Thank you very very much !! It's the only kext which works for me and give me an internet access by ethernet.

Hello.

I have some problem. I installed Realtekr1000 driver.

Bonjour works fine with MacBook Air if i turn on IPv6 on Hackintosh and on MacBook.

In Bonjour Browser i chek that bonjour recognize devices only via IPv6. After Bonjour see IPv6 of devices it get IPv4 adress. And all OK. BUT.

Some devices don't have IPv6. Such as iPhone. Bonjour on it use only IPv4. And on Mac Bonjour browser immediately recognize iPhone via only IPv4.

But on hackintosh with this driver Bonjour works only via IPv6.

Need help.....



Oh.. i have RTL8111B

Here is LOG files with IPv6 turn off and with IPv6 turn on

(In the both logd bonjour work on iphone(ipv4) and on macbook(ipv4 and ipv6) and send multicast)

Answering my own question... It turns out on 10.5.6 anyway that Apple includes an older version of this kext in IONetworkingFamily.kext. The version at the Realtek site is newer than what Apple has.

So for 10.5.6 at least, this kext is redundant at best.

Hi jdxxx,

I just checked the Psystar website and the driver there (same version as you have attached) was updated on the 12th of September 2008. Where did you get the Jan 2009 driver?

Hassnain

Version 1.8.1 of the Psystar driver doesn't work for me when loaded into the EFI partition. The AppleRTL8169Ethernet driver gets picked every bleedin' time. I've tried tracing the driver matching process per the Apple developer docs and I can't figure out why it isn't getting picked.

Guess I'll try putting it into /System/Library/Extensions instead.

One quick restart later ... yup, putting it in /System/Library/Extensions instead of the EFI boot partition worked.

I think I need to study up on how the EFI boot partition thing works.

I tried the installer and also this installrelease kext, but can't get it to work. looks like nothing happened, only the kext is there in extensions My network card is Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. I'm having an AMD based computer, might this be the problem, cause in the installation it says "(Intel)".

It looks like its trying to configure the ethernet (flashing orange led for once or twice) and then nothing. When I go to mac osx in safemode, then in network preferences it shows that the card is inactive. Although the cable is plugged in it doesn't change anything.

no problem anymore

ME123 thanks for the advice to enable Wake on lan after shutdown

I have had this built in nic for ages now and it was working properly until now I installed it with the installer provided in the first post here. Now, however, I have changed my time machine drive that is attached to the airport extreme and now when I try to make a fresh backup it would only backup up to about 500 to 900mb and then whole system would just freeze up and display that message about power button to reset the computer. As far as internet everything is working fine. Any suggestions? I have tried the pystar driver and still no luck.

I have asrock 945g-dvi with Realtek RTL8111B. Oh and I am running kalyway 10.5.3.

Thank you

PS. Is there any other nic that supports gb lan and works natively and is cheap as well?

Hey, I have an 8111c, and I think I've tried almost every solution in here...no luck yet. I got to System Preferences and under network the ethernet is recognized, but not functional. It says it "has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect". Any ideas?

Try this bbroman and those with Realtek 8111C issues:

ftp://66.104.77.130/cn/nic/RTGMac_v1.1.6.zip

It's working here =)

i have the realtek 8111d in my board (EX58-UD5) and both the open source and the pystar version of the realtek1000 kext "kill" my lans rom, resulting in me resetting the cmos to get them back for a day, then i have to repeat the steps. does anybody else have this?

The driver works for me (8111c) but I have speed problems. It's quite slow (40k) and from time to time it looses the connection.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte EP43-DS3LR.
Any clues?

Hi guys,

I have IDeneb 1.5.4, and there is no way to make my mobo(GAp35-DS3) integrated adapter (chip realtek 8168/8111B) work. I tryed:

1) IOnetwokfamily.kext
2) This http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29436 solution

But still nothing, the adapter don`t even have power on it, in XP i works perfectly.

