WiPi Windows Driver

Hi there.

I was just wondering, is there by any chance a driver for Windows XP, or Windows 7 for the USB WiPi dongle? I bought it for use with my raspberry Pi but wanted to find out if I could also use it for giving a PC termporary Wifi.

Thanks for reading

Thanks for the question, I am going to move this over into our Raspberry Pi group and see if anyone has had any experience with this.

I can confirm this definately works on Windows 7. I'm using it now!

It lists the hardware as being RT5370 so that is the driver you'll be looking.

This driver absolutely works. I set my wife up with a Wipi on Windows 7 just minutes ago.

Hiya

Mine comes up as a RALINK, and I got a driver
http://ganey.co.uk/uploads/IS_STA_RT2870_D-3.2.11.0_VA-3.2.11.0_W7-3.2.11.0_W8-5.0.0.0_RU-5.0.4.0_112912_1.5.24.0WP_Free…

for Win XP that didn't set off my A/V. So all seems right.

rt2870.sys
RaCoIinst.dat
RaColinst.dll

So my pair of WiPi's connect and work on my Pi, in XP and OpenSuSE as required.

Hi everybody,
does someone know if there is something for Mac OS X too?
Because it is said to be supported also by Mac but I can't find a driver anywhere,
thanks
