smartie77 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Does anyone know a WiFi USB-Stick that works with Lion? My current one that works with SnowLeopard (LCS-8131N USB Wireless, Chip = Ralink RT2870F) doesn't work with Lion (Wireless utility freezes). I don't know if it's simply the missing driver support from Ralink or if there is some general incompatibility... visit my Lion Guide ( see signature ) - I have a Rt2870 USB stickfrom Sitecom. The kext from June 2011 is working in Lion, The ralink utility is also causing issues to me ( when using Lion fullscreen feature ) , so I searched for a replacement and found one. A prefpane/menuitem combo that manages the networks. Works absolutely with Lion and ralinks official kexts. the prefpane you put in /Library/prefpanes and the app into /applications. Repair permissions with Apples diskutility.Then go to Users control panel and activate the app to launch on login. Prefpane is accessible from within "system Settings" later. I put together a zip, find in my Toshiba Guide - just try it. Ralink will sooner or later release Lion compatible utility. Until then this is a working solution.

natasha123 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 hi max as the "a" says unzip the contents of his file and put in the right locations as shown in the extracted folder then goto application /system preferences /users /login items press + and add the new installed app in application folder I ticked the box saying hide. that's it make sure you drag your old raalink utility to trash if you have it installed . this app looks like airport but isn't compatible with the real apple airport app if you understand what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splonk Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Anything Ralink based sucks under OSX. Constant dropouts which means having to unplug sticks or restart connection applications. I have washed my hands of these. The best card to get is a Broadcom BCM94322MC. Put that in a PCI-e adapter and you should get Airdrop under Lion.

PGHammer Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Anything Ralink based sucks under OSX. Constant dropouts which means having to unplug sticks or restart connection applications. I have washed my hands of these. The best card to get is a Broadcom BCM94322MC. Put that in a PCI-e adapter and you should get Airdrop under Lion. To quote the recent Metamucil TV ads in the US, to make such a generalization about Ralink-based USB sticks is, to put it simply, *wrong*. I've used the *same* Ralink-based USB stick in Lion that I've used in Snow Leopard (in fact, in Snow Leopard, it replaced an SMC USB-based stick) with nary an issue. What bites isn't the driver support, but the old utility (which is not pure x64, which naturally causes conniptions in Lion). There is a newer utility that is purely x64 and is compatible with AirDrop (but still works in both Lion and SL); there's a link to a package (that also includes the most recent driver kexts) in the LAN and Wireless forum.
