DaemonES,

You are THE MAN! This "just works".

P.S. Feeling up to the Intel 3945 or the nvidia 7700 challenge? ;-)

tinga it is not corrupted.

So DaemonES, I take it you don't know why my NIC stops working after a while? Please just say so (it won't hurt you, and it won't slim your chances of ever being an Apple employee!), because then I can stop refreshing this thread every once in a while

It's kinda strange, because I bought this specific mainboard as it seems to be pretty popular around here, and for most people it works without problems. Just not for me

Thanks anyway!

DaemonES: Sorry for not responding until now on the question of how much RAM I have on the system that gives me the graphics chip error.

My system RAM is 2Gb and the memory on the 6500 TC is 64Mb. All the other NVIDIA cards I have tried have had 256 Mb.

i was downloading the zip file not the instaler. everything worked great. thank you!

[DaemonES]

remenic may I guess, you have the nVidia card? But I think the issue is something deeper in network equipment, which you have. Please submit bug through bugtracker at sourceforge, and post you full specs, including router and so on.

tomtefar thanks, I have an idea how to solve you problem.
tinga great, but looks very strange.

DaemonES: Which one? The "can't load kext at start-up" or the "graphics chip error"?

[DaemonES]

tomtefar AHCI problem, but I think all of this issues are connected with each other.

I have installed RealtekR1000.kext and the first time I boot after installation the driver works perfectly. However the second time I boot my system freezes when it tries to start the loginwindow. I found a workaround for this problem. If I delete the /System/Library/Extensions.mkext and /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache it will boot again. Ofcourse this is a far from optimal solution, any ideas as to what causes this weird problem.

My system: Asus V6j (laptop)
OS: JaS 10.4.8 (JaS 10.4.7 => eGWan combo update)
Ethernet: Realtek RTL 8168/81111

I have the same issue, any help would be appreciated

The driver is working out of the box!
Thanxx a lot, good job, DaemonES.

[TorqueX86]

Thanks Daemon, the new release fixed a problem I had before. Before, intensive use, like P2P was locking up my system, now it' ssmooth as fluff!

Thanks so much!

[tomtefar]

DaemonES: Ok, sounds great! Let me know when you want me yo try anything!

Many thanks to DaemonES for your driver

It works fine on my Notebook Wortmann/Clevo M 520N, Core 2 Duo 5600 (1,83 GHz) with that Realtek 8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit-NIC. I'm online with it at this moment.

Very good job!

The 1.04 release fixed my locking up issues also. Thanks.

Will this work on RTL8185?

[DaemonES]

OMG, RTL8185 is wireless card, don't ask useless questions.

Hi,

I upgraded to from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 and my working Ethernet stopped working. Fortunately, I found your patch and I now have my Ethernet back and connect to the Internet.

Now if only I could get my Realtek audio working (audio has never worked)

Thanks.

This is not a patch, this is a driver.
