Mac OS X installation instructions

Plug in the USB adapter AFTER you have installed the driver

We will email you the lastest Mac OS drivers upon your request.
The name of the disk image is
MacOSDriversForPandaWirelessNUSBAdapter.dmg

If you click the .dmg file after you save it on your hard disk,
you will see four folders (USBWireless-10.3 [Panther],
USBWireless-10.4 [Tiger] and USBWireless-10.5
[Leopard], USBWireless-10.6[Snow Leopard]) in the disk image.
i.e. If you are running Mac OS X 10.5, you go
into USBWireless-10.5 folder and click to run the pkg file
to invoke the software installer to install the driver.

Please follow the instructions from the installation software to
install the driver.

You can plug in your USB adapter after the software installation
and Mac OS will recognize the USB adapter automatically.

You may need to use the Airport/Ralink Utility to configure the
USB adapter to match the settings of your own local WiFi network
before the Panda Wireless-N USB adapter connects to your network.
(Ralink Utility will be in your application folder after the software installation)

You can see the folder structure of the DMG file above.
(Click to enlarge it)

Please ignore the "802.1x Instructions on Mac OS X.pdf" file in
the folder. This file is for advanced users who want to set up a
secure channel with Radius or Funk Odyssey Server.

12/4/2009 Update: You will encounter an error at at the end of
the software installation. (See the error screen below)
if you are running Mac OS 10.6.2 on your iMac.
Please email us "pwsupp@gmail.com" for more instructions.

*** 2/14/2010 Update ***
According to Ralink's website:
"If you got install failed message, please re-install again
until success. Because it is a bug on Snow Leopard. There is
no install setting for OS 10.6 on install tool."

One of our customers said "I'm happy to report that on the
fifth or sixth installation attempt, it worked! It is UP and
running. Thanks for the tips!"

Please contact us for further instructions if you couldn't get
it working after updating to the latest patches for Mac OS X
10.6 and multiple install attempts.
Here is how to check that you are connected to your own
wireless network: Run the Ralink Utility and click
"Site Survey" tab and you should see the Wireless-N
USB adapter is connected to your own wireless network.

*** 4/17/2010 update ***
For Mac G3 users only:
If you are running Mac OS X 10.4 on your Mac G3 machine,
you need to have a special Mac installer which is different
from the one on our web site.

Please contact us to get the special Mac installer.

Automate the Ralink Wireless Connection on Mac OS X

This is for advanced Mac users only. (We put the link
here for your reference)

You need to write a script to take care of the login after
power up reset.

*** 5/20/2010 Application Note ***
The Panda Wifi adapter doesn't connect to Apple Airport
Extreme Base Station on channel 11 when it is configured
to use WPA2+AES.

The Wireless Utility doesn't support the feature to make
the Panda Wifi adapter lock to Channel 11 permanently.

It is a well known problem for Apple Airport Extreme Base
Station to use channel 11 for WPA2+AES. Therefore, the only
possible solution is to use the Wireless N routers from vendors
like Netgear, Linksys and others.

*** 11/6/2010 Update ***
We start to sell mid to long range WIFI adapters on Amazon.com for
Mac machines which use PowerPC G3, G4, G5 and Intel Processors.
In addition, all the Panda Wifi adapters are interchangeable. It means
you can use any of our Panda Wifi adapters depending on your needs
once you have install the driver on your Mac machines.

*** 1/16/2010 The Panda Wifi adapter works with Hacintosh ***
Our customer reported that he has successfully installed the Mac
driver and run the Panda Wifi adapter with his Dell Studio laptop
which was made to be a dual boot (Win 7 and Snow Leopard) machine.

His Dell Studio laptop is running Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 with 2GB main memory. He initially reported that Mac recognized the Panda Wifi adapter but
will not run. He later figured out that the IONetworkingFamily kext was
not in the right place and he moved it to the /system/extensions, and
the Wifi connection worked.
