Android 1.6~2.3 and 4.0 devices may or may not, at manufacturer’s discretion, include the Android driver from Realtek on their customized Android builds. We have not done any internal tests as of yet and cannot recommend this device for Android users at this time- although this may be a great option for Android developers familiar with compiling drivers into android source.
For the very latest drivers, take a look at the Realtek website. This will take you to the drivers page for the Realtek RTL8188EU(S) chipset that’s at the heart of the USB-WIFINT (Realtek’s page has not been functional for sometime, retained for historical purposes).
OrangeWare has announced a Macintosh driver for wireless 001c802.11a/b/g cards using the Atheros chipset.
For several years now, Apple users have chafed at the issue that most wireless cards (CardBus and PCI) don't work with Apple's Airport access points.*Why is that?*It's because the Apple client driver only works with the Broadcom chipset.*Recently, OrangeWare developed a Mac OS X Wireless Driver for the 3Com wireless line of cards which use the Atheros chip, and licensed the driver to 3Com.*As a result, the Atheros based 3Com cards are now compatible with Macintosh. This Macintosh compatibility is offered by 3Com at no charge to its users.*
OrangeWare's announcement broadens the driver availability to all users of Atheros based wireless cards. They include D-Link, Netgear, Aztec, Elecom, Fujitsu, IBM, Linksys, NEC, Samsung and Sony. All their current wireless offerings listed at the bottom can use the new OrangeWare Macintosh Wireless Driver. This means that the lonely Mac user can now link up with Mac and PC access points by using significantly lower cost wireless cards instead of expensive Airport cards. An Airport extreme card costs $99.00, whereas the D-Link card costs as little as $38.00.*
Another unique benefit of this driver is for the Mac users who need to connect to PC based 001c802.11a001d wireless access points. OrangeWare's driver is the only solution available to Mac Users -- nothing else works. *
The Macintosh OS X wireless driver is available to users as a free trial download from http://www.orangeware.com . If users are satisfied, a permanent license is available from the same source for $15.00.**
The Wireless Setup v2_1t.mpkg package will install all components necessary for your wireless card to function under Mac OS X v10.2 or greater.
Wireless Setup v2_1t.mpkg installs a trial version of the OrangeWare 802.11g wireless Ethernet driver that allows for an evaluation period of 10 minutes once you have configured the card for operation.
Once installed, you may configure the OrangeWare 802.11g wireless Ethernet driver for your card. To do so, proceed to the Mac OS X System Preferences application and select the 'Wireless Configuration' panel. You will need to open this panel and click the 'Apply Now' button each time you reboot your Macintosh to activate further evaluation periods.
After your 10 minute evaluation period has expired, you will be presented with the opportunity to buy this software. A successful purchase will immediately activate the OrangeWare 802.11g wireless Ethernet driver for unlimited use on YOUR COMPUTER ONLY. *Activation also allows you to have full use of your network card from the moment you boot up your Macintosh, and eliminates the need to click Apply Now on the Wireless Configuration panel each time you boot.
NOTE: Apple G3 Power Books from the M3553 family are not compatible, you must have a later version.
