I've downloaded and installed the drivers, with Info.plist file in /System/Library/Extensions/ZD1211Mac.kext/Contents [there's also a ZD1215Mac.kext directory], and changed the Product and Vendor ID numbers to match what System Profiler shows (below) (converted to decimal), but the WLAN utility doesn't recognize the stick, and no new port shows up when trying to define a new port configuration via Network in System Preferences.
Is there something else I'm missing? or maybe this doesn't work with USB 1.1? Can anyone confirm or disconfirm?
many thanks,
Bill Benson

I've shot off an email to the people on this page:

...but it's probably a shot in the dark. Anybody care to post the latest drivers on a temporary server or send me a PM with contact information?

The first result from google gives this: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Drivers/Zydas-WLAN-USB-driver.shtml
I hope you weren't looking for a spoonfeeding were you?

- Tried the download link you gave me, which only points to the now defunct ZyDAS website. (Of course I'd already been there. I don't expect you to verify every download link, but please scale back on the sarcasm. I'm not a newbie and prefer not to be treated as one.)
- Read this thread - which makes the outer branding of the USB stick irrelevant. But fair enough, it's a 3Com 3CRUSB10075. I know how to go about modifying Product and Vendor IDs in order to make the generic drivers work.
All atheros.com and zydas.com.tw links I've found are dead and I have so far located no mirrors on the net - believe me, I have looked. This why I'm asking for somebody to either send me the most recent drivers or point me to a non-obvious mirror.
thanks again,
