MAC OS X Support - Network Adapter

I bought this adapter because of the low price and the OS X support as I don't think USB should normally be used in place of an installed network card. After reading other reviews from people having problems with OS X drivers, I went straight to the D-Link website and downloaded the latest drivers. Then I installed the drivers, powered off and plugged in the adapter. The MAC immediately recognized the network and I started wireless. On reboot, the MAC had trouble getting an IP address from the wireless router. To overcome this I assigned a static IP in the appropriate range. Once the connection was stable I added WEP. Seems to be working fine. I highly recommend this adapter as an inexpensive way to connect a MAC to OS X wirelessly.
