Problema con adattatore wireless 802.11b non airport

[subspace]

mi hanno regalato un adattatore wireless usb della ROPER che ovviamento non ha driver per mac.
cercando ho scoperto che con un driver dalla dlink modificato poteva andare..
trovato il driver ho modificato secondo questa guida:

Generic USB Intersil 802.11b adapters on OS XGeneric USB Intersil 802.11b
adapters on OS X
Apparently, the D-Link drivers I use in this solution are buggy as hell, even
the actual D-Link brand dongles themselves hard lock the kernel after about
10-30 minutes. I have heard rumors that there are other PrismUSB drivers out
there for OSX. If anyone finds them, or has any other luck, let me know.
I was given information by David Purdy that there is a version 1.4.7 of the
Dlink driver that behaves much better. I couldn't find it at teh Dlink site, but
MacUpdate has it.
So, I picked up a pretty generic 802.11b adaptor recently. It is a Syntax
USB-400 and is based on the Intersil Prism 3.0 Chipset.
Now, I already have an Airport Extreme Card in my iBook G4, but I wanted to get
the dongle working under OS X (Panther OS X 10.3) so that I can plug it into my
family's iMac when I am home and jump on their network.
After much searching via Google, SeattleWireless, and the KisMAC website, I
discovered that D-Link makes a USB 802.11b adaptor based on the Prism Chipset
with OS X Drivers.
There was an earlier webpage that got a generic USB WiFi device working with
other drivers by modifying the Info.plist in the .kext bundle to have the USB
Vendor ID and Product ID of the adaptor you want to use. Well, this trick works
with the D-Link Drivers and the Syntax adaptor.
For ease of use, I made a diff file so that modifying the kernel extensions is a
bit easier with people who are not as comfortable with the commandline.
Plug in your adaptor
Fire up Apple System Profiler (Apple Menu -> About this Mac and click the
"More Info " button)
Click on the USB screen and look for a "USB Device" entry or something similar

Make a note of the Product ID and Vendor ID. The Syntax USB-400 is
Product ID: 516 ($204)
Vendor ID: 2407
Download the D-Link drivers. I used version 1.32.
Download the .diff file I made. If your Vendor & Product numbers were
different than mine, you will need to change the numbers in the 4 lines
starting with the + in the diff file. This file is plain text, so you can edit
it in TextEdit.
Install the drivers by double clicking the WirelessUsbDriver1.3.2.pkg in the
resultant folder after the download completes.
DO NOT reboot the computer just yet!
Instead, fire up Terminal (in the Utilities Folder) and type:

cd /System/Library/Extensions*
sudo patch -p0 < ~/Desktop/intersil.diff

If no errors appear, then you have successfully patched the extensions, and
you can now reboot. When you plug in your adaptor now, a new menuling should
appear on the right of the menu bar looking something like this .
Congratulations, you now have wireless ethernet!
After joining a wireless network with the "Wireless Adaptor" pane in System
Preferences, you might need to quit and restart System Prefs to get the
network interface to show up in the Network pane.
Notes: I make no guarantees that this will work for you. It is merely based on
my experience with the Syntax USB-400, OS X 10.3 Panther, and the D-Link
drivers. In fact, this might screw up your computer (though it shouldn't). If it
does, don't blame me. All trademarks &c. are owned by their respective owners.
Machine wash warm. Non-chlorine bleach only. Do not expose to flame. Keep out of
reach of children. Do not induce vomiting. If conditions persist more than 5
days, consult your physician. Offer void where prohibited. New Hampshire
residents may omit return postage.
*This is where .kexts are stored under Panther, for Jaguar (10.2.x and earlier),
I think it might be /Library/Extentions, but I'm not sure.

Il driver funziona, la wireless pure..
però quando riconosce la scheda succede qualcosa alla directory network...
non si apre più... sparisce l'icona dal menù....
cosa può essere??

[subspace]

up

[subspace]

nessuno può aiutarmi?
ora la periferica viene riconosciuta ma non funziona...
non risponde ai ping...

[subspace]

Ho risolto da solo.
era un problema di dns..
ora tutto ok...
a presto.

[subspace]

Risolto per modo di dire.... uffff......

La periferica viene riconosciuta....
Condivido cartelle e navigo.....
Ma dopo circa 10 min devo sconnetterla e riconnetterla xkè non naviga più anke se riconosciuta e connessa...
Alle volte appena stacco l'usb il mac si ferma e mi dice di riavviare brutalmente....
Cosa sta succedendo???
Perchè funziona per poco e poi più nulla??
Sarebbe più logico che non funzionasse affatto...

Consigli? suggerimenti??
Grazie.

[subspace]

Nessun parere??
O consiglio ???

Il problema principale rimane...
Quello della cartella network..
