Iced Angel Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hi all, I installed Kalyway 10.5.2, and my on board network card didn't work. I bought a realtek 8139 from ebay (after reading a lot on this forum) and when I recieved it, it was a ADMtek card, and it didn't work also ... I tried tulip.kext and was not successful. Now i want to buy another card, but I want to make sure that it's going to work on 10.5.2 ... I found D-link 530tx on amazon.com and even on its box it says driver for Mac OS X, but after doing some research on this forum I found that some people were able to get it work, and some people were not. What is the most stable card out there ? as far as I know, realtek 8139 is the best, but it's so hard to find this card since it's kind of old. any suggestion would be appreciated... Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I read the threads ... but I couldn't find any of the recomended cards online. I went to local Staple store and bought a Netgear FA311 for $15, with a realtek 8139D chipsed and it worked like a charm I'm posting this from Kalyway 10.5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrajag Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 any suggestion would be appreciated... Thanks in advance I used a NetGear GA311 PCI card in my old G5 and moved it into my new Hack Mac in a PCI slot. This card worked unmodified with OS X and is flawless in my new Mac. I turned off (in BIOS) the LAN port on my M/B. Not sure what the chip in this one is, but it is supported by stock OS X so no need to hunt for drivers.
