Hi, I would like to get a USB wireless N dongle for my old PC, easy enough to do I was going to go with a Linksys WUSB600N but then realized I might as well get something that is Mac compatible so I can sometimes use it on my old PowerBook.

After doing some research I found out that newer TrendNet dongles and some D-Link dongles are Mac compatible. I don't know about TrendNet because they always seemed a little cheap, I've used D-Link routers before and they're ok but the dongles compatibility with Macs seems to depend on the hardware revision.

Are there any other brands who make Mac compatible wireless N USB dongles?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the responses, I just ended up buying the Linksys WUSB600N and discovered that it uses a Ralink chipset so I installed the Ralink Mac OS drivers for that specific chipset and now I can use the N on my PowerBook.
