Popular Post rodrigocunha Posted July 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2014 Updated Ralink/Mediatek drivers for USB dongles released at 29/11/2013. MAVERICKS AND YOSEMITE COMPATIBLE Drivers downloaded from http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/usb-rt2870rt2770rt3x7xrt537xrt5572/ I made a zip file with oficial drivers and a preference pane from dlink that replace the oficial ralink wireless utility. This solve the problematic Ralink Wireless Utility that simply does not work on yosemite and the package doesn´t install the maverick kext in yosemite. ZIP CONTENTS DLINK PREFERENCE PANE INSTALATION Copy preference pane to \System\Library\PreferencePanes\ Copy kext for your MacOS version (use Maverick for Yosemite) to folder \System\Library\Extensions\ Repair permissions Rebuild kext cache Reboot.

Huckleberry Pie Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Has anyone managed to get this kext to work on an RT5360? Or is that significantly different from those supported by this kext (besides being that the one I mentioned ran off the PCI bus)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@ROBASEFR Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 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 ! How it works for me: 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" Installed with Pacifist : Statup items folder in S/L/StartupItems Then took with Pacifist : RT2870USBWirelessDriver.kext v 5.01.09 from "MT7610U_D5.0.1.09_SDK1.0.2.10_UI5.0.0.15_20140822.dmg" from here http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/ and installed it with Kext Wizard And took RaWLAPI.framework and put it in S/L/Frameworks Rebuild cache and permissions with Kext Wizard v 3.7.10 DWA-140_drv_RevD1_MACOS_4-2-9-4_UI_2-6-4-0_all_en_20140806.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c47v3770 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This works great. Thank you!! I did notice that after you restart the machine, the wireless does not connect automatically. Any way to fix that? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@ROBASEFR Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Any way to fix that? In System preferences you should have the D-link Utility preferencepane ! If so, ok , you open it and clik "Open Profile Drawer" In "Connect Order" window which slides left you click on + Chose your default SSID Wifi network Authentification and security: Chose your Authentication Type and password click ok Now you should ( wich is my case ) have automatically at every reboot connecton on your default SSID Wifi network ! Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempermental Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 brilliant solution, got me up and running with wifi on yosmite in a matter of minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptsash Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 This solution works great. I have one query: how can I disable/re-enable the Wifi or disconnect from a connection, without rebooting or unplugging the USB Wifi dongle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck That's actually what I did when I first set it up but no luck... I still have to activate the profile every time I reboot. Maybe I just didn't install the drivers properly?
