I just called amdsb.com.my, the main distributor for this:

PCi W-US54Mini2G

the representative confirmed to me that, they already shipped this to AllIT Hypermarket.

However, during last sat's gathering... I went to check w Revvy+andy and we found nothing. Perhaps they are still updating their inventory database.

anyway, I'm going there for lunch to check again.

Price should be around RM69, since now they have PCi Mid Year Special!!!

Looks like a really nice WiFi adapter you got there (I like the packaging). Anyways, I'm also using a USB WiFi adapter. If you need help in setting up, you know where to find me on MSN ler smile.gif

no~lah. Swat didn't help me... he only help bully me! cry.gif

anyway, the usb wifi supposed to recognise my laptop as the source of internet. However, it keep picking up signal from the wireless router in the living room, which is very weak signal for my room.

I really lost now... rclxub.gif

'cos this is a new product, not much review/troubleshoot from web, and the manual for OSX is only 6 pages... rclxub.gif


DAMN! I wish the Nintendo USB Wifi Adapter is available for OSX... sad.gif

bad news... sad.gif

after so many trial and errors... I wrote an email to a few parties, and I've got replies from them.

The MY Distributor very nice, he forwarded my questions to SG Support, and they've emailed me the steps. But serve no purpose, as I got another reply from their Tech Support in Taiwan:
QUOTE
Dear Sir:
Sorry~ Software AP (Access Point) mode only support windows OS,
MAC OS only support wireless adapter mode.
If you want to change GW-US54Mini2G to AP mode, please build it on windows
OS.

Thank you very much

Best regards
Andy


My reply to them:

I purchased GW-US54Mini2G for the following reasons:
1) it's built for "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" and "PSP XLink Kai";
2) and it support OSX (PowerPC);

I feel cheated, as these info printed on the packaging and website is
very misleading.

I'm guessing their Marketing "geniuses" don't realize that the Software AP mode is a requisite for the Nintendo DS Wifi Connectivity. That would explain why there's no disclaimer on their site regarding NDS online game support.

Can get your money back, penman?

ya man! it's a SCAM!

I doubt I can get money back... after all I bought from a retail shop... cry.gif

don't get me wrong guys~

if you are running on WinXP, this is really a good product. rclxms.gif it's really easy to install.

For my case is different, 'cos I'm a Mac user, and that makes me a victim of Marketing Scam... mad.gif vmad.gif
