I don't see any info on Dlinks website for Mac support for this product or drivers for it?

I saw several advertised products at macmall that are wrong and the main manufacture states no support.

I have the Linksys 54mbps one, and it's working great. Of course, the whole network is based off Linksys parts, so that might explain it :)

Drivers are available...


obviously this are direct drivers from the company that created the device for Dlink.

Pretty much. They're not perfect, but I haven't had many problems with the newer ones.

yeah, thats why i have to physically look at the box, usually Dlink puts it on the outside.

Unlike just about every manufacturer. That's why I picked the DLink over anything else. ;)

I stopped by Best buy just to take a look this weekend and they had several of the b1 revision in stock.
