im not very sure if they do one for OSX because i dont use it anymore cause im on a built in card but when i was on my old mac i downloaded a program called ORINOCO. it takes any card you have, finds a signal and away you go. but im still not sure if you can get it for osx. either way if you cant then you can probably find a similar program from google. or torrent somat
