Wireless USB drivers for Intel C2D iMac

Like many people I have been having wireless problems on my Intel C2D iMac so I have decided to try and side step them by using a Netopia wireless USB adapter. The problem is I have no drivers for it. According to the Netopia Mac drivers are available from "third parties" but give no information on what third parties or where to look for them.

Can anyone help me with this?

Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello OverHaze

I Googled "Netopia" lots of info there! Maybe you have looked at this link, go to: Support / Ask Netopia?

http://www.netopia.com/index_en.jsp

Or this one

No cant find anything, Netopia only point to the mysterious unnamed third parties. Does any know where I can pick up third party OS X USB wireless card drivers?

If you want to avoid the Apple airport route - a better alternative is a Wireless Ethernet bridge.

These plug into the ethernet port and look to the computer like a standard ethernet connection. Consequently they don't need drivers - so all of them will work on the Mac.

Apparently the Airport Express can be configured to behave as a bridge.
