Found this nice Mobo: Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H
It has NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i Chipset and a RTL 8211B chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)

If someone has experience with these components on Leo, please tell me your results!

Thank You!

for network

try forcedeth.pkg from zephyroth 10.5.2 dvd and edit info.plist in forcedeth.kext after installation
locate strings



and insert 0xYYYY10DE (YYYY=dev_id and you can find it in .inf from win driver or in device manager, for realtek 8211BL YYYY=0450)

after that use
sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/forcedeth.kext

known problems: to prevent ethernet vs firewire conflict you may need to disable ieee1394 onboard in BIOS

this sollution tested on Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3 (Nforce 560, Realtek HD Audio ALC888, PHY RTL 8211BL), Amd x2 BE-2350, Geforce 7600GS 256MB, 2x1Gb DDR2-800 and Leopard 10.5.2 (Zephyroth 10.5.2 for AMD)

im try to 8029(as)

I do the above, and it detects the ethernet card (Rtl8211) but when I plug it in, it is unable to communicate with my router. Just assigns itself a ip adress that is not from my router, and nothing works...any suggestions?

I've RTL 8211 on GA-M56S-S3 mobo, and i've tried so many forcedeth's

still not have internet connection :-(

Well I have been successful with getting online with verizon's vz access manager software and my blackberry acting as a modem...still no luck with any sort of a NIC

I've been having the same issue, would someone please look into this and see if there has been any fixes or if anyone has been able to crack this code??

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...;hl=realtek+lan - this one helps me. First file. Ive downloaded, installed forcedeth-kext which is in build/reliase folder, with KextHelper. Installed, added 0x045010DE line in info.plist, ran sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/forcedeth.kext and then the miracle happend! Network card detected! But IP problem elsewhere. I've tried to set up router with manual IP's, but the same prob. LAN card using wrong IP adress. For ex.: my DHCP settings are: from 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.253; But smart mac is having 164.254.29.157 IP :-) So, its everything, that i can say.
Are there anyone, who had success?

Guys, a little help!!!

I've tried many different options, and I've gotten it to work but don't know how. Can someone please just clarify????
