I forgot to mention you can buy an ALFA R36 to use with the RTL8187L to make it compatible with Mac 10.8+, Windows 8, 7, XP as it uses a localhost based interface through ethernet or WLAN. It might be out of the price of most people. About $55.00 USD But remember that the RTL8187L is very slow compared to the AR9271 or RTL8188RU. I currently have my ALFA R36 connected to my AWUS036NHR with good speeds 🙂 This post (not the entire thread) explains that you can also setup a VM to get your RTL8187L to work also. To all people: I received my Alfa AWUS036H yesterday and I was sad that mac os x 10.8.3 (a so to windows 8 in parallels) didn't work with it.

In windows 7 at the same parallels, no problem despite monitor software was not able to be installed, but signal of wifi increased a lot. Today I downloaded a new drive and monitor (beta, may not work to someone). In a forum , they ask to delete former drive/monitor and install the new one. At mediatek site, they are confuse (maybe translation troubles), but you have USB RT 3x7x ( Alfa AWUS036H uses RT 3070 chip) drive. After click in this option, they ask your name and e-mail to start download. I installed the software and re-started mac. In Applications, there was a new folder - Ralink wireless utility.
Clicking on WirelessUtility, a new icon appeared at top bar. So, then you click and select open wireless utility. Then, you conect usb with Alfa AWUS036H. Worked, monitor showed a increased wifi signal. Then, you can create one profile, save password, etc. @ JTKDSP ( Alfa AWUS036H uses RT 3070 chip) The Alfa AWUSO36H has an RTL8187L Chipset and NOT a RT3070 chipset The RTL8187L is made by Realtek, the RT3070 by Ralink If your Alfa AWUS036H has a RT3070 chipset, it's a knock off. You'll find plenty of them on cheap chinese websites.
The sensitivity of the RTL8187L is by far superior to the RT3070, almost like comparing WIndows to OSX, you just don't. П˜‰ Realtek has stopped the RTL8187L support for the drivers after 10.6.8. (The last version for Realtek Utility was 1.5.7 2008 ) I am not aware on any tricks to make an Alfa AWUS036H work on 10.8. If anyone does, please let me know. @ Annoyed123 But remember that the RTL8187L is very slow compared to the AR9271 or RTL8188RU One is b/g, the others b/g/n.
I do love China (kkkkk!!!!!) more and more. I bought at dealextreme.com in 2013, january. Website ( ) shows AWUS036NH outside box, but I received AWUS036H box (that is RTL8187L and exactly box I received - ). NH has RL3070 ( ) and accept firmware upgrade, what it is necessary to work with windows 8 or mac os x 10.8. Soon after review (badly) the product, original sku was removed from dx.
Conclusions: 1) description of website is not entirely trustable; 2) you can receive a better or worse product other than you bought; 3) firmware worked correctly BECAUSE it is RT 3070; 4) if consumer review is a disapointment, they remove it. Apple Footer.

Just tried ivik's driver, same problem, compile and insmod ok but interface is not showing up dmesg: rtlieee80211crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' rtlieee80211crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP' rtlieee80211crypt: registered algorithm 'WEP' rtlieee80211crypt: registered algorithm 'CCMP' Linux kernel driver for RTL8187 based WLAN cards Copyright (c) 2004-2005, Andrea Merello rtl8187: Initializing module rtl8187: Wireless extensions version 21 rtl8187: Initializing proc filesystem usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187. I wasn't previously aware that there is a rtl8187B device that differs from the rtl8187L.

The rtl8187 driver here was written for the rtl8187L and if you browse the svn repositry you will see that at revision 28 the realtek rtl8187L sources were merged in. The fact that Realtek have a different driver for the rtl8187B is a bad sign.
It suggests that a different driver is required (it could be that the rtl8187B is compatible but they want a driver that uses its extra features). The reason that you are not getting a wlan0 device is that one is only created by the rtl8187 driver when it finds hardware it knows about. The hardware known by the driver are those listed in the table rtl8187usbidtbl in file r8187core.c. Use command 'lsusb' or look at /proc/bus/usb/devices to find the vendor and product ids of your hardware. Add these to the table rtl8187usbidtbl in file r8187core.c and the driver should then (a) log some information about your hardware that can be printed by dmesg (b) create a wlan0 device for accessing your hardware. Please post here the vendor and product ids you find. Please also tell us if this rtl8187 driver works with your rtl8187B hardware.

If this rtl8187 driver doesn't work with your rtl8187B hardware then the RTL8187B probably isn't compatible with the RTL8187L. In that case I would suggest getting Realtek's official RTL8187B driver to compile. That's probably not too difficult as (a) it compiles under earlier kernels (I downloaded and compiled it on 2.6.8). (b) This project has already worked out the changes required for 2.6.20 and implemented them in this rtl8187 driver.
