Well thats a reallt weird problem...
From what I understood you need ndiswrapper to run the wireless card. Is it posible to do it natively. Its been a while since I've used ndiswrapper but it seems the kernel is already recognising the wireless card. Uninstall ndiswrapper and see if the system does load it manually. Otherwise I would recomend you post this on the ndiswrapper forums.

Mac Pro USB bluetooth dongle install?

Mac Pro 2006 with no Bluetooth card, I want to use my apple wireless keyboard/mouse and trackpad. Bought the IOGear GBU521 USB Bluetooth Dongle. I have a fresh install of Lion on an SSD Drive and another on a Hard Drive. I have no Bluetooth Icon in the System Prefs menus on either Lion Boot drive. I reset the PRAM, SMC and tried booting with Snow Leopard which also didn't have the icon. Will attempt reinstall of Lion. Hoping someone can help so I don't have to install a bluetooth card.

Sorry, I meant the GBU421. Got it initially as a cheap ($9 at the time holiday sale) experiment. I guess the DBT-120 would have been the second choice if the GBU421 hadn't worked. But it did so I never tried any others.
Note, I plug the dongle into the back of my 27" monitor so that it's within a 1'-2' of my mouse so there is no problems with the mouse. But with this dongle, and I assume any other (which is why I never tried any other), when I sleep my machine (I never shut down) the power goes off on the monitor and computer (which goes into a standby mode). This means no power on the dongle. So you cannot wake up your machine using with BT devices. I have a wired keyboard so I just hit a key on it to wake my machine up.
Another small "quirk" with the dongle. Maybe about 15% to 25% of the time the mouse will not immediately re-pair. Trackpad almost always does. So when that happens I need to flip the mouse power switch to "get the machine's attention". Then it re-pair shortly after. I've just learned to live with this "quirk". I assume other dongles may behave the same under these conditions. Interesting enough, the re-pair is immediate when rebooting.

USB Wireless Dongle Issues

I have a TP-Link TL-WN727N wireless dongle, which uses the rt2800usb driver. Unfortunately, I am having issues with it and it basically doesn't work at all. It will work for a minute before failing and after that, it won't connect at all.
I have no idea why it's not working, so can anyone help me?

Can't get dlink dwa-125 usb wireless dongle to work

Hi, I'm installing arch on my parents PC. I want them to try linux out but I've got a couple problems.
1) Firstly I can't get our dlink dwa-125 dongle to work. I checked aur out and saw that there was a package for a kernel driver, but it wouldn't install. So I got stuck there, I wasn't able to figure out how to compile the module myself. I tried downloading the source code from ralink http://eng.ralinktech.com.tw/support.php?s=2 . The version I require is for the rt3070.
2) I can't get the webcam to work in skype, it's a quickcam pro 5000. The camera works fine in luvcview and cheese, when I click on test in skype the camera led turns on but no picture, when I double click to get fullscreen it's just grey. I followed the guide here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_Setup and I tried
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
before starting skype but it didn't help.
Hope someone can help me get these two things running then my parents won't have a reason to keep starting windows.

1) you need to blacklist the rt3070 drivers. maybe this helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917
good luck

[Vox] USB TV Tuner install problem

I just reinstalled MSIPVS MSI8609 on my Dell XPS with Windows XP SP2, and in trying to record from my VCR, I see much banding and line-tearing at the bottom of the window. In addition, the video is out-of-phase.
I note there is an update driver on MSI's website. In addition, I've been told this update will install WinDVR 3. Is this right? If so, do I have to uninstall the previous version? Will this new driver correct the video problems? Or is it necessary to upgrade? Are there any other upgrades that I use?

Further to previous posting, I installed the drivers from http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=536&kind=10. I now have Win DVD 3, but with the device attached to the USB port, my system (Dell XPS WXP Pro SP2) it naturally will indicate it has found New Hardware and try to install the USB driver.
However, I'm stuck, because my system is searching to find the USB driver for this device. After extracting the zipped file for the 8609 driver, I clicked on setup.exe, a few files were installed, but on restart, it still can not find the driver. I even temporarily deactivated ZoneAlarm and Norton AV for the installation -- same results.
Is there an .inf file to complete the installation of the USB driver? I never had any difficulty installing a USB driver before -- it's a simple procedure -- not this one! Yet, installing the device from the CD, was no problem -- only with the new driver and software from the above URL. The device remain unplugged for your answer. Can you help?

