The Alfa AWUS036H long range 1000mW wireless USB adapter is compatible with Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6. However it does not work with Macs running Snow Leopard that boot a 64-bit kernel.
The good news is almost all Mac models sold prior to February 2011 that run Snow Leopard boot a 32-bit kernel and all Macs (that we are aware of) sold after February 2011 can be set to boot to a 32-bit kernel.
We have created this support PDF file that details how to find out what kernel your Mac boots, how to set your Mac to boot a 32-bit kernel if it is currently booting a 64-bit kernel, and exactly what this means and how it does/does not affect your Mac’s performance.

When will 64-bit drivers be forthcoming?
We do not have an ETA. The drivers are written by the chipset maker and so it does take a little time to test and debug. We will make a posting when 64-bit drivers are available.
To update our earlier comment, Realtek will no longer be releasing newer versions of RTL8187L software unfortunately as they just announced its EOL.
