I bought a D-Link 122 (for 802.11b) USB adapter *specifically* because
it was advertised as working with OS X on the Mac. It didn't. After some
tussling with it, I went on the Web and found that enough others have
had the same experience that there was a site devoted to the subject and
an Internet petition for D-Link to refund money on the grounds of false
advertising.

Well, about nine months later they issued a driver that currently works
with OS X (10.3), at least for the moment. But that's nine months too
late.

I will never buy another D-Link product, period. Do not believe *any*
claims the company makes -- even when printed on the package. Don't buy
from them.
