How do I get D-Link USB Wifi to work with Mac OS X?

Asked by gatewoodtech in Apple Networking, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters

Tags: Apple, PowerMac G4, and USB wifi from D-Link WUA-1340

I have an Apple PowerMac G4 without an airport card, and I was able to install my spare D-Link WUA-1340 USB wireless adapter, but I cannot seem to get assigned an IP address from my Motorola WR850 router. DHCP is working fine with other wireless and wired network devices, and I can connect to the router with 99% signal.

The utility and driver did not come with instructions on how to set up the psuedo Ethernet adapter that is "required" for the adapter to work. I have tried a manual address, DHCP, and DHCP with Manual Address. Still no IP assigned.

Has anyone here successfully set up this combination? D-Link provides the driver but absolutely not support. The installation ends with "configure your ethernet adapter".  Start Free Trial
