Orangeware driver and Leopard

mr.me · 11-01-2007, 05:24 PM

I can't get the Orangeware wireless drive to work with Leopard. I think it may have to do with incompatibility due to the different operating system. I really hope that's not the case because Orangeware hasn't released anything since '06. Anyone else know of this?

have you tried deleting the plist file for the driver..

mr.me · 11-01-2007, 07:02 PM

Yeah. That didn't work. thanks, though

I "lost" my card too. The system doesn't even recognize the PCI-card. Are there any hope of fix?

mr.me · 11-02-2007, 02:22 PM

I sure as hell hope so

Grief...

Just got this reply from Orangeware:

Well what can one say...

I think I'll go for a new card with the Ralink chipset, such as the Edimax nMax. It's n-compatible and the driver is actually written by the producer of the actual chipset used.

xlr8yourmac.com has a page devoted to 802.11n on the mac.

Do you know if those are compatible with Leopard?

You might consider upgrading to a Quickertek card. They've already got Leopard updates for their PCI card.

One of the techs at OWC,who sells Edimax (www.macsales.com) have tested the 10.4 drivers with Leopard and confirmed that they worked. At least this is what I was told by a support guy in a live chat today.

I took your advice and got an Edimax card. It works great. Problem solved
