Not a single one ships with a Mac driver, because I guess the Mac hardware is considered to be infallible or something. If you walk down the Networking aisle at Best Buy or Staples, which is what happens when you need a new wireless adapter in a hurry, you'll see that all the USB wireless dongles say they're for Windows only. And unfortunately the antenna is in the screen, so to get working wireless back I would have had to get that replaced at a very high cost. A while back, my out-of-warranty Macbook Pro's wireless antenna died.
