That Intel wireless card is not supported in OS X.

 

I recommend a Broadcom card if you want wireless to work.

 

Like I said, I have the same Latitude model. I recommend swapping the Intel card for a Broadcom card and then following my guide exactly. It should get you up and running almost perfectly in about 3 hours!

I have the 4312 (DW1395) that works with OS X Snow Leopard great. It works with Lion, but it needs an extra kext. (Outlined in my guide.)

 

Any Dell Wireless card will work. Here's an example from a U.K. eBay seller:

This card works perfectly in any version of OS X. Promise ;)

Do you need Rosetta? PPC applications are pretty long in the tooth in 2013... Get a Broadcom-based card (such as DW1390/1490/DW1395, etc.), they cost pennies.

ive ordered broadcom card but thought id try this belkin card untill the card arrives

The F5D7050 will work, as long as it is version 3. You can tell which version it is by the following:

If its a version 3, download the following driver (USB(RT257X/RT2671/RT2500) from the following website:

Follow the prompts to install the RaLink software and start browsing!
