    Mi Wifi Mac OS X driver

  • From your screenshots, it looks like CD has driver for MediaTek MT7601 chipset and Realtek 8188 chipset (so your dongle uses one of those two). After quick search Realtek 8188 drivers are Intel binaries, not Universal, so they are incompatible with the G4's PowerPC processor. MediaTek MT7601 supports OS X using this custom driver: https://github.com/githubutilities/MiWifiMac but I suspect this is also an Intel binary (it does not specify).
