Has anyone had any results in getting a USB wireless adapter to work?
Ive researched this alot and it looks like my Dynex USB adapter is not supported
by any third party osx86 drivers or anything. Its recognized fine in my System Profiler as:
802.11b/g LP/SC USB:
Version: 0.01
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Broadcom
Product ID: 0x0721
Serial Number: 43860000
Vendor ID: 0x4317
Is there any Kexts I could put the device id into?
Its a broadcom chipset like the aiport cards so I think it may work, I just dont know what kext to
manipulate to get this to work. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

You could give kismac a try to check out if it´s possible to communicate to your card with its built in drivers.
I don´t know much about broadcom chipsets.
I know Ralink and prism2 chipsets work quite good on real macs and osx86 machines too.
Broadcom 43xx, Ralink rt2500 and Ralink rt73 are included in Rev.2
Ca veut dire quoi zephroth?
J'ai une carte pci à base de RT2500, ca fonctionnera nativement sous SL?
Merci

I use a Belkin Wireless G USB adapter which works perfectly w/ Ralink drivers
