The message means that your originating wireless router has not recognized the Alfa and issued it with an IP number.


  • Have you installed the driver from the included CD?
  • Have you set it up to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)? Is the wireless router you are trying to connect to set to issue IP numbers through DHCP?
  • Is the wireless network name hidden so you have to enter it manually in the Alfa?
  • Is the router set to accept only connection from specified devices (so that you have to enter the MAC address of the Alfa?

You would have to set up the wireless connection in the Alfa's controls, rather than in System Preferences, and you would either scan for the network name and join it using the password (if any - and if there isn't one there should be) or enter the network name and password. I'm afraid I can't advise on exactly how to do that - if it's not self-evident it's something you would have to take up with the manufacturers (unless anyone else on here just happens to have the same device).
