| 452173 | 2006-05-04 11:27:00 | One for Mac people - G4 PowerPC, OS 10.4, has no airport card, so bought Dick Smith 802.11 wlan usb adapter - installed driver, but instructions thereafter only for Windows. It's supposed to be Mac compatible. Any help? thanks |

| 452176 | 2006-05-05 05:53:00 | If it's a XH8344 (www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.filereader?445ada6b0b5a121e2742c0a87f9906e7+EN/catalogs/SUPXH8344), that DSE support page might help. ;) If it's not, click on the "more..." on its website entry, and look for the appropriate support page. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 452177 | 2006-05-05 06:29:00 | do you know what chipset it use's? Just in case the driver above isn't right | plod (107) | ||
| 452178 | 2006-05-05 11:50:00 | the driver is correct, from dse's website. the manual only gives instructions for installing the driver - then just says follow Windows configuration. The manual gives a printscreen of the Mac usb wireless utility menu for this adapter - but I can't find this. I can find the driver application, but nothing happens when clicking it. I'm stuck, so may just take the imac in for an airport card. it's not my money & I don't want to muck around. Anyone familiar with OS-X 10.3.4 - imac g4 |

| 452179 | 2006-05-05 12:44:00 | You will find the Wireless Utility in Applications/Utilities/Wireless Utility USB open it from there. It will be exactly the same as shown for the Windows configuration To get to Applications - Finder/Applications or Go menu/Applications |

Thanks for helping, anyway. I've posted in a mac forum, then realised there's only like 1-2 posts a week & sometimes once a fortnight. |

| 452182 | 2006-05-09 12:33:00 | I got it sussed. it was a case of wrong driver - I was following someone else who had it going, then realised they had version 10.4 & I was working on version 10.3. Also fyi - an imac can't take ethernet cards like desktops. it can only take an airport card or usb. now that its going - it's actually quite good. thanks all |
