I have a Dlink DWL-G122 USB Wireless Stub which works perfectly with
my Windows PC. Where can I find the driver for Mac (Tiger)? I
searched the internet and there are some posts saying it uses ralink
2500 chipset, therefore it's just a matter of downloading the 2500
driver from ralink. But it seems that that ralink website no longer
has this driver.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

so did I: Revision B does not seem to have support, Revision C has a
driver for Tiger:

international one)

It's an old MacMini without Airport Express (which I am not actively
using it). My kid wants to use it, but I figured it's probably not
worthy to have an Apple authorized people to upgrade the box. Do you
happen to know whether there is an Apple compatiable USB wireless stub
available?

I think mine is rev D (need to check when get home). Do you happen to
know any driver that works for that?

Revision B used the Ralink drivers. You can find them at their website.
Which chipset is in the revision D?

Not sure. But the MacOs seems to recognize it as MARVELL Wireless
Device V1.0.1.2
