I got this B-only (which I'm fine with) USB dongle. Its a D-Link DWL-122. Where do I download the drivers and all for it to work with OS-X.? I'm running leopard by the way.

What Mac do you have? How old is it? You probably have the best luck searching d link's site.
 
:p Its not a Mac. And I have Intel.


Anyways, if I do get a driver for it, How do I go about installing it on OS-X seeing as how I don't have internet?

So, basically, a hackintosh? LOL!

Since support for this device was dropped years ago by D-Link, you're not likely gonna be able to find a driver that works well with it for your hackintosh. Drivers written for Jaguar/Panther (PPC) don't always get along with Intel-based Leopard installations.

You can also try using one of those all-in-one 3rd party driver sets that may support that device.
 
Okay, what if I find a driver, how do I get it onto my "Mac"

ummm

Assuming that if you want to use this wi-fi device you have an access point nearby, so you can just plug in you Hack via Ethernet.

Or download it on another machine?
