VCH888 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks for the fix. It's working for my Edimax EW-7318USG. I could connect my wireless router with authentication. The official driver from Ralink supports this chip (rt2573) up to 10.6. I could install the official driver (10.6) on 10.7. The problem was WirelessUtility could not work on 10.7 properly. I could not connect to my wireless router with authentication unless I had to set my wireless router without authentication and sometimes got error of WirelessUtility. edit: the patch for rt73 had been on kexts.com for months and I didn't take a look throughout the site until today. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/273872-usb-wifi-rt73-fix-for-lion-1072/#findComment-1782259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdul Qayyum Amir Rasid Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I tried the above method but I can't seem to launch the Ralink Wireless Utility, while my hackintosh now detects the USB Wireless Adapter but I can't use it. By the way I'm on Lion 10.7.2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/273872-usb-wifi-rt73-fix-for-lion-1072/#findComment-1822301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
