markinsoca Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Look at Edimax EW-7718Un nMax Wireless 802.11n USB Adapter. It works with my Acer 4720z laptop. I wouldn’t say its cheap ($45) but it does work. Mac drivers are on their web site. I’m running Kalyway 10.5.2.

Telefunken Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I just today bought a SMC Ez Connect 54G USB stick type SMCWUSB-G for Euro 10 here in the Netherlands. Working perfectly with the ZD1211 USB Wireless Lan Driver drivers from http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Drivers/Zydas...SB-driver.shtml. See also http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...10.5.2#Wireless for more info. I am using 10.5.3 (JaS edition) on a Medion MD 96780 laptop to write this reply.

Detosx Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I use a Sweex LW053 but with drivers from their Taiwanese site. It cost about £12/$21. The older drivers on the English site gave me the replug problem - have to unplug and replug in after bootup. That problem went away with the Taiwanese site's newer drivers. Boy was I chuffed when I found that. Pick up is about the same as with the laptop's own wifi when used with Vista. In other words, not fabulous if you're in a weak signal area. I would submit that it would pay to get one that doesn't improve greatly with the use of an optional vegetable strainer used as an amplifying dish dealy! Oh, yes, google is full weird and wonderful projects and the fan-outable rice/veggie strainer actually works to some degree.
