Add AirPort Extreme suport via a wireless USB adapter
Authored by: coralseastudios on Mar 07, '08 01:15:13PM

I've been using this solution with a G5 iMac connected to an "N" Airport, and now "N" Time Capsule.

Throughput has been poor, and the software occasionally crashes, stopping the adapter altogether for no particular reason.

The adapter ISN'T recognized on startup requiring the adapter to be unplugged and replugged after the computer has completed startup.

RALink doesn't respond to queries about these issues.

Everything provided with the adapter seems geared to Windoze users - I hate when the same time and effort has not been placed on making accessories work properly on the Mac.

Overall it's a solution, but not a very elegant one.
