Wireless N USB adapter?

[Errk!]

I have been looking in to upgrading my home wireless network to N from G and had a couple of questions.

I have a Netgear router now. I looked into the Linksys products and was told that the USB dongle doesn't work on Macs. I have been unable to find out if the Netgear N USB adapters work on Macs. Does anyone know?

I have a Macbook Pro and was also wondering how this works, assuming it does. Would I just turn off wifi on the MBP and plug in the USB N adapter?

Thanks for any help.

Just one Mac - a 1st generation MacBook Pro.

I think you can just buy the N-enabler?

The first gen MBPs didn't have wireless N. It was added in the rev Bs. OWC has a couple of N adapters guaranteed to work with Macs.

D-Links makes the DWA-140 rangebooster now (2 years later).
Problem solved.
drivers are not on the cd though. You have to download them from the d-link website .Extra software at ralink's website.
