[Macintosh] I'm wireless!!!

Hey All,

Finally got my netgear MA111 in the mail today. From research on the web I found out that the d-link driver works on mac osx before purchasing. By the way this is a usb 802.11b adaptor. I'm running it on a bronze g3 powerbook 400 mhz 192mb memory osx 10.3.7. So I installed the d-link driver, restarted my machine and connected the adaptor. It worked for like 5 minutes. I was like what in the hell is going on. So I checked online and to make a long story short I found a solution. The problem was that the adaptor was getting too hot connected directly to a usb port on my mac right now it is a bit warm but is not increasing in temperature. What was suggested from the site that I went to for help was to use the 5ft. long dongle that came with the usb adaptor, and to set the power to Maximum Power Save or to Power Save (this is from the wifi menu in the menu bar). So I'm still on right now and it's running fine. Sitting on the coach with no wires is cool on my laptop listening to shared itunes from my desktop, and surfing the web.

What is funny is that I was only expecting to see only my network here in my poor ass neighborhood but there is a linksys network up too. I connected but the signal is not that strong.

The site that I went to get help was http://www.randyrants.com/2003/08/test_drive_dlin.html . Hope this helps others.
