Well, there's a happy ending to every story.
ZyXEL still sells and supports ZyDAS-based sticks, and what do you know - drivers are available. You can find links over at InsanelyMac. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.p...34071&hl=zydas Of course you'll still have to follow the excellent instructions at the start of this thread if you, like me, have a different product and vendor ID.

However, there are a lot of people who have old Macs repurposed as servers that can't take Apple's own (discontinued) AirPort 802.11b cards (or one can't afford the second-hand market ones), and in several markets you can't get other brands of USB sticks with proper drivers. The ZyDAS-based sticks make sense as long as you can't get anything else and have have a machine that doesn't need to restart frequently - or sleep. Mine finally worked great today with the latest drivers, and that was with TKIP/WPA encryption. EDIT: Yes, I am aware of mail order and the availability of other drivers but they are usually just as finicky. Besides I got a ZyDAS-based stick as part of a router bundle.

My excellent Westell ADSL modem (400 plus simultaneous TCP/IP connections) didn't like Bulldog's ADSL 2+ hardware - go figure, forward compatibility was the reason I bought it - so I had to get something else quickly. The 40-something pounds for my 3Com router including ZyDAS stick was good, and I must say the modem has performed admirably (against all expectations). The USB stick itself is junk. However it now works as a nice backup for when Bulldog, sorry, Cable & Wireless decide to take a day off. Which happens frequently in Shoreditch, London. |
