Marvell Yukon 88E8056 & iATKOS 10.5.1 (9B18) & GA-965P-DS4, Any pointers? Can't get the network card to work. Options

[The Plankmeister]

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:

CODE

/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon.kext/Contents/Info.plist

And replaced "53" with "56", and "0x436211AB" for "0x436411AB".

Then I ran:

CODE

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/

Which worked. Then I tried:

CODE

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:

CODE

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:

CODE

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!

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.

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.
