[Warstrong]

Armstrong, I just find out that method is the same with you on the first page! I'm sorry

Did it work by any chance?

[le241]

It's work on 10.5.7 iAtkos v7, I must install the Ralink 10 March 2009, then delete the kext RT2870 and get the new kext RT73USBWirelessDrive and put it in there, then go into Terminal and typed like this,

sudo -s (enter your password)

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/RT73USBWirelessDriver.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/RT73USBWirelessDriver.kext

cd /System/Library

rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache

sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

reboot

 

The method just as same as you on first page, this method will no work on 10.6 snow leopard. So sad. By the way I have bought the wg111 netgear to get it work on 10.6.2, I have heard this usb work on 10.6.2, I can't stand the slow of 10.5.7 iAtkos on hp dv 1017nr.

Thank you very much Warstrong and sorry abt my English, a Vietnamese trying to help people around

hi I have an acer 5315 running on 10.5.7, i use to have the wireless with my wusb54gc (the grey one) but last week end my internet crashed i thought it was coming from my hackintosh so i decided to update the driver but i tottally messed up everything

 

now i cant remember how i made it work.

I tried everything in this post but no succes

 

when i try to instal the kext with kextload i have a message about permission, when i try to use kexthelper b7 I click install, then it promps to reboot and cross finger but 2 seconds later i have a message saying that the kext hasnt been installed properly...

 

i m running out of hope, it was working perfectly before and now I m stuck

after trying all the methods the wireless utility still doesnt detect any device, I m dying to see the green status light beeping again lol.

 

Hope you can help me, if you need more info let me know

 

thank you

So far, I've tried using the version 1 and version 2/3 kexts with kext utility and the manual method. Rebooted multiple times as well as made sure to repair permissions every time, and unplugged/replugged quite often, and I still get the "No Device!!" message from the wireless utility. The light IS on for the device, but nothing recognizes it except under USB in the System Profiler.

 

Here's the info for my computer:

Hackintosh Snow Leopard 10.6.0

 

Compact Wireless-G USB Adapater:

Product ID: 0x0020

Vendor ID: 0x13b1

Version: 0.01

Speed: Up to 480 MB/sec

Manufacturer: Cisco-Linksys

Location ID: 0xfa500000

Current Available (mA): 500

Current Required (mA): 300

 

Please let me know if you need any other info about the computer.

Thanks for these drivers! Is there any chance of getting a 64-bit version of the WUSB54GC v1 driver?

My WUSB54GC has the same vendor id and product id as yours. I got mine working under 10.6.2 by installing lastest official RT2500 driver (RTUSB D71w-1.3.0.0_UI-2.0.0.0_2009_10_30.dmg) and then manually added the product id and vendor id to the Info.plist in /System/Library/Extensions/RT73USBWirelessDriver.kext/

+1 for this working. Plopped it down on the kext utility, restarted computer, replugged device, and it immediately detected it and started up my internet. This should seriously be in the OP.

Mine worked with the last driver, but decided to update (stupid I know - if it ain't broke don't fix it!) and it has stopped working with the February 2010 versions. I reverted back to the older version of the ktext and it works again, but thought you might be interested to know.

Hi i m looking for the kext for this USB adaptor too.

My version is 10.6, had tried kext version 1 posted, but no luck, the USB Dint light up and no device found.

 

I will try the version of feb n mar, hopefully it will work. But just in case, wat is the best kext for 10.6 and 10.6.2? Cos I will be doing update soon.

 

Thanks!

 

edit::

just tried installing WUSB54GC Versions 2-3, it works! install using kext helper b7, fire up wirelessutility, scan and will see the usb working!! dint even have to reboot, ha!

 

thanks warstrong!!

[koeny33]

Great! Got it nearly working!

My only problem is:

 

-I open Ralink Wireless Utility

-I have to wait a few seconds. After that, the message No Device!! turns into Disconnected!!

-It shows a list of detected networks (including mine!), but when I select my network and click 'Connect', nothing happens.

 

Oh, and sorry for my bad english...

I'm just 14 years old, and from Holland

You're not the first person to have this problem... I don't know what the fix is, though I imagine it's the app's fault but I don't think an alternative exists Maybe try adding a profile and using that instead of just using the search, select, and connect method. If anyone has a fix for this, please share!
