I doubt it.  Farallon was gobbled up by Proxim and they seem to not provide
much support for Macs.  In fact, they only seem to provide whatever support
Farallon had before being gobbled up.  And since Farallon never created
MacOS X drivers for their products, I doubt that you will get your ethernet
card to work in OSX.

I think you will need to get another ethernet card that either has support
built into OSX or the manufacturer has provided OSX drivers.