D-Link USB wireless adapter

I have a D-Link wireless router and USB dongle package, it works with my windows laptops perfectly well.
I am looking for a way to use the USB wireless dongle with a G5 tower so I can use the Mac as a web machine.
There is a software driver for the dongle but I have no idea what information on the different tabs I should enter, so any ideas what this should be?
The user manual is for windows, there is information on how to set up for Mac, despite the inclusion of the Mac driver on the CD.
The dongle is a D-Link DWA-111, user manual here:
ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/wireless/dwa-111/DWA-111ManualEnglish.pdf
thanks for any help

hi....
i use a d-link dwl g122 dongle that has the same RT73 ralink chip.
the d-link driver that came with the CD just did one thing to my G5 powermac: kernelpanic!
after some searching on the web i found out, that it is best not to use the d-link driver at all, but to use the original ralink driver for the chip provided here:
http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=3
load the "USB(RT257X/RT2671/RT2500)" driver. that's the driver, that will give you the wireless utility as it is shown in BD's picture.
before you install it, make sure that you uninstall the d-link driver completely. there should be an uninstaller in the dmg or zip file, that was on the CD.
then install the ralink driver and after that connect your d-link dongle. the wireless utility should pop up after a minute or so, but first you've to go to the network preference pane and confirm, that there is a new port detected.
then you can go back to the wireless utility, that by then should be searching for available wireless networks in the site survey tab. choose yours and enter the password when asked. after that safe the connection to a profile.

Can i use a Usb wireless for my ibook?

Hi, Kimberly. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you mean a USB wireless dongle, the answer is yes (as long as it is Mac-compatible).

Missing USB driver / dongle for HP Wireless Elite Desktop v2

Hello there,
I recently lost my usb driver / dongle for my keyboard and mouse (HP Wireless Elite Desktop V2). I am unable to use both keyboard and mouse.
What is the solution for this problem. Can you send me a replacement usb dongle / driver. I sincerely appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards,
Samy Pal

Samy,
The Elite Desktop v2 uses Link 5 technology but my understanding is there is no individual Dongles available.
You would have to buy a whole new Mouse, etc, etc. to get a new Dongle.
You can always contact HP Support directly for your area/country and ask them yourself.

USB network dongle for wireless networking

Hi all
Just a quickie, I've just bought a mini, not wireless, thought I'd put an extreme card in it, but it's not to be, the wireless option is a rip off in the UK as a retrofit.
Has anyone managed to use a USB network wireless dongle?
I have seen a couple for sale on ebay, but I'm not sure about drivers etc?
tia
wilse

Hi wilse,
Few things that you might like to consider from my personal experience;
First, I guess, is if you can afford an airport card then its definately the best option without any shadow of a doubt (even if you fit it yourself - The Airport i user installable on virtually everything else and is very straight forward), I have a 12in iBook G4 (800) which i got Airport extreme for and it's constantly reliable and always fast.
Second, if you plump for the USB option I run a D-link Dwl-122 wireless adapter sticking out of my Powermac G4 450x2 which has been notorious for its poor driver support in the past but with the latest driver (From MacUpdate: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15997) I have no problems running it through the front pannel USB2 slots from a PCI card (i only say this as these are also notoriously difficult in old G4s but they're now happy together). I get a good reception on this card from 3 storeys away in a very high ceilinged Georgian house.
Thirdly, my mum also runs one the same USB wireless adapters on an iMac (flat panel USB1.1 from sometime in 2003) with the no problems with the driver above. The Dwl-122 is only wireless .b though so can only get connected at up to 11mps.
Fourthly (?), if i could put Airport Extreme cards in both of those Macs i would at whatever cost because its still annoying having bits stinking out in my opinion even if you are lucky enough to get a USB adapter with no conflics with your system setup (unfortunately nether are compatable with the AEX and Airport cards now go for upwards of £70 on ebay!!)
I hope all that helped somehow, as you can probably see i've spent many an hour battling with third party drivers for external devices, well done for having the foresight to ask first!!! I wish i had!
Anyway good luck with your decision and i hope you get a few more posts here before you make up your mind...

iBook G4 12in (800mhz, 640MB, 40GB) Mac OS X (10.4.3) Powermac G4 (Dual G4 450mhz, 768 MB, 20GB, PCI USB 2.0)

Trouble installing USB wireless adaptor & Network settings.

We have a 17" iMac flat panel, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. We just upgraded the memory to 1 GB. We're running 10.4.11
Dh wants to use his iPod Touch and share the internet connection with our G4. We purchased the following USB wireless adaptor by MAXPower:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
We installed the software, but cannot figure out how to set it up from there.
Never mind that for now. Dh says he sees a second computer in the near future and thinks we need a proper wireless network.
I was going to uninstall the MAXPower software and I can't figure that out either. I found the Uninstall icon, but it is asking me for a password. @@
The thing that concerns me is when I go to System Preferences---> Network, a window pops down saying "Your Network Settings Have Been Changed By Another Application". When I click OK, the window goes up, then immediately comes back down. I can't close the window, or close System Preferences without Force Quitting.
Dh is voting for bagging the MAXPower, getting an Airport Extreme Card and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
I want to fix the glitch in Network.
Ideas?

