Yes you are right ! Thanks for the eye !

 

And it is working with OSX 10.10 DP8 automatically ( with profil drawer/connect order of my SSID) with my Dlink DWA 140 rev B1  USB dongle  !   :thumbsup_anim:

How it works for me:

  1. I took Dlink Utility prefpane v 2.6.4 from latest  "DWA-140_drv_RevD1_MACOS_4-2-9-4_UI_2-6-4-0_all_en_20140806.zip"
  2. Installed with Pacifist : Statup items folder in S/L/StartupItems

 

Then took with Pacifist :

  1. RT2870USBWirelessDriver.kext v 5.01.09 from  "MT7610U_D5.0.1.09_SDK1.0.2.10_UI5.0.0.15_20140822.dmg" and installed it with Kext Wizard
  2. And took RaWLAPI.framework and put it in S/L/Frameworks
  3. Rebuild cache and permissions with Kext Wizard v 3.7.10
    ;)

Superstar .. Used this to get my ASUS USB-AS50 Dongle working on my Surface . However it is only working in single channel mode I think. (It also only appears to see 5Ghz networks and not 2.4Ghz) 

Do you have any experienxce of the issue ? 

 

Edit Scrap that.. I think it is only 5Ghz,  

I also think it is only operating at 20Mhz , Not 40Mhz or 80Mhz, would this be correct ?

Hey peoples. Here's a modified version of the Ralink Airport app, modified to work with the dwa-140 prefpane. If you want to try it out, goto /S/L/PrefPanes and delete the DWA-140WirelessUtility.prefpane; then copy the WirelessUtility.prefpane supplied to /S/L/Prefpanes. Finally put the wireless utility app wherever you like and add it to login items, and there you go, ralink wifi that vaguely resembles airport. 

NB, i created neither of the two programs supplied, although i modified that whose copyright apparently resides with aqua-mac. The other one, i.e the prefpane appears to belong to D-Link, in which case the copyright of such resides with them.

this util don't connect to wifi profile at starup... it just starts and network profile must be chosen from prefpane... :(

I made a modification to an older Dlink DWA-130 package, and replaced the RT2870 kext that wasn't compatible with 10.10.5 and inserted one that is working.

 

I have added the following line to the postinstall script so it should automatically launch at login.

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to make login item at end with properties {path:"/System/Library/StartupItems/MiniTaskUSB-DWA130.app", hidden:false}'

Need some feedback from people that have tested it on Yosemite 10.10

I am currently running this driver and its working well. Wifi starts on login and resumes after a sleep.

I haven't run the package on a clean install yet, but this is a proof of concept.

Mediatek has released an update V5.0.1.25 MAC 10.9/10.10/10.11  http://www.mediatek....ads1/downloads/

Obviously the utility works now under El Capitan: Source:http://www.insanelym...-capitan-ready/

 

Didn't try my self ....

 

As always get rid of your old kexts, app and preference files before you install this !

 

Good luck

;)

 

Update:

 

I tried and it works perfect with OSX 10.11.3 !

Desactivate WPS (associate IE and probe IE) ! in Wireless utility

Input also your préfered DNS server ! in System preferences /Network/802.11nWLAN

 

At last the utility works now !
