Once identified use Google to search for Apple Mac OS drivers for your WiFi chipset/product, in my case this was a RTL8191SU based dongle and it had a working Apple Mac OS X driver for the most current Mac OS X Mountain Lion version (Apple Mac OS X 10.8.4). A simple download and install, followed by a reboot did the trick as shown below.
- Open System Preferences from within the Apple menu.
- Choose the Network option.
- Highlight the network adapter that is causing difficulties and press the '-' sign in the bottom of the left hand column.
- Click Apply in the bottom right hand corner of the page to apply these changes.
- It is strongly recommended that you restart the computer to apply these changes.
- After restarting the machine, open the Network panel by repeating Steps 1-2.
- If the adapters which you previously removed have not appeared, you will need to press the '+' sign in the bottom of the left hand column.
- Choose the interface of the adapter that you deleted prior to restarting your computer and click Create.
- After clicking Apply, this adapter should be added and functional once again.

Tp Link Wireless Adapter Mac Os X
I'm upgrading my Linksys modem/router and the wireless adapter for my girlfriend's iBook and could do with some recommendations. I'm currently using an old Belkin 802.11b USB adapter and I'd recently bought a Linksys modem and adapter bundle that was on offer, however no Mac drivers for the adapter. There's no mention of Mac compatibility on Belkin's site for their new G and G+ adapters and couldn't find anything for D-Link or Netgear either.
Can you still get Mac compatible wireless adapters or I'm I better going for an Airport card? The price had put me off however I found some cheap ones on eBay, the only thing is that PC World (I know but bear with me) has some good offers on routers and adapters. I suppose I could always just sell the spare adapter if I bought one.
Anyway, just wanted to see what other people's experiences are.
Cheers,
Craig
