Marvell 88E8055 Leopard Options

[Ferret-Simpson]

Not working on default configuration of IOnet.kext, despite dupposed inbuilt support. Yukon and Yukon2 have been merged. Old plist hack to Yukon2 88E8053 Failed. Will look in source and report back.

[Ferret-Simpson]

SOLVED:

In Plist, need both primary and secondary IODEVICEMATCH.

These can be found using xcode.

Hi,

Pls I am new to Mac, I am having the same problem with my lifebook T4215. How can fix the Yukon2 88E8055 network card.
'Thanks

[Ferret-Simpson]

If I were you, I'd switch to Tiger for the time being.

At the moment, Tiger supports the WACOM, Network and Audio with the hacks in the "T421X" (Use the search) thread. On Leopard, only the network is functional for the time being. I'm working on Leopard support, but it's not ready yet. If you still need to use Leopard, just follow the instructions I gave in the post above yours.

Edit the plist file in IONetworkingFamily/Plugins/AppleYukon2 (More details in T421X thread)

Insert the following code in between the dictionaries for 88e8053 and 88e8055-B0

CODE

<key>Yukon-88E8055</key>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
            <string>com.apple.iokit.AppleYukon2</string>
            <key>EnableLowPwr</key>
            <integer>1</integer>
            <key>IOClass</key>
            <string>yukon2osx</string>
            <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
            <string>0x436311ab</string>
            <key>IOPCISecondaryMatch</key>
            <string>0x139a10cf</string>
            <key>IOProviderClass</key>
            <string>IOPCIDevice</string>
            <key>InitialWaitForLinkUp</key>
            <string></string>
            <key>MACNumber</key>
            <integer>1</integer>
            <key>Model</key>
            <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8055 Singleport Copper SA</string>
            <key>NetworkNumber</key>
            <integer>6000</integer>
            <key>Vendor</key>
            <string>Marvell</string>
        </dict>

Kay?

Thanks a lot.

My network card is now working well. I am new to Mac, to change to tiger may not be easy. I will eagerly wait for your genius hack for the WACOM and Audio.

Thanks once again

Ferret-Simpson: I tried inserting your device info into AppleYukon2.kext, but it didn't work for my 88e8055. Can you tell me how I can use Xcode to find the IOPCISecondaryMatch ids?

[cobaltrich27]

I also need some help newbie here on mac. I have the 88E8050 integrated on my Gateway Intel mobo using the Leopard flat install works fine but cant get internet.

I tried the appleyukon2 mod plist for the 88E8053/55 version change here in the forum and no luck. I would like to try what is explained here but not familiar with xcode?

Pleae anyone thanks I will need some detail instruction if you have time to explain how to set this up. I have the PC setup in Dualboot windows/leopard so I can access the device ID info etc... in Windows.

Thanks Again.

Ok I have success!!!

I have looked at many guides here on Insanelymac of how to do this and finally found a formula that works for me.

First off I am a noob to Mac the first thing that caught my eye was Bootcamp since its intro I have often thought cant the reverse be done? I have another rig running Solaris 10 and that is all new to me aswell.

Anyhow I have allot of threads & users here to thank for my success. Putting togethor 2 days of "CRASH" InsanelyMac reading/learning into this entire O.S. I have put togethor a way to get this rig online.

I wont go into the elementary steps that I had to learn but will simply list the process I used.

This is using the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard "flat" install with an 88E8050 Ethernet adapter.

If you have tried to get this working with no luck please "FIRST" do a clean Leopard install then simply apply this fix below you will be online in a matter of minutes.

you will have to edit the Info.plist inside the AppleYukon2.kext which is inside the IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns.

Change the following:
<key>Yukon-88E8053</key>
TO:
<key>Yukon-88E8050</key>

Change the following:
<string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053</string>
TO:
<string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8050</string>

Change the following: (Most important)
<string>0x436211AB</string>
TO:
<string>0x436111AB</string>

Repair Permissions then reboot.

load ethernet settings change to off then dhcp auto might need a restart of pc not the router etc... even though it says restart the router just restart the pc.

You should now have a working ethernet adapter!

Thanks again and all credit for these steps goes to the excellent help here at Insanelymac.com

Ferret-Simpson: I tried inserting your device info into AppleYukon2.kext, but it didn't work for my 88e8055. Can you tell me how I can use Xcode to find the IOPCISecondaryMatch ids?

hi all,
i did ferret's change but nothing happened. After that, for the IOPCISecondaryMatch I looked from windows device manager and there it said "subsys_0763152d". so i used that number exactly and as you can gues nothing changed. i got xcode 3.0 from web and after looking for a while found the right tool getting the numbers.
as a result,
IOPCIPrimaryMatch: 0x436311ab (4363 device id, 11ab vendor id)

IOPCISecondaryMatch: 0x076311ab (0763 subsystem id, 11ab vendor id)

note that for the IOPCISecondaryMatch i just took the first 4 number from device manager and added 11ab to it. voila. At last I have a network, hope it works for you too

Thanks for that tip. After reading this I was very optimistic that my E8050 would finally work with that but unfortunately it still doesn't...

Is it hard to get the secondary match ID from xcode? Or will it be exactly the same as taking the first four digits from the subsystem id + vendor id?

after you install xcode package, go \developer\applications\performance tools\hardware tools\. There is a tool named Reggie SE. after you lunch the app, you can select desired hardware to see details.

Thanks for the info. I tried it out but it turns out the subsys ID was the same as that given by XP, and although I tried it again anyway, I had no luck.

I guess I'll just need to stay on Tiger...

[dancemc87]

please would anyone be so kind to upload the working kext for 88e8055 to rapidshare.com or anywhere else and post me the link??

[cloverbay]

would infected_dreams be so kind as to show us, who has the 8055 chip, how to get it up?

Already posted in the other thread (post #37) that some of us couldn't get it up despite all types of tips posted in this forum. Or perhaps a working Yukon.kext for 8055 uploaded here?

Thanks guys!! Aprreciated the effort.

[Neo Os]

ok i will try the suggested solution and post here if it works

[Neo Os]

after trying what suggested here - Still not working.
did a verbose boot and saw that the card is still not identified correctly.
any of you who succeeded can upload the yukon kext?
