Hi! I'm running OS X yosemite. I bought an Alfa wireless adapter a while back while I was running Linux, which is already compatible with it. This certain model doesn't support 64 bit under OSX, only 32 bit, but is it possible to create a driver that would make os x read the I/O of the interface? I am new to C and programming in general, but just knowing it's possible would motivate me to create one.. Anybody? Thanks!
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe 32bit OS require specific software
protocols different from 64bit. Ir's not impossible to code something up that
can do what you need, but you would probably need to know exactly what
features the 64bit required over the 32bit (or vice-versa), and then modify
the application accordingly.

If you're a new programmer, then a device driver is going to be way over your head, probably for a few years. I'd just recommend getting a different wireless adapter. You can pick them up just about anywhere for under $50USD You probably have a friend who has an extra one that they'd just give you, or at least lend to you.
What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
Yes of course it is possible but as you said you are new to C, you need to learn more of Operating System concepts than only you can write a Device Driver for a particular device.
The question that you have asked is more than just piece of C code.
