 Not 10.5 (Leopard) compatible July 24, 2008
I am returning it. I have OS 10.5 (Leopard) but the drivers on the installation CD are for 10.3 and 10.4 only. I could not find updated drivers on the Addlogix website. I would have waited for new drivers if I hadn't seen a review from 9 months ago making the same observation.

 Cheaper than rewiring your house! June 11, 2008
We didn't have an available jack in the bedroom, but this little thing got our Mac desktop on the network with hardly any problems.
We have a combined PC/Mac household, and this didn't seem to create any issues.
Not as easy as it sounds.... May 3, 2008
I'm giving this wireless adaptor one star to also warn the buyers that not everyone is going to be able to just plug it in and have it work, especially the Mac users with earlier machines like my G4. Additionally the support from Add logix is only online and slow in response. Because I can't stay at my computer indefinitely due to family life and having to go to work, it took me days to install their wireless adaptor. Like a previous reviewer, I ended up having to use a patch they emailed me, after struggling with the device for two weeks. Also the support team is not that sensitive to the average user who doesn't use computer terms or work with software installation on a frequent basis. They will use "encryption "code in one message, then "password" in the next, which can be confusing to the layman. Eventually the device worked properly; but for me it was after a long and frustrating ordeal; and I'm not a complete novice.
Worked just a few minutes after un-boxing! March 4, 2008
I had no problems getting this adapter to work.
1. Install drivers
2. Restart machine
3. Plug in USB adapter
4. Open and set network preferences
That was it!
Very recommended!
