IMac and USB

Receng56 · 04-28-2009, 12:19 PM

I have an Imac running 10.4 and a Safecom SWART2-54125 modem router. I want to use the USB port on the modem for internet connectivity as the LAN port on the Mac is used for another network. There are no Mac USB drivers for the above modem. Any idea's how I would connect this device?

without a driver for OSX, I doubt you can get it to work.. they only offer Windows drivers for that.

I have yet to hear of anyone using USB to connect to a network on a Mac unless the makers of the router/modem offer a driver.
