Hi all,

I have a question. I have got a Mac mini 1,42 GHZ no wifi ( i think its a rev a mac Mini). Anyway, as you might know there are practically none USB wifi adapters for Mac OSX and I want to connect it with a D- Link DGL-3420. It's basically a console gaming adapter using the ethernet port. Here is the link http://www.dlinkexpress.com/express/...l-3420tec.html

The system requirements state OS 10.3.. nevertheless when I look into other online stores the specs only state PC requirements. Do you think I could make it work?

I looked at both sites and found none.. the only thing that could work , at least, as advertised is the gaming adaptor listed in my first post.
