slow 
in terms of data transfer.

Some printers (I know several models of HP laser printers do) support 
IRDA for printing, I don't know if the ones that do support it on the 
Mac.

AFAIK, no one has ever made a wireless scanner.

Hello -

More details needed.  What kind of interfaces do the printer and 
scanner have, and what do you mean by "connect wirelessly" to them?  If 
you mean that you want to reach them from your wireless connected 
Powerbook, but they can be hard-wired to the switch ports on the D-Link 
device, that's one thing - if you want the printer and scanner 
themselves to use wireless connections it's another.

The printer will need a network print server.  This can be a dedicated 
device that connects to the printer, part of a network switch or 
router, or a service provided by a computer that the printer attaches 
to.  If you are using IP-based computers only, LPR/LPD print servers 
are the most common and will work well.  However, if you have legacy 
Apple equipment that requires AppleTalk over Ethernet, you will need to 
find a combination print server to support it.

Attaching a scanner to the network may be more problematic, because 
AFAIK there is no standard network protocol for communicating with 
them, and the manufacturer's software may not be capable of working 
with them in any way other than a direct connection.  You are likely to 
need to consult the manufacturer's information for the specific scanner 
to see what the options are.
