I have one of these on my MacMini, only difference that mine is hardware version 3.0.0.
From what I learned, this device doesnt have a web-interface for configuration, so I did use a Windows XP computer for the initial setup. On the supplied CD, there should be a program with a setup wizard that guides you through the setup. On my CD there was only the windows application, no software for other platforms. And from what I can see on their website, www.vonets.com, there are only windows downloads for this device.
After configuring it to connect to your wifi network, you connect it to your MacMini just as it was a ethernet cable going directly to your router. MorphOS should handle the rest if you set it to DHCP, or you could configure a static ip.

I did that. I set up on XP and it not work. Blue and Orange LED lights blinking. It not work even on XP :/.
Setup program on XP is very easy and it take 3-4 steps. It not work :/
Windows recognize plug in cable...
I choise even WiFi signal without password... not work / not connection with internet

I want let You know guys. It work! I did test it in my home with my router.
All problems I have in my work... there I have MacMini.

Vonests VAP11G requires to setup everything MS Windows...

IT WORK WITH MACMINI G4 MorphOS 2.7 !

It wasnt work becouse I have only 20% signal in my work room and OWB show not connection window info.
When i move MacMini in better place it start work.

Ofcourse You have to use setup software on MS Windows...

Good thing you figured it out :)

I just wanted to add, that these kind of adaptors may have problems with some routers.

Tried mine at work, and they doesnt connect properly. But this is not only the Vonets, also my Linksys adaptor have the same problem. I think it is something that they doesnt handle when the gateway adress range is not in the same subnet as the given DHCP adress. I think this is not a problem with home routers, but some public hotspot routers is more likely to cause trouble.

@all
a question (I don't have it):

after received the IP address (from DHCP server) or manually selected the IP address static, Is It possibile with OWB browser use the management of the device via http ? (for exemple from OWB http://192.168.1.1 if the IP address is 192.168.1.1.)

if yes, It's interestig also in future Powerbook G4 notebook for MorphOS

@ Divinity

Edimax 7206APg - Yes - this is Acces Point (some Polish MorphOS users have it and it work with OWB fine)
Vonests VAP11G - No - this is Bridge (its made for PS3, XBOX etc.)

Is It possible to use full management via HTTP IP service in OWB 1.11 ?

thanks

@ Divinity

What I know (im just "Caterpillar") You can use full management via HTTP IP service in OWB 1.11 only in Edimax 7206APg (not Vonests VAP11G; its simply WiFi Bridge hardware).
