The Plankmeister Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi, I'm trying to get the Marvell Yukon 88E8056 working, but I'm having problems. My setup: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 mainboard E4300 @ 2.8GHz Using iAKTOS v1.0i: So, according to the instructions I found in this thread I downloaded and installed the gigabyte_ds3-4pack.1.2.dmg (installing only the network driver) and then altered the following file: /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon.kext/Contents/Info.plist And replaced "53" with "56", and "0x436211AB" for "0x436411AB". Then I ran: sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/ sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/ Which worked. Then I tried: rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache Which gave a permissions error. How do I run these commands as admin? Sorry, I'm a MacOs n00b. Then I ran: diskutil RepairPermissions / And rebooted. When I started up, I checked in prefs, and the network interface en0 says "Not Connected/Cable unplugged". So I tried: sudo -s ifconfig en0 down ifconfig en0 up but this is how far I got: ….but en0 does exist, as shown in one of the above screenshots. Any ideas? I noticed the driver in the package was intended for use on 10.4.8, is this the likely cause? I'm using 10.5.1. And if so, does anyone know where I can get the 10.5.1 driver? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! //Plankmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsusZ84JHelp Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I have an Asus Z84J barebones laptop. I also have the Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Ethernet controller as well as iATKOS 1.0 10.5.1. Here's how I got the Ethernet to work (can't remember where I got this from, but it works nonetheless.) 1. Open Terminal 2. Type the following (_ represents a space): sudo_nano_/system/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/Info.plist 3. Press Enter, then scroll down to the following: <key>Yukon_Gigabit Adapter 88E8053</key> 4. Replace the 3 with a 6, then scroll to this: <string>OX436211AB</string> 5. Replace the 2 with a 4, then scroll to this: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053 Singleport Copper SA</string> 6. Directly after the final space (before SA), replace SA with $, and, of course, replace the 3 with a 6. 7. Press Ctrl-O, then Enter, then Ctrl-X. 8. Type the following (_ represents a space): sudo_chown_-R_root:wheel_/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext 9. Press Enter, then type the following (_represents a space): sudo_rm_-rf_/System/Library/Extensions.mkext 10. Press Enter, then Reboot. 11. Go to System Preferences, click Network, choose Ethernet from the left pane, then from the Configure drop-down menu, choose Off, then click Apply. Then, again from the Configure drop-down menu, choose Using DHCP, and click Apply. 12. That's it: Your Ethernet connection should work fine; it did for me.

maghasyan Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi, I have installed Kalyway 10.5.2 and my Yukon 88E8056 worked fine. When I've updated to 10.5.3 it stops function. Will this attached kext fix it in 10.5.3? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheElix Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Didn't work for me either The only thing that doesn't work for me now on 10.6 is Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Ethernet controller. I have Ethernet (en0) Cable Unplugged. Tried everything abovementioned. I wonder if I have any conflict within kexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