And also i have Scientific Atlanta (Webstar) modem 2100, i try to connect it via USB, but have no drivers for it (for MAC OS) - so it initialise in OS and shows in "Networking" as Ethernet 2. Because i have no drivers it shows wrong IP adress (DHCP auto mode) like 164.67...

In Manual i can set my real IP and DNS servers, but it is still can not open pages.

What can i do, baybe some drivers for 2100Webstar - didn`t foud them on internet.

Thanks in advance!

look in sysprofiler if realtek is loaded

OK i have an issue here with my Realtek 8168, i use iPC 10.5.6 and XP, but when i first boot into windows and then to mac the network doesnt work at all.

It has frozen at "Running Installer Script". Any ideas?

EDIT: Just kidding it worked!!!!

Same here, except I have a GA-p35-DS4. Onboard Ethernet is seen by XP as Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&CC_020000)

The RTL9169 works on Leopard 1.5.5, but I have updated with Ideneb Update combo to 1.5.6 and it stops working. The hardware appears, but it always says that the lan cable is unplugged.

What can I do?

i have iDeneb 10.5.6, Realtek 8168/8111 and i have RealtekR1000_1.04, but i dont know how to use terminal and how to install it. can somebody help me install it step by step plzzzzzzz

Same as Komatorie - don't know how to use Terminal...a nice explained tutorial is much appreciated. Thanks to all for the feedback.

Best Regards,



Geoffrey

Then why are you trying to hack something ?

My apologies - however, I thought that maybe more effort will be put in helping if someone noted that maybe this problem is not something which only one member is experiencing.

My apologies Komatorie.

Best Regards,


Geoffrey

I think that use of an experimental driver should be hard-to-use, but you are right when it comes to productional-state software.

However, when the driver is stable and documented well enough, someone will just make an installation package so you can download the pkg, install it, reboot and have ethernet Maybe, until then, you can take a try with kexthelper. Last time I checked, it was at beta 7, but it does the job.

Works like:

a ) download the kext driver for your device
b ) drop the kext onto the kexthelper
c ) some form of auth is asked
d ) sometimes reboot, sometimes have fun without that

Which again, was that last time I used it.

My mainboard is Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2L, it uses network adapter Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P). I installed the RealtekR1000_1.04 kext by KextHelper but nothing works. What should i do now . Somebody plz help me

Komatorie, can you please let me know where you got the .kext for the RealTekR1000 from!? So maybe I'll give it a shot too!?

Thanks.

oh sure, i got that kext from this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/realtekr1000/.

Try looking in the system.log with console.app in the utilities folder in the applications folder. It might explain something.

Posting "Thing X doesn't work" isn't helpfull. Explain what you did and what the results were.

To investigate pci and drivers, try IORegistryExplorer, it comes with Xcode 3 and is free at the ADC site (try google!)

I did man. I explained that i installed iDened 10.5.6 v1.4, then i searched and found that i should install that realtekr1000 kext from this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/realtekr1000/ for my network adapter Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) by KextHelper and nothing happens til' now




Thanks OnePlane, i'll try it


sorry for my bad English

i tried the system.log & IORegistryExplorer but i have no idea about those things ...

is there anybody help me

Hi! I have a Gigabyte EP43-UD3L which utilizes Realtek 8111C. I am running a BOOT-132/retail install of 10.5.6.

I have tried the realtek 2.0 DL, the one in the OP, and the realtek 1.8 kext. The Pystar link seems to be dead on their website.

Does anyone have the Realtek 1.16 (that link is dead in this thread), or ANY kext that will support my 8111c?

I saw many people reference the Realtek 1.16 RTG Installer, but all I get is a username/password prompt form realtek when clicking on the FTP link.

Thanks!

You both should just look for a compatible PCI Ethernet card and just use one of those. They're cheap and supported, so no more kext hassle.

I am pretty sure all we need is the older realtek 1.1.6 RTG. ITs a really easy to use installer. Double click, hit continue 3 times, finish. It auto touches the extensions folder and reboots.