hey there chelap,
had a similar problem w/ an iMac 800 MHz G4. it was caused by me switching a USB printer to an Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g, from its port on the iMac-- iMac too old, it used 802.11 b. it changed "network settings". try d/c'ing the device & delete the software to see if this eliminates the annoying screen popping off/on.
i'm not familiar w/ this product you're trying to use but, in reading the product page it doesn't create a Wi-Fi network, it lets you use a Mac w/ out a Wi-Fi card to connect to a Wi-Fi network--this product isn't a Wi-Fi router which you need for what it sounds like you're trying to do. i agree w/ Dh about the AE card(can be found fairly lo-$$ on eBay & pretty simple to install), though this device may work once you have established a Wi-Fi network & the AEBS, even an Airport Express will work as a base station to create a Wi-Fi network. also sharing an internet connection isn't quite the same as having a local Wi-Fi network. having a local network provides more options like using the iPod Touch + the Remote app to control iTunes or Front Row(an app) should you run Mac OS X Leopard/Snow Leopard on this &/or a later model Mac(G5 or Intel) as well as stream audio/video, share other kinds of files to the 2nd Mac.
good luck.

Nano install problems. Works on USB 1.1!

Twelve months ago I went through the getting an IPOD to install properly problems with my son's IPOD, on his all singing all dancing new PC. Only finally resolved this by installing via the firewire port rather than USB. Therefore it was with some trepidation that I recently got a Nano for my wife's birthday, but hey I thought someone like Apple would have got their act together in the interim and installing should be straight forward. Have they? NO! Tried installing the Nano on my aging Pentium III which has a USB 2.0 PCI card, and for which all other devices plugged into it worked OK. Couldn't even get Windows to properly recognise it "A problem occurred during harware install your device may not be working properly". Tried Apple's suggestions and other users suggestions all to no avail. Firewire install option is not a possibility with Nano, but finally thought why not try one of the USB 1.1 ports on my aging computer, and guess what it installed first time and works without any problems. Transfer rate is not to bad either 850 songs in 1hr 10min. The only slightly different thing I did (which some other users also say) is not to re-boot the computer at the end of installation when it prompts you to and start using Itunes straight away and do some downloading then re-boot later.
Not much comfort to users with newer PC's but if you have an older computer with a USB 1.1 port and have install problems, try it as it may work for you as well.
Like every one else with install problems on PC's I say "come on Apple" individually or together with Microsoft please get this sorted out. My view of Apple was that they have great products (still true) that are easy to use (still true) and install without problems (patently not true).
Pentium III 800 Windows XP

Gosh, I have tried this many times. Over several days. I have also reset the shuffle, which as far as I can tell, consists of turning it on and then off.
Last night, it started updating the music via the keyboard USB 1.1, which I know takes forever. Then it lost communications and quit.

HP Photosmart 5520 Wireless Setup Wizard Hangs, USB fails to install

Hello,
I bought a HP Photosmart 5520 4 weeks ago. I installed it and setup a wireless connection. It worked for 1 week without flaws.
After a holiday my HP PS5520 printer lost its wireless connection to the network. I restarted the printer, still no wireless connection. all other devices like iPhones work OK on the wireless network. Tried to run the Wireless Setup Wizard again but the routine hangs (the spinner stops) when searching for routers and no networks are displayed, it hangs. Only a powercord detach can/will hard-restart the printer. After starting the printer, the printer complains that I should us the power butten, but that does not work when it hangs at the wireless setup wizard.
I tried this routine several times, but the printer hangs every time when searching for routers... Tried manual, reset factory defaults, reset network defaults etc... Wireless is simply impossible to use since it can not be setup.
So I tried to use the USB port directly attached to my PC. Since the wireless driver was installed, I connected the printer to the PC with USB but then it was marked as a unrecognised device by Windows 7. I tried to add the HP driver manually but when selecting the CD (inf), Windows tells me that the service stoppen (-10)...
So I installed the software from the CD which pointed me to the online version of the software which I installed. After selecting the USB radiobutton, it tells me to connect the HP PS 5520 which I did, but the HP install window failes to detect that the printer is plugged into the USB port and the printer is installed by Windows as an unknown device.
I uninstalled the 'unknown device' and tried again, wthout luck. Tried another USB port, Windows installed it again as an unknown device and the HP software failes to pick it up. So after googling I deleted all HP software from my computer (Intel I7 - 8 GB), uninstalled the unknown USB device from windows, rebooted several times, deleted all HP folders and cleaned all temp-folders (I am an IT professional!).
So, I installed the software again but when the HPO software asks me to attach the USB cable, Windows again installed the 5520 as an unbknown device and the HP software again failes to see that the printer is attached to the PC.
Tomorrow I will buy a new printer but since this HP 5520 is only 4 weeks old, I really want to knwo how I can fix
1 The issue that the HP printer hangs when searching for routers / wireless networks
2 Windows/HP software to find the HP 5520 through USB
I guess nobody will have an answer since Google does not give any help. This post is merely to expose my frustration that HP makes fine printers but failes to deliver issue-free software... I always have issues when setting up HP printers somehow...
Of coarse I hope that somebody has a clue..... Good night!

I have had my 5520 for a couple of years, when intermittently it has dropped off the wireless network, and I have had to reinstall the network. Now it does it every time I switch it on - it has lost the network and password. This is very irritating...
