Hi all,

Yesterday I got Leopard finally working on my Dell E520 using Kalyway.
However, everything worked but sound and internet. I know that the integrated NIC is not compatible because of its Intel origins, so i've been trying a few network cards that i've got lying around in my house.

So far i've tried:

- D-Link DGE-528T (i read somewhere on this forum that it was compatible with some realtek drivers, but it didn't work for me)
- GTS FC-515 (didn't have much hope for this one because it's from 2002)
- Generic PC-Line ethernet card (found the os x intel realtek drivers for its chipset, but no luck)
- Netgear WG111v2 (again i found realtek drivers for it but it didn't find my wireless router)

None of these have worked, so i have decided to bite the bullet and buy an ethernet card for my pc.

What I'm looking for is a cheap PCI NIC card which provides good speeds. I live in the UK.
I've heard some NIC cards work out of the box without using any kexts, are there any cheap ones like that?

Please help, I go back to school on Thursday and need a working internet connection for coursework! wacko.gif

Thanks, nabxf
