Let's do this as a combined thread for WLAN drivers and problems.
I want to use this first post as a download-page, so if you have anything what's working whisper it to me and I add it here.
Of course I can't test all drivers, it would be good if there're people who can do this.

D-Link DWL-G122, A big driver with own preferences pane. Uses RaLink driver packages. Links are in italiano:

I acutally need a driver for my D-Link DWL-G132. It has an Atheros 5005UG chipset, device ID is 0x3a03, vendor ID 0x2001.
Ther <should> be a driver for OS X, I read it in a forum with a rather new date. I contacted D-Link for this.

I have two Asus systems, the first one is Wl-167g (USB-Ralink Chipset) and the second is WL-138g v2 (pci-Broadcom Chipset, detected like a third party Airport) works like a charm..19+19 € ( Alternate )

Yes, but's only 54 Mb/s. I'm searching one with 108 Mb/s.

I own a D-Link DWL-G122 but I have not been able to get it to work with my OSX 10.5 Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 install.

I have tired the drivers from
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html
and after they install i have the preference window option, but I am unable to see the device when it is pluged in. I have tried unplugging it and replugging it in, but it is still not seen and none of the lights turn on.

I have looked at the "about this Mac" under USB and it says that a
Marvell Wireless Device is there
Device V.1.0.1.2
Product I.D. 0x3b01
Vender I.D. 0x07d1

any one know what i can do to make this work?

[edit] other USB devices DO work, USB card readers and mouse, and keyboard

thanks!
