Advice on USB wireless adaptor for ibook G4

mwddrwg

Hi all,

Been lucky enough to acquire an ibook G4 laptop on Freecycle which kept suffering from kernal panic and shutting down. I did some research and came to the conclusion that it was the AirPort wireless card that was the cause so it's been disabled.

All seems to be stable now and it's staying switched on but I can't get on the net via wireless connection anymore (writing this with the Mac plugged in via Ethernet).

I've just bought this ASUS WL-167G v2 which I believe can work but I'm not sure which driver I need, where I can get it, or how to install it (being a bit of a Mac newbie).

Can anyone give me any pointers as to the above questions on the drivers?

Many thanks

Thanks Nifty, will give it a go when the adaptor arrives. Needs to be an old adaptor I reckon because the version of OSX on the machine is so old. Will report on how I get on.
