I figured it out for the Linksys AE1000 to run on Lion.

1. Download the newest driver from the ralink homepage
2. modify the info.plist file by adding this:

Linksys – RT2870 – 3

CFBundleIdentifier
com.Ralink.driver.RT2870USBWirelessDriver
IOClass
RT2870USBWirelessDriver
IOProviderClass
IOUSBDevice
idProduct
47
idVendor
5041

3. run “KextUtility 2″ (search it on google)
4. restart

WORKS

I don’t know if anyone has realized this, but when i try to download the latest driver from Ralink, it shows up as a bash script, but it is really a dmg and has new drivers in it. :\ I’m trying it now and seeing how it goes. I am using a linksys ae1000 on lion and have found no joy using the 2.0.0.0 driver.

I got the AE1000 working with the latest RT2870 drivers on 10.6.8. The only modification to the above instructions is to change idProduct integer from “113″ to “47″, not “121″. The System Profiles listed the Product ID as 002f – I converted it from hex to decimal and got 47. Works perfectly. Thanks for getting me started Dossy!

The original entry got garbled. Guess the editor doesn’t like XML entries!

I don’t know. If they truly are identical, then I would imagine these steps should work. Couldn’t hurt to try — if it works, great, if it doesn’t, you’re no worse off than when you started.

If it does work, I’m sure everyone would appreciate it if you could let us all know. Thanks!

Do these instructions work for the Linksys AE1000 wireless N USB adapter?

According to what I’ve read the AE1000 is identical to the WUSB600N

Hurray !
got it working in Lion also (I loaded the kext manually in the terminal … sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/RT2870USBWirelessDriver.kext )

Thanks .
