I bought this network adapter extremely cheaply on ebay. I realize this was a mistake now because after it came I found it didn't come with the drivers and another site was offering it cheaper with the drivers.

I've gotten some advice from a friend that these cards are just terrible but I am still willing to get it to work.

I'm running mac 10.3.9. is there a driver package download I can use? maybe even the specific driver somewhere out there?

if this does not work I am probably going to have to spend the money and get an air port. Just saying so nobody wastes a reply reading "just get an airport".

Ralink RT2870/RT2770/RT307X/RT2070/RT3572 USB Network driver 3.0.0.0 software 32836

[edit]
the one thing I did that believe to be important :
The program that comes with the drivers is garbage. it's clunky and slow and may have potential to cause crashes.
once the drivers are installed the computer will recognize a new ethernet port. just use that.

works so far.
