I had this exact problem. It is because the driver needs to be upgraded. You must uninstall the old driver first! Then install the one for 10.4. After that it should work fine, although you do need to restart and let it find the wifi adapter all over again. On Dec 12, 2009, at 9:52 AM, Dan wrote

Check that the netgear unit itself is not failing by using it on a known compatible set up. I had similar symptoms with a linksys unit until the linksys just failed completely. Was easy to find the culprit then. ;) Rony -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group,

No intel mac here, so i'm stuck with VPC... are you talking about the 7.0.3 update... apparently it performs better that 7...you'd think it'd run pretty good on my 1.6GHz powerbook (leopard) although I'll have to do a bit of stickhandling to get it to install; i know vpc isn't supported on 10.5.

Yeah, the min speed on a mac for reasonable VPC 7.0.3 performance with WinXP pro is 700MHz.. my Quicksilver is 800mhz... if it's too slow (but nothing was slower for me than my first mac, a 25MHz Quadra 610) I'll load VPC up on my 1.6GHz titanium powerbook Bruce Johnson wrote: > On Dec 12, 200
