As NETGEAR engineers await for the release of El Capitan USB Drivers, they try to work on with the current utility but it's still failing.

It clearly needs the updated USB driver for the new OS X. As soon as the USB Driver is available for developers, we will post the updated utility.

    Thank You Elaine, though it does not help with the situation we are in not being able to wirelessly print, it does show a positive response to the problem and help with maintaining patience.

    ElaineM It is unclear to me which USB drivers that the team is waiting for. Updated USB printer drivers? My printer works fine with El Capitan if I plug it in directly so it can't be that. All of my USB drives work fine as well. Furthermore, I thought the development of USB drivers for a given piece of hardware was in the hands of the hardware manufacturer as opposed to something that Apple would do. So is the USB Control Center Team waiting on Netgear's USB driver team?

     

    Other software that I use continues to have issues with El Capitan and SIP (Parallels, VMWare). Their fix for now has been to disable SIP. I wish Netgear would provide a working USB Control Center Utility that works with SIP disabled for now until the issues with SIP can be worked out.

      Just joining the chorus of outrage.

       

      If netgear won't provide a timeline, I will. If there is still no fix for the Netgear USB control center utility for Mac in the next week, I will 1) never again buy a netgear product and 2) use all my social networking power to sully the company's name.
