Realtek 8168/8111 solution Options

[Proof]

Ok, sorry, its just that the installer is 2 in 1 so I though I would post here. I'll do another thread or search for an exsiting one.
The thing that bothers me is that before the install there were a couple of commands which were suppose to reverse the process, it's just that I dont know which one were those...

DaemonES: Ok, well it's working with the rc.local fix so no problem. Thanks for your efforts anyway!

DaemonES:If I load 1.04 version everything is OK.Driver works(log1).But when I install him and reboot system crash and don't start(log2)

tomtefar maybe later, when I'll be more skilled in device drivers I can fix this
gajda

Graphics chip error! Restarted.

Ooops... It seems, that this is a problem of NIC and graphic driver card interraction. You need to start network driver in the last order, when all driver are started. It seems, that this is not my problem. Apple are luckies, their have several configs, and can support them all well.

DaemonES: Right

I get the graphics chip error sometimes but only with one out of 5 different NVIDIA cards I have (had), namely the Geforce 6500 TC. Nice to know where this comes from.

gajda:

Stick the driver into some other directory besides /System/Library/Extensions

Then go into /etc and add the line

CODE

kextload /the_dir_where_you_put_the_kext/RealtekR1000.kext

to the file rc.local

tomtefar: thanks

[DaemonES]

BTW, I've found in Apple device driver mailing list the same problem, as I have. tomtefar, gajda how much RAM do you have on those systems with Graphics chip error bug?

[renuspt]

Hi

Sorry to ask

How do I install the driver on post #146. I believe pleople are saying that that one works with the Intel Ethernet Card.

tomtefar, gajda how much RAM do you have on those systems with Graphics chip error bug?

I have 1GB RAM now...

[DaemonES]

gajda thanks.
renuspt visit to project page and grab an installer:

Hi,

I installed the latest driver, and although at first glance is seems to work great, it gets unstable after a few minutes of usage.

After a few minutes of usage, the connection dies. I can't ping anything anymore, safari won't load pages, etc. Unloading the kext and then loading it again gives me the ability to ping, but as soon as I try to load a webpage, the network died again. No more ping replies, just nothing.

I've compiled the driver myself, with Debug configuration. Dmesg shows a lot of activity, even when the connection dies. In the system.log I can see that at a certain time (probably when the connection died) it only receives packets with packet len of '60'. Before that, it received packet lengths of arbitrary sizes.

I really have no idea what could be causing this. If you want, I can send you attach a copy of my system.log.

My hardware is a ConRoe945G-DVI running JaS 10.4.8 DVD.

i'm sorry, but i can't undersand everything... in that zip file of page one there are many files and folders that i don't understand. Is there a step by step tutorial? does it work with 10.4.1?

[MacAndor]

Hello!

Please start working on the NVidia Go 6100 driver, because a lot of PC laptop users want to Install Mac OSX on their computers, but they are afraid, that they can't use OpenGL/QE/CI, and this (sadly) stay at Windows XP!!!

Please help me!!!
If it will work I will DONATE!!!

THX a lot.

[DaemonES]

remenic do you using AHCI mode for SATA hdds?

roccoo heh, open terminal, enter to the driver dir and type sh installdebug.sh. It may not work on 10.4.1, maybe recompilation is required.

MacAndor you rock man Now I'm working on driver for series of JMicron PCI-E to SATA/PATA converters, and Attansic Gigabit LAN. I do not planning to work on nVidia 6100 driver, cause:
1. I have no hardware.
2. Video drivers are very complex. Of course I can contribute GeForce 6100 support to macvidia project, but now I'm not planning to do that.

Geez, I wish I knew. Can't find any mention of AHCI in my bios. Where do I check this?

Oh but I am using SATA II. Maybe AHCI implies SATA ?
