I installed it and it worked the first time -- although I did need to switch off Tx Burst mode in the Advanced settings, and turn off IP6 in the Network System Preference. Enjoy!

I bought a Belkin ADSL modem and 802.11g router which came bundled with a USB wireless dongle. I wanted to use it with my iBook, which would take an original AirPort card, but why waste what I already have? After much searching and trying many possible solutions and modifiying countless plist files, I stumbled across a forum with a link to a driver download page for a list of wireless cards, and includes a driver for OS X 10.4 -- scroll down to the Mac section and find the USB driver for 10.4. This link (492KB) should download the current driver, dated August 28, 2005. There are drivers for 10.3 there as well.

Use a Belkin wireless dongle with OS X
I've set a few of these up for older iBooks as well. I've never really liked them as an adequate wireless solution however. These are the equivalent of cheap Windows PCI wireless cards, and as such do not always work well on atypical network setups. For example, at work we have a network that doesn't broadcast an SSID, and I had quite a time getting this dongle to recognize the network. Sometimes it would be as easy as setting up Airport to do the same thing (Just type in the SSID and hit "OK), sometimes I had to fiddle with settings.
Use a Belkin wireless dongle with OS X
Has anyone tried the USB drivers with a Linksys 802.11G USB adapter? I have a 6Mbps cable connection and a linksys 54G router. My eMac uses the old 802.11b Airport card and the connection is maxing out when I am surfing the net. I would like to add 802.11G speed to the Mac but the only way to do it would be a 54G wireless ethernet bridge which they are charging over a 100 bucks for. The USB adapters would be the way to go. If not has anyone used cheaper Ethernet bridges to a 54g speeds to their 802.11b Macs?
Use a Belkin wireless dongle with OS X
I've been using a D-Link DWL-122 (802.11b) with an iMac DV SE. As far as I'm aware it's the only wireless USB dongle that officially works on OS X. Having said the, the drivers are very buggy, and D-Link have a long history of not giving a stuff on this subject. I've been looking into various options so I though I'd get one of these Belkin dongles and give this driver a shot. The software is certainly better than D-Link's, and it gets much better reception - I'm getting 65% at 54Mbits where I was lucky to get 50% with the D-Link.

Use a Belkin wireless dongle with OS X
Hi all
Use a Belkin wireless dongle with OS X
I have done the same, and it sort of works, but not very well. If you are more than a few feet from the router, it disconnects at random. I presume that you have the 3000uk model, or the Belkin driver should work.
