[QUOTE="milanovich, post: 1509044, member: 299631"] First off the usb card I have is by SMC -model is smcwusbs-n3 . What do I do when I download the driver Im not fmilar with macos these days and its not nearly as simple as adding hardware in windows., seems the control panel /preferences is kinda dumbed down and locked down. So Say the 09 adapter driver works what do I need to actualy see the networks and connect to them on my mac thru mac os. My second question is is there away for me to use bootcamp for linux? And when I use bootcamp for windows will it allow me to use devices that are windows only like the wifi adapters I have that are not mac friendly. Is this an operating system issue or hardware related? As for internal wifi working in vmware I have heard the opposite when researching when couldnt get any wifi signals from my internal card running backtrack linux distro in vmware fusion, I can try parrallels but from what ive read alot of newer macs are having issues with this and alot of people are having to go buy mac friendly adapters for their virtual machines. Do you have skype? If you dont mind maybe it would be easier talking thru there and I can screen share what im going thru? My skype ID is russiansecret1 if you want to speak there I'd appreciate it. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
