Marvell Yukon 8001 - the driver, enjoy Options

[wondergod]

I used the JaS 10.4.8 reseed and I recompiled the skge kext and I didn't have to do any of that io networking kext replacing....I wonder why you guys have to....

[najt]

I updated from 10.4.7 with the 10.4.8 Combo update and the latest Semthex kernel and didn't have to compile anything. The old skge I've been using just works.

I used this guide http://paulicat.freeflux.net/blog/archive/...rade-guide.html

[m.musashi]

after reading of issues w/ 10.4.8 I've installed it on my PC (I'm not using hakintosh anymore)
well, the kext seems to work fine

[asapreta]

Here the kext is fine too.

But, is it difficult to make a installer for it? I have some friends and all of them have the same mobo that I own, but they aren't so keen in editing plists, kexts and so on. So I could make a installer/pkg to send to them.

[braveskunk]

yes kext works fine but in my case instead of placing it in Extensions folder i had to place it in Extensions\IOnetworing\contents\plugins\
To install:
open terminal
sudo -s (password)
cp -R (drag and drop the file and remove the / at the end) /System/Library/Extensions/
reboot

don't know why but it worked for me:) anyway,thanks musashi:)

[myzar]

Kext works fine under 10.4.8 for me too, it doesn't like s3 suspend tho, when the system wakes up the network card is dead. No big deal tho

[dancemc87]

hey guys, what do i have to do to use my marvell yukon 88E8055 built in network card with osx??
can you help me, please??
i desperate

[braveskunk]

will try 2 sleep it and then wake and post if it's still working or not;p

[m.musashi]

guys pliz don't pm me, I won't answer to installation questions

dancemc87: this driver is for yukon 8001, as far as I know it doesn't support 8055 (it should be supported by appleyukon.kext ... try and modify plist with your ids)

myzar: yes I've never implemented the powermanagement as I don't have a laptop with yukon to test it ... and unfortunately I have so much real life work that I can't even read this forum, let alone work on the driver; if towards XMas I'll have some free time then I'll implement powermanagement and a couple of more things

otherwise somebody else could work on it; before I released the source code some ppl were complaining ... now that it's available no one has worked on it!

So what are the things to do ?
I have OSX 10.4.8 (from jas 10.4.8 dvd intel.sse3.only) semthex kernel and it doesnt work

same I have, was it a new install or an update?
mine was a new install; I just moved the skge to System/Library/Extensions as usual with "sudo cp -R"

if your updating, then I suggest to try
- copy skge.kext onto the Desktop
- delete skge.kext from /System/Library/Extensions
- delete Extensions.kextcache and Extension.mkext
- reboot
- copy skge.kext from Desktop to /System/Library/Extensions (remember to use "sudo cp -R")
- reboot or to speed things up from terminal type (sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/skge.kext)

try and let me know, otherwise I'll download the new xcode and will recompile it to see if it fixes things
oh, if it doesn't work tell me what error message you get, thnks

[braveskunk]

musashi the thing is u have to place it in library/extensions/ionetworingfamily.kext/contents/plugins/ that helped me with my yukon 8001 otherwise it says that extension was improperly installed and cannot b used.pls contact vendor etc...

[wondergod]

I think there are two ways to get the skge driver working with new kernel. Either replace the ionetworking kext or recompile the source m.musashi provided.

Attached is the source I recompiled after installing the JaS 10.4.8 reseed ISO and Xcode.

Attached File(s)

 skge.kext.zip ( 44.33K ) Number of downloads: 1626

I am running JaS 10.4.8, and this driver has worked for me using the default SemtheX kernel included on the ISO, as well as the latest kernel updates.

I did not have to put the kext anywhere special, just in /System/Library/Extensions, though I do get a good number of "family specific matching failed" messages when booting with this kext installed, but networking does work.

[dancemc87]

will this work with marvell yukon 88E8055 as well??

Just tried it with the wwondergod file and nothing =\\

I've replied to you few posts above yours .... please read
no it doesn't work

Just tried it with the wwondergod file and nothing =\\

do you get error message in the log? I cannot fix it if I can't replicate the error (as I said it works fine in my 10.4.8) or understand what's going wrong

I did not have to put the kext anywhere special, just in /System/Library/Extensions, though I do get a good number of "family specific matching failed" messages when booting with this kext installed, but networking does work.

family fails is ok, don't worry it doesn't have any impact ... it's just the IOKit trying a device match + the driver is in debug mode
