Review on πŸ”Œ High-Speed USB 2.0 to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Adapter: Fast and Reliable Internet Connection by Donnie King

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not currently compatible with Mac OS X v. 10.4.8 and higher

The adapter does not work with my MacBook with OS X version 10.4.10 due to driver incompatibility. StarTech Technical Support advises that a "kernel change" starting with OS X version 10.4.8 is likely causing the incompatibility, and they have been working on a fix since July 24, 2007. Totally appreciated by a responsive, knowledgeable technical support team, but this product is not intended for Mac users in any other way: 1) imprecise installation instructions; 2) software provided on mini-CD will not play on MacBook (requires CD player pulling out drawer/cup holder); 3) Required installation files hidden in subfolders with Therefore, before ordering this USB Ethernet adapter, Mac users should check with StarTech to ensure the latest driver is compatible with your operating system version, and be technically savvy enough not to read the manual require.
