Thanks for reviving the old DWL-G122 thread from a year ago and for the excellent summary! There are testimonials to the DWL-G122 at Amazon and numerous dongles for sale on ebay and a real need to sort out what works and what doesn't.Some followup comments and questions:
1. One reason why you might be interested in a USB wireless antenna even if you've got a modern Mac with builtin wireless is that the reception on the Airport cards (at least in a titanium PowerBook like mine) is notoriously weak. There are lots of times when I get little or no reception and my pals with Dell laptops are doing great. I also want a cheap USB wireless device so I can play with gizmos like the famous Chinese cookware antenna.
2. Thanks for the warning that two antennas in use simultaneously can damage each other. But there's no problem as long as you turn off your built-in antenna before plugging in the USB one, right? Presumably you could avoid the problem by putting the USB antenna at the end of a cable, correct? How long would be far enough? And doesn't this problem also apply if people on two different laptops are working in close quarters?
3. So the Ralink driver trick only works with the B1 version of the G122. What if you can locate an older A1 or A2 version? Will they still work on Mac OS X 10.4? There seem to be plenty of them on ebay, although a lot of the sellers don't say and probably don't know which version they've got. (The ones who do so are trying to cater to TiVo users, who also have dependencies on the G122 version.)
4. Finally, are there any *other* USB wireless antennas which can be scrounged up cheap for use on a Mac? Don't answer that -- I'll start another thread.
Thanks again!
Ralink Drivers Mac Os
Ralink WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI 'Any' SSID Trick It's really awesome that Ralink provides Mac OS X driver for some of its wireless cards. However, these drivers could be better integrated with the Airport service.
Instead, you must use its separate WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI software along with Network Preferences. The good news is that yesterday, I found a neat trick that would make your life easier when moving your notebook computer around. Most wireless cards allows you to setup the driver so that you can associate with any SSID that it can connect to. Most of them uses the special 'any' keyword in the SSID field.
Unfortunately, this keyword does not work with WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI. After playing around with the software, I found that you can do the same with the WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI by creating a new profile, but leaving the SSID field empty (shown in the screen shot below). With this profile activated, your notebook WiFi will associate itself to any accessible access point.

Unfortunately there is no SSID setting anywhere. I'm using the 'WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI Version 1.7.1.0 (1.7.1.0) with OS 10.5.8 and an Airlink 101 pci card Any suggestions? Doc files for mac os.

A while back, my out-of-warranty Macbook Pro's wireless antenna died. I had the card replaced; no dice. And unfortunately the antenna is in the screen, so to get working wireless back I would have had to get that replaced at a very high cost. I went another way. If you walk down the Networking aisle at Best Buy or Staples, which is what happens when you need a new wireless adapter in a hurry, you'll see that all the USB wireless dongles say they're for Windows only. Not a single one ships with a Mac driver, because I guess the Mac hardware is considered to be infallible or something.
Maybe the cost-benefit analyses didn't show it to be worthwhile. Luckily, most USB wireless dongles are repackaged chipsets from other manufacturers.

In particular, the and a few other wireless-N models by manufacturers like Belkin are based on the (now ) RT3573 chip. I bought the because of the build quality and speed capabilities. Years ago, which they've kept up-to-date.
So after buying my Windows-only Linksys dongle, all I had to do was. Or so I thought. You see, it turns out that the AE3000 didn't exist when the driver was written, so the installer doesn't know anything about it. You plug in your dongle, and nothing happens. What you actually have to do is install the driver and, before the final reboot after installation, go find the Info.plist file in /System/Library/Extensions/RT2870USBWirelessDriver.kext/. (After some adventures with text editors, I found that it was best to do this using sudo nano in a terminal window.) And this kind of ridiculousness is why open source operating systems are a good idea.

Nonetheless, despite the convoluted technical steps, it works: I have a working wireless-N connection via my Windows-only wireless dongle (even after an upgrade to Mavericks). I hope this helps someone else - and that manufacturers start properly supporting Mac OS X.
