The so called Yukon2 cards / chipset (88E8021,22,35,36 and may some other i dont know...) are not supported by the Marvell Yukon 8001 drivers. They are supported directly by appleyukon.kext. To make these yukon 2 device work follow the instruction in the thread below

hi guys i gotta question!
i have a realtek rtl8319D ethernet card. the issue that im having is whenever i reset my computer i have to go into the network settings and then it detects that there is a "new port detected" and from there i can hit the okay button and get onto safari or now firefox! when i look at my network devices there are about 20+ network adapters. how can i change this so that i can just log onto os x86 10.4.6 and be connected automatically to the internt without making my computer find a "new" device?

[X-FLASH08]

What about the Intel Pro/100 VM Network Connection?? any progress? does anybody knows if there is a driver or guide for this version of the Intel Pro??

[Niko_K]

I have a realtek 8201CL and I cant find any support for it please help

[Andrei.H]

does the driver for 3Com's 940 driver work for 920 too ? or is there any other driver ?

If your LAN seems to quit working after you return to your computer, try turning the sleep off.

i have a strange issue with a wireless card in my laptop. it thinks that it is ethernet.

when i went through the setup on a fresh installation, it knew it was a wireless card, and i was able to pic up signal and connect, but when i launch osx it does not allow me to configure the airport card, and none of the wireless troubleshoots that i have tried have worked. please help....

this is a picture of the setup.


now since i have launched osx the airport icon in the menu bar is always blank, and in the system prefferences it show that i am connected via ethernet. NEED HELP/ IDEAS

[bllizard]

i think my question is very basic,

i cannot figure out how to change the active card to my ethernet. the MAC address always showing my wireless card eventhough my wireless card is off. im using NetworkSelector to turn on my wireless card.

my ethernet model is BCM5701. my laptop model is HP Compaq nc6230.

thanks guys.

Hi, everyone
Can anyone list the Dlink-Routers which are supoorted by MAC OS X 10.4.8?
and
I have read a forum saying that INTEL PRO/100 VE NETWORK CONNECTION is automatically recognized by MAC OS X 10.2.1. Can I get IONetworkingFamily.kext from MAC OS X 10.2.1?

maybe, maybe not but by supplying the appropriate kext with your specific dev/ven id intel pro/100 ve will be recognized by mac os ten without any other hacks regardless of version. works with 10.4.9 too
