Automate the Ralink Wireless Connection on Mac OS X

It's a comfortable feeling that Ralink supports the Mac OS X by providing drivers for its network adapters. The Ralink RT2700E B/G/N miniPCIe network card is a great example. It works find on the Mac OS X operating system with the RT2860 driver that Ralink provides. Although Ralink provides a great service to the Macintosh community, it's network card driver could be polished up a bit and could be more integrated with the AirPort service.

Currently, the Ralink network card requires you to use the WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI interface to enable/disable wireless service. And you have to disable and re-enable it every time you turn on your computer and every time you wake it up from sleep. This document will provide you with the software and show you how to set it up so that the process is automated.
