Of course I can't test all drivers, it would be good if there're people who can do this.

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.
Which USB-Wireless-Stick is working fine on OS X ? My DWL-132G is not supported
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… ↗
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