Its really not a hassle, its just a matter of anyone who has the file uploading it to the boards since realtek took it off their site. I could not find anyway to DL old versions, but maybe someone else can...

Does it work with Leo?

Someone on these boards said it did, I personally have no experience with this mythical 1.1.6 version ;p

The revised versions work with all Intel 10.4/10.5 versions.

edit:
I have attached it.

can someone give me an available link of RTGMac_v1.1.6 kext. there are some ftp links but they require username & password and it makes me down

thank you so much maleorderbride

copy paste post from another thread

Just installed 10.5.6 ( iDeneb 1.4 ) on an AMD system ( GA-MA770 DS3 , DualCore 5200+ , HD2600Pro )
Installed with a 16Gb Usb key on an external drive , all hardware is recognized ( proc shows as an intel duocore 2700 ) and everything works perfect ... except that my Realtek 8168/8111 ethernet adapter shows a different MAC address than the one it shows in windows ?! Is that even possible - two different hardware addresses of the same adapter ?
Tried to change the MAC manually with both 'ifconfig en0 lladdr 00....' and 'ifconfig en0 ether 00....' and it accepts the command but it doesn't change anything .
I have still the option to change the MAC in windows ( pretty easy ) and then call my ISP to ID me with the new one
but i have to be sure that it's not a driver issue that's causing all this trouble . Adapter shows correctly in system profiler - how can i test it without establishing a connection ?

edit -
just tried RTGMac 116 and RTL1000 v104 and it doesn't change anything - Leopard's mac is different from windows's one and I'm still unable to change it manually

what i see in console is - on every boot :
rtl_r1000_nic_ext: Ethernet address 00.....( the wrong leopard's one )

On the plus side I seem to be ahead of many of the folks that have basic connectivity issues (I am using iPC 10.5.6 and then some updates from osx86tools) .. the 8111C on my Mobo worked somewhat out of the box, and osx86Tools installed an update (Realtek RTL811/816BB) so it worked even better.. so much I thought it was perfect.. until I tried iTunes/Bonjour.. and then I found it wasn't perfect (it could not see my iTunes share.. an older 10/100 NIC I have sees it just fine)

do any of these other RT driver versions support Bonjour? (I've tried RTG2Mac and did not see any improvement.. unless I was supposed to remove something else...)

thanks!

on my ga-ep35-ds3 bonjour works with the psystar version. no go with neither the 1.16 nor the 2.x from realtek. as I'm not at home right now, I can't upload it.

cheers

ok , I managed to get the ethernet to work with the R1000 v104 driver by deleting all the kexts but AppleRTL8169 in IONetworkingFamily
Problem is that it still gives a wrong MAC address and changing it in Terminal doesn't work
I still don't get how the same hardware can give a different MAC in windows and osx

It's because de driver isn't programmed to get it right from the card.

Is that the 1.8 (or something like that) version? I think I found that already and can give it a shot tonite. Just didn't want to try random drivers.

Now so far, I've only been playing with gfx kexts... it sounds like these networking drivers might go in a different location? Do I need to remove any other drivers when I try this one? I have the default from 10.5.6, and then the Realtek RTL811/816BB installed from osx86tools.

thanks,
Mike

It can't be random , with the different versions of the driver i tried it's always the same wrong address

(I believe) some cards let you SET the MAC address.. could that be what you are seeing?

I never said it was random, the driver might just not ever read it correctly, or not read it at all and just use a hardcoded variable.



It's ROM-burned, not 'settable' but only spoof-able.

Hey, i'm having problems with this driver.

I have an abit il9 pro v motherboard using the following built in ethernet:

Realtek RTL8110SC / RTL8369SC

I install these drivers, but they don't work, it keeps saying "Cable Unplugged"

Little help?

Please?

Buy a supported card and disable the onboard. You'll have better performance and built-in support.
