Hello
I have two Devolo ("dLAN Highspeed Ethernet") and one Netgear ("wall
plugged ethernet switch xe104"). Both are "homeplug" devices and
operate well together.
I do not have a mac (never! ;-) but once the adapters are set up, no
software is required to run them. You could setup everything somewhere
else and then use the plugs at home.
I reckon one _must_ setup the plugs to build a "group" (you could have
several groups on the same power line).
Btw, here, the Netgear plug costs less than a devolo plug! I like the
netgear much more because it has a built in ethernet switch (4 ports)
and gets much less warm than the devolo (which gets rather hot).
The network operates at up to 85 mbit. I do not know if that is the
usable bandwidth or if parts of it is used for the protocol.
Two Squeezeboxes and the Slimserver are connected over these power line
adapters. No problem at all, just as if they were on the same switch.
Check the devolo homepage, they have a FAQ.
Regards,
flip
