Try the drivers provided by ralink. They were the -first- usb wifi drivers to work on the intel macs and they work great with the d-link stick. I've been working on kismac support for these devices but don't hold your breath.

In addition, the DWL-G122 is NOT supported by D-Link _at all_ on Intel-based Macbooks. They have PowerPC drivers only. Been emailing them for a while on the subject. :-/

yes they are different.  The one with G supports 802.11g but is not
compatible with kismac.  The one without G is 802.11b only and is
supported by kismac.

I can't use any other XP packet software - so clearly Apple isn't making it



any easier on purpose.











Can you suggest a cheap USB wifi adapter that would be a good fit?


Preferably something I could get for under $30 online? Preferably Prism2 so



that I can do packet injection. I believe there is a Linksys (WUSB11 - or



something like that) that uses prism2.

I think the MacBook wifi driver isn't quite working at the moment.

details, NONE of these packets (I've let it run up over 1 million packets in

but I don't see why I would never ever capture any data. At first I thought

If I'm capturing from access points that are BEING USED at that moment, how


can there be no data?











What's going on here - is this normal?
