PdaNet/tethering WITHOUT AirPort

[brijazz]

I have a first-gen MacMini which does NOT have an internal AirPort card. I just bought a third-party USB Wi-Fi adapter; how can I go about creating the ad-hoc network necessary for tethering my (already jailbroken) iPhone using PdaNet?

If you have PDANet 1.50 you can just use a USB.

AFAIK, tethering over USB is limited to Windows users, thought I'd be glad to find out if I'm wrong Any other suggestions?

Although USB support is not quite available yet for Mac OS X ....

For Mac OS X ad-hoc connections:

Again, I don't have an AirPort card installed in my Mac mini, thus don't have an Airport icon to click on. This is my stumbling block; I essentially need a way to create an ad-hoc network using my third-party Wi-Fi dongle. If anyone knows how to do this, please advise. Thanks!
