I'm new with macosx, I got the leopard 10.5.7 booted. I have airlink101 150n pci wireless card, downloaded the Ralink 2870 driver, and after installing the driver, Ralink control panel shows my network connecting and running very well. It even sees other wireless network around my house.
But when I deploy the safari browser, it doesn't see the wireless connection at all. Just the ethernet which I don't connect.
Do I have to do something else for Safari to see the "connected" wireless from Ralink control panel?

Thanks,

Louis

Author Update #1 @ltooz_audis 2010-05-14

Found solution... System preferences, network, ethernet add. Wireless connection other than airport is detected as ethernet.

Fast internet... amazing

Cheers,

Louis
