alberto Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Many people have complained of the lack of networking that exists in the Developers version of Mac OSX Tiger, for Intel computers. Unless your networking card is listed on the HCL (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCLPart#Ethernet) your card will not work out of the box. There is a Darwin x86 kext called Tulip, that may help you get your networking card functioning. It can be found here (http://mirror.optusnet.com.au/sourceforge/d/da/darwin-tulip/darwin_tulip-x86-1-0-0.tar.gz). The Readme File states: As a side effect of its ADMtek983/985 support, this driver supports the following cards: Linksys LNE100 Netgear FA511 Accton EN1217 Abocom FE2500 3Com OfficeConnect 10/100B 3CSOHO100B a few Microsoft cards There are probably dozens of other cards it supports, but I don't have an accurate list. Thus, even if your card is not listed, try it anyways. You may be surprised! 1. Download the Tulip archive, and extract. 2. Within Terminal, move to the folder you just extracted, and type "sudo make install". 3. Upon completion, Tulip is now installed in your /System/Library/Extensions folder. Reboot, and hold your breath. 4. Upon reboot, check your network preferences. If all goes well, you should be able to edit the settings for your built-in ethernet adapter. Now you have networking support! (*Note - If using the internet, run Safari udner Rosetta to reduce crashes. Also, it may be a good idea to download Mozilla Firefox - Deerpark, here Source: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_Tulip Didn't try it myself yet. can anybody confirm if it actually works?

A-Dubb Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I've got a Soyo SY-P4I 845PE MB and it has built-in networking. The Davicom 9102-Based PCI Fast Ethernet adapter. OSx86 sees it, calls it eth0 but I still have no internet under it. I've ran the various tools that come with OSx86, and still nothing, I even plugged my CAT5 right into the back on my cable modem bypassing my Net Gear router completely. Now, I searched through the WiKi and didn't find any info to help me, so I wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction or possibley help me with this? Any help is much appreciated.

stelriah Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 is this approach for wireless cards as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Dubb Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I dunno, I read somewhere that is has to be Airport compatible to be wireless ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you configured it in System Preferences, did you ping to your router, cablemodem, iself? Wich kext is loaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Dubb Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Never looked at the kext, but it won't ping anything, or tell me what hardware it's using. It just says it has a network connection, but when I go to set it up using the guide (Not the assistant) it says everything has failed to connect.

A-Dubb Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I would love to, but I'm in Windows, and I don't know how to take a screenshot let alone get it out of the Mac partition. If you could help me with that, then I'll get you the screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing in the Network Panel. it you look for SPNetworkDataType in the XML file you'll see what I'm talking about. It just names the device eth0.

synapse Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 ok got tulip and unzipped it, tried what it says to do in terminal but to be honest i have no idea what i'm doing there! can any one offer a newbie a helping hand on how to get it installed? tried sudo make install but it says that there is no such file. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tincho Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Not that i'm trying to show off but i got my ethernet working pretty much after installation but with one minor problem. DHCP did not work, i had to input the tcp/ip myself. I'm not sure if this is an isolated issue or it's something that just doesn't work on OSX yet. Can someone verify this? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 ok thats cool, but still if you know about installing tulip then lend a newbie a hand. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hello, I am trying to get my Mac OS X86 online... After the installation of networking tulip (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_Tulip) there is still no enabled built-in-ethernet The curious thing is: i plugged the hard disk drive with OS X in my old PC with a very default network card with Realteck chip set and Mac OS could recognize the card and I could go online without any problems! Now I tried the same on my new computer with onBoard network card Yukon Marvel (10/100/1000). It was not recognized. Thus I thought why not using the old network card on my new computer? But there is still no enabled ethernet-adapter Why?!! Why does MacOS recognizes this old network card on my old computer and does not recognize the SAME (!!!!!) card on my new one?! (Windows XP on my new computer does not have any problems with this old card thus the card works great) Otto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Windows XP on my new computer does not have any problems with this old card thus the card works great) Otto This is nothing strange. You didn't post your chipset but most likely OSX86 doesn't recognize your chipset and PCI bus so anything you plugged into the new PC's bus is not recognized. Stick with what works, Intel CPU/Intel 915G/L (cost around $125 US).

sapient007 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 this def is a newbie question. why do i get this message when trying "sudo make install"?? " we trust you have recied the usual lecture from the lcoal ststem administrator. it usually boils down to these theree things: 1. respect the privacy of others 2. think before you type 3. with great power comes great responsibility passoword:" ~confused~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjonas Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 The first time you use the sudo command, the system wil give you this 'warning message' to alert you that you can easily screw things up if you don't know what you're doing and use the sudo command to run commands as root (or super-user, abbrev. as su). Alternatively, it is warning you to respect other users' privacy, since you can also use sudo to run commands as any user you want... In other words, the system is telling you "be careful and don't be an a$$". For more details on sudo, type 'man sudo' at the terminal to get the man page (this is the description of the sudo command from that page) DESCRIPTION sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as specified in the sudoers file. The real and effective uid and gid are set to match those of the target user as specified in the passwd file and the group vector is initialized based on the group file (unless the -P option was specified). If the invoking user is root or if the target user is the same as the invoking user, no pass- word is required. Otherwise, sudo requires that users authenticate themselves with a password by default (NOTE: in the default configura- tion this is the user's password, not the root password). Once a user has been authenticated, a timestamp is updated and the user may then use sudo without a password for a short period of time (5 minutes unless overridden in sudoers).

sapient007 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 thank for the reply. since i did not know the password?? it was never set during the install (10.4.3 F1111A), i ran a sudo -cp command in the readme file of the aforementioned .gz file. However upon reboot, i still don't see any network settings (in system perfence -> internet/network) that will allow me to tweak tcp/ip settings. is it safe to assume that drivers were not installed?? can anyhow tell me what the default root password is?? tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 if you havent set a root password, just your own, you should be able to set it from scratch. In terminal type: sudo passwd root at the password: prompt, type your password, then it will ask you for the root password twice, enter your chioce of password the same each time & youre done. alternately, if Im teaching my granny to suck eggs here, please excuse me :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjonas Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 If you did a native install, you should have had to set up the administrative user. The password for that user is the root password. If you have trouble, you can boot from your DVD, and there is a utility under the Tool menu for resetting that, i believe. However, perhaps you should start a new thread- this is getting very off topic Edit: Thanks Hagar, I was a bit slow there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
