The Alfa has a driver disk for Mac & Windows
It will work with most anything that has USB 1.1 or 2.0.
For USB 1.1, you have to use the included cable that has 2 ends to plug
into the computer, because of the power limitations of USB 1.1.
My thinkpad and Toshiba laptops don't require the internal WI-FI to be
disabled to use the ALFA.
I got the hi gain omni-directional antenna to use with it, and tossed my
WiFire directional USB adaptor because the Alfa is more convenient and
works at a greater distance.
