Reign Of Terror Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 a simpler method is to download the package i uploaded in this post. unzip it, run Kext Helper, drag the 2 kext's into Kext Helper, type your password and hit Install. restart your computer and you'll have 100% working ethernet. (provided you have a 88E8038 ethernet adapter). if you need sound working and have an ACL883 sound card, go here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=904481 Ethernet.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AidanLinz Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I just followed the original poster's guide with ipc's 10.5.6...well I followed it in spirit at least. I edited Info.plist directly with nano in the terminal as root, saved the file, typed 'kextload AppleYukon2' and immediately came online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy ethernet There is another topic on this but I made this to simply things I did exactly as this but I got a "Still waiting for root device" startup screen because the AppleACPIPCI.kext... Impossible to fix, I re-installed everything. I´m using the iAtikos 10.5.7... I really don´t know if the problem is the beta AppleACPI, but if you wanna try this, backup everything... And good luck... ACER Aspire 5580 (cpus=1 still necessary ) and WiFi not working (Intel 3945 ABG). All the rest ok..! Valeu pessoal..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
