It works on a PowerBook G4 running Leopard. There was no MacGyver-ing either. I plugged it in and it worked...period.

This product does work...

I have read a couple of reviews on this product where some have not been able to use this product. The adapter was originally intended to be used with the Macbook Air but with the recent update in Leopard 10.5.2, this will work as long as the computer you are using is updated to 10.5.2. I have tested this as well on a G5 and G4 desktop machine as well as the laptops.

I needed a USB adapter for my Mac Mini (lightning hit the built in adapter).

Ordered this one and it works like a champ.

I recommend it if you have a broken mac mini or laptop.

I purchased this device for my new Intel Mac Mini. I am using Leopard 10.5.2 and this adapter works perfect.

When I plugged the adapter into a USB port of my Mac Mini with the ethernet side plugged into my Time Capsule the network connection was made without any effort on my part.

I was able to change this from a DHCP to a manual configuration without any issues.

I rate this device 5 stars.

Great Product!

My home network is wireless, but at school, ethernet is the only way to go. This worked perfectly with my Macbook Air, and not surprisingly, it worked with my brand new aluminum imac as well. I'm assuming this has to do with the high powered usb ports. Anyway, just read the tech specs first. ONLY MADE FOR MACBOOK AIR. If ya wanna use it with OTHER MACS, PLEASE BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK

Buyer responsibility

As with all products, you read the description & product specs BEFORE purchasing. If you are sour after the fact & you chose not to read prior to purchasing... you are not a good candidate to own a computer.

Mine works as intended & without any issues. Also with bootCamp / windows xp I have complete satisfaction.

Works with more systems..

I was able to get the adapter to work with a MacBook Pro and MacBook.

It was bought because the ethernet adapter in the MacBook is broken and out of warranty... The adapter wouldn't work on the MacBook at first but it would on the MacBook Pro. The MacBook wasn't updated to 10.5.2 and when updated (via airport), the adapter worked fine.

It clearly says on the rear of the packaging: "Compatible ONLY with MacBook Air computers."

I'm not understanding what's so unclear. The packaging states it's only for the MacBook Air. This product works as advertised, it provides Ethernet through the high-powered USB port on the MacBook Air.

Works perfectly with MacBook Air.

This product works perfectly with my macbook air. Setup was quick and easy, all I needed to do was plug one end to my macbook air and the other end to an ethernet cable and I was instantly on the network. Please be advised, just as the label says on the package, this product is "Compatible only with MacBook Air computers".

Very UPSET THESE ONLY WORK WITH AIR after buying 2 of these and NO WORK

Written by RM from Ivoryton

This product is very misleading. Apple makes it sound like all you need is a usb 2.0 port and you can use this dongle but WRONG! Not until I got the product did I see the package said ONLY FOR MACBOOK AIR. I cannot use it on my regular macbook or even my macpro or any other usb 2.0 enabled mac that I have. This is very frustrating that apple would SHAFT us like this and charge 29.00 for something that only works with the air. I can buy a dlink or many others for 29.00 or less that will work with ANY computer including my mac or a macbook air. DO NOT BUY this product.
