802.11n
There are apparently no 802.11n USB doohickeys that operate on the 5GHz spectrum AND work on OS X. There are a couple that support 802.11n on the 2.4GHz frequency range, but using 2.4GHz is what I am trying to avoid because there are about 75 million 802.11g networks reachable from our living room.
I guess we can return this stupid USB dongle. I could have sworn I found someone on a forum talking about how it worked with one of the original, pre-.11n MacBooks somehow, but apparently that was full of shit.
But hey, this brand new Airport Extreme looks pretty! And I can hook up a hard drive to it later for phatty network storage.
Dear Any Company Who Makes USB Wifi Adapters,
Please start making dual-band 802.11n USB adapters that work on a Mac. No one buys PCs anymore anyway.
Love,
Tape
