Just in case anybody is interested in buying a cheap USB Wifi dongle to replace an Airport card.
I bought a Belkin F5D7050 at BestBuy for $35.00 because some stupid guy from Belkin told me that they have a driver for Mac OSX.
When I got home I downloaded that driver and noticed that it said 10.3, but I tried it anyway but naturally it would not work.
Long story short I came across a company called Ralinktech which claimed to have a driver for their dongle for Tiger, so I downloaded it Here.
And installed it and it freaking works. :eek:
When you go to the Ralinktech site the driver you want to download is RT2571W/RT2671.
I hope this will help some people here.
