The DWL-120e, MA101 and Belkin pods are all Atmel-based and all work with the same atmel-wlan driver under Linux. I was hoping there was a generic MacOS USB-WLAN driver too :(
Some third party adapters are supported by Apple's (public source??) driver.
Only the PCMCIA ones. Seems nobody wants to support USB WLANs on Macintosh because everyone [worth bothering about] who has a USB portable system has an Airport slot.
You could save a few dollars over buying a supported product and spend man-weeks adding support for your device ;-).
Mmm.. yeah :) I don't know I have any man-weeks to spare. The only thing is, I already have all these pods in my desk drawer, so they are a sunk cost. (We bought them for compatibility testing with a product we make that has a USB port for WLAN connectivity; that's how I know what chipsets they are and what drivers they use under Linux).
