Are there any USB thumbs with Mac drivers???

Yes. Both MacWireless and D-link have USB thumb wireless cards with drivers
for OS-X.

Links to these cards are on my Wireless FAQ site.

EBay always has them also the Mac wireless cards.

I know I can get hold of them in the UK so if you have no luck in Sweden
drop me a line and I will locate one for you.

Malc do you have any Orinoco cards.

I have one of the dlink adapters and it worked quite well under

 AFAIK only D-link makes one of these devices that's Mac compatible, and 
 then it's only OS X compatible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was told the http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0pid=241  was one;
and I found the Netgear ME101 as wel.
But I was not looking to power such from a laptop, rather use it with 
a Bondi Blue...

oh, then definitely get one of those two; they work well for that 
purpose; anything with an ethernet port works. I set ours up for the 
wireless network with my PB540c...

Not AFAIK, but D-link sells a Mac compatible one: 
http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0pid=175

 A search of Froogle reveals prices for 802.11b versions down around 
$20 before SH.

The is the only one of these things I come close to recommending, but 
it still doesn't have the range of most other solutions.

Wireless USB adapter driver

2005-03-11 Thread Pierre Boivin
Is there a generic OS X driver for a wireless LAN USB adapter? There is 
a lot of inexpensive PC adapter on the market and I just don't see why 
none of them have a MAC driver.

Everything is ready to add another network connection in the preference 
/ network menu but there is no provision for USB based network 
connection.

Maybe in the Linux world something that can be adapted?

Besides the Airport method, I forgot that you can also simply plug a 
USB printer bluetooth adapter into your printer, pair it with your 
TI800, and volia!  You can now print with no wires up to 33 feet away.  
I've got that exact setup with my Epson C84 and my Pismo.

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

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)

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

 Hi all, just learning here,I have a D-Link wireless ethernet router

 to connect wirelessly to these also? thankyou for your help

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.

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.
