There's absolutely nothing on the box, in the instructions or on the D-Link products site concerning use with Macs, but there is a Mac driver on the D-Link Support site. I had read lots of bad things about it but figured it was worth a try. I found a D-Link DWA-160 dual-band USB adapter at a good price locally and thought I would try it. It worked, with speeds a bit faster than the original 802.11g, but it was slow to connect and even slower to re-connect after a sleep - if it would re-connect at all.
