Is it possible to use linux drivers to get a pluscom USB to ethernet adaptor to work.

I'm grasping at straws here, the adaptor it seems has only linux and windows drivers and I'm avoiding having to return it, given the dramatic difference in price between these adaptors and the official apple onese for a device with the same functionality it'd be best to get these working. I found an open source website with drivers for other brands which are said to work for devices not of the particular brand the driver is said to be for as well but there's no guarantee. I'd try these out but none of those on offer are for the right chipset (ADM8515) so I think it would be very risky to try running drivers that are open source, not from the developer, and are for a different chipset.
The cd that came with the device has linux drivers, Mac OS x and linux are in a way based on the same architecture, is there a chance these drivers are installable and would work with Mac OS x 10.6.8?

Yeh Great thanks, anyone have any real answers? Incidentally it isn't my machine which shouldn't really be of any importance to the discussion as I'm asking for technical advice about the Mac OS x system. But yeh thanks your glib remarks help a great deal.

  • Can I use LINUX Drivers in Solaris 10...

    As a beginner, I have installed Solaris 10 version 08/07 onto my system. The motherboard is ASUS M2A-VM, with integrated graphics, network interface, audio, etc...
    My audio and network interface are not working... The motherboard came with a cd which has windows drivers and additional software.
    It also has linux drivers for:
    Audio:
    Core5
    Core6
    Linux
    RHEL4
    SUSE10
    Other
    realtek-linux-audiopack-4.05f
    LAN
    FreeBSD
    Linux
    SCO_OpenServer6
    Unixware7.x
    Chipset, and RAID!
    Has anyone used any of these ASUS Linux drivers with Solaris...
    If so what steps do I need to take to get them to work on my system! (I hate to ask, I know you all have better things to do) Maybe you can point me to a good book that explains how to go step by step...
    My question is how do I get my NIC to work (What steps do I need to follow? the sound is not an issue, as, I can do with out that. Will any of the drivers mentioned above work?) thank you in advance for your answers...

    Drivers are the "connective tissue" between the Operating System and the hardware. The connections from the drivers to the OS are not compatible between different operating systems, so no, you cannot use Linux drivers in Solaris.
    If the OS is similar enough you can sometimes get away with it -- example, using Solaris 9 drivers in Solaris 10. But between completely different OSes? Won't work.

  • Is it possible to use a Script within an action? - it doesn't seem to work...

    Is it possible to use a Script within an action? - it doesn't seem to work...
    I'm using the 'round any corner' script from SATO Hiroyuki..., and  I'd like to apply it to only one anchor point (on multiple boxes)

    An Action can call a script from the File>Scripts menu by means of the Add Menu Item Action step. But it will only work for the duration of your Illustrator work session. If you quit AI and then restart it, the Add Menu Item step will be blank. This bug has been reported for FOUR FULL VERSIONS of this sloppy program.
    However, if I am correctly understanding your description of what you are trying to automate, an Action will not be able to automate the selection of a particular anchorpoint in multiple paths. You'd have to make the selections all at first. Whether the script would then apply as desired to each path depends on how the script is written.

  • Possibility to use new Mac mini with an USB-DAC?

    Anybody knowing anything about the possibility to use the new Mac mini with an USB-DAC. My reason for the question is that I've heard that USB3 doesn't handle sound. I'm thinking about to buy a mac mini and use it as an HTPC and signalsource together with NAIM DAC-V1.
    // Rode orm

    What I have heard that there are a few USB2 audio devices that
    have had some issues with USB3, but USB3 itself is supposedly
    backward compatible to USB2.
    I would check with the makers of the DAC to see if there are any
    USB3 issues.

  • Using jump menu in one frame to open page in another frame - works in IE but not Firefox

    Hi,
    I'm a beginner designer. I've been working to create a template for a website in which there is a banner in a frame across the top and three frames beneath - left for navigation and middle and right for content that can be compared.
    I have created two jump menus in the left frame using Dreamweaver's option for it (insert/forms/jump menu): one menu to load pages in the middle frame (in the code this is 'left') and one menu to load pages in the right frame (in the code this is 'right'). Both menus use a go button.
    Using Internet Explorer and allowing active content to run it works fine. In Firefox clicking 'go' does nothing however I have links in this navigation that will open a page in the middle or right ('left' and 'right') frames and if I use these the jump menus will now work.
    How can I get it to work straight off?
    Any feedback is welcome (except regarding not using frames!).

    Given that it doesn't work initially in Firefox then it does once I load a page in the destination frame I decided to create a page with a link to the frameset. Using the link to get to the frameset the jump menu now works perfectly. Must be one of the wonders of using frames. Well I guess that's solved but out of curiosity, any ideas for why it wouldn't work when the frameset is loaded on its own?
    It might be due to the fact that you're using XHTML 1.0 Transitional, a DOCTYPE that does not support framesets. Try converting to HTML 4.01 Transitional or HTML 4.01 Frameset if you do not need or understand XHTML. Or use XHTML 1.0 Frameset if you really need XHTML.

  • Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

    iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

    Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

  • Is it possible to use an Audigy and Xfi at the same ti

    Hello, this is my first post in the forums.
    I have using Creative soundcards since many years ago, and all of them are working today.
    Now, in my primary there is an Audigy, mainly used with Debian Linux, working wondefully, and some Windows time for games.
    I'd like to use a Xfi, but the promised Linux compatibility is still on the horizon, so, is it possible to install a Xfi along my Audigy, using only the Audigy in Linux and the two soundcards on Windows (Xfi with headphones and Audigy with surround system Creative P580)?
    Will there be a driver conflict of some sort (in Windows) ?

    I'm running into the same problem. While it is possible to create an aggregate device using Apple's Audio MIDI setup utility, the Mac doesn't see both microphones. It only ever sees the second one that's plugged in.

  • Where are the Audigy 2 ZS Linux Drivers?????????????????????????????????????????

    I Just recently installed Fedora core 4 on a partition on one of the Raids and discovered I cannot find a creative Audigy2 zs linux driver anywhere? I have found a all in one alsa driver set but so far no success, and i'd prefer not to use non certified drivers on the audigy2 due to hardware failing on me in the past because of bad drivers. Why is there a Linux section in the drivers area and no linux drivers? eh common if you haven't coded linux drivers after the ammount of time the audigy2 zs has been released for ... then why you guys are going to have to have the proverbial finger removed from the preverbial arse and support your customers ... I've seen 00's of questions in forums about creative drivers for linux ... if you guys are going to be racists and only code microsloth / bloatware then I think i'll be more than happy to chuck the audigy2 on the junk pile and use the evil on board ac '97 which HAS Linux drivers....

    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production The stored procedure adds a row to a table. There's a trigger on this table that fires when this occurs. This trigger uses DBMS_SCHEDULER to run a job. This job executes a C executable program on a remote server. When the C program finishes, it updates a field in a table in the database (using OCI driver) indicating the job is complete. The stored procedure needs to see this flag has been set showing the job is complete in order to continue.
    In a nutshell, the C program produces a lot of other results, and the stored procedure retrieves these results to send back to the calling java program. Of course, it must wait until the results are ready in the database before retrieving them.

  • Is it possible to use a camera phone as your webcam?

    I have a Nokia N73 camera phone is it possible to set it up to use it as my camera for iChat?

    My reply would be .....
    It will depend on the type of Output the camera has.
    It may just be possible to use the iChatUSBCam Utility http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/ which does have a trial period.
    As the camera is unlikely to have Mac Drivers it is less likely.
    Although iChat may see it as being Self contained like a Camcorder and the format will be the key if the input is over USB.
