I was struggling with my ethernet card not getting recognised on kalyway 10.5.2. My motherboard is K8NE deluxe. I just can't thank you enough!!! I had almost given up on it until I found your thread. I worked flawlessly. Thanks again

[gimpyviper]

I just reinstalled OS X onto my home computer this weekend. I had been running 10.4.9 a while back before I blew it away (thought there was a problem when there wasn't oh well)

When I loaded up iDeneb 10.5.4 I had a problem with network connectivity where anytime I'd download a large file, or pushed high speeds I would get either a deadlock or a KP.

Actually took me a second to realize what the problem was because I never had a problem with the forcedeth drivers on Tiger but did have problems with SATA etc. LOL

Anyway, to make a long story short I tried three different drivers last night (and was prepared to install an Intel PRO 1000 GT if none of them worked) and the one found here http://forum.insanel...o...;p=884640 was the one that worked for me. (It's in one of the middle posts, a file on rapidshare called "FIle.zip")

It's interesting because it seems like a driver that might work for one person may not work for another.

Anyway, this was the one that worked for me. Good luck guys.

The nForce4 driver uses descriptor frames that are too small for the MCP55 and newer so it won't work with you card. Try the new version of the nForce driver I posted this morning . It works (more or less) perfectly with the MCP55.

This loads and it seems to work fine when starting up osx, but when it gets to the desktop my usb mouse and keyboard aren't working. anyway to fix this? btw. my chipset is mcp61

This is for all the people who are struggling with their ethernet card "NVIDIA nForce Networking     Controller"

I have mentioned the link on which I have posted a step by step approach in order to get the ethernet to work in leopard. You can check the same by following the link mentioned below:
http://forum.insanel...rt=#entry894159

(Guess I am too lazy to write down all the steps again hence mentioning the link)

Hopefully the method should work which I followed.

I need more testers for my modified version of planetbeing's nForce LAN driver. So far it has been found to work with the MCP55 and MCP61 but it should work with any device that is supported by the linux forcedeth driver (nForce1 -> MCP79). The driver has sleep/wake support and does not require the use of the cpus=1 boot option.

You can check out the driver at:

Hello, Pleace tell me what is making my network start to work (Now i can connect to other computer.) when i install this:

Leo_Patch.pkg from the dvd  Leo4allv4.1 AMD
Whith content: . AppleACPIPlatform.kext
                     . AppleAHCIPort.kext
                     . AppleAPIC.kext
                     . AppleSMBIOS.kext
                     . IOAHCIFamily.kext

Hello, everyone! I have such problem with my LAN. I cannot connect to Internet through PPPoE. It says "Could not find PPPoE Server". I have nForce chipset based Ethernet card and it seems to be working (i installed its driver ). Please, can anyone help me? May be someone had such problem before?

Hello, i have problem that MenuMeter dont show traffic information. I email to author of Menumetter and he said:

Quote

MenuMeters uses standard kernel interfaces for network data. Your
"hackintosh" apparently doesn't report the data correctly. This is probably
an indication that the network driver you're using isn't properly supporting
kernel requests for the data.

Can you fix this bug? thx

[tkfu]

Got the driver working for the onboard LAN on the Biostar TF7025-M2.  Chipset is MCP67, and I had to manually add the deviceid (054c10de, for those keeping score at home) to the info.plist of forcedeth-nockd.kext.  Was pretty crashy at first, but after disabling IPv6 it seems relatively stable.  Will report back if I get more crashes.

Thanks very much to planetbeing and everyone else who's worked on this!

Guys, I have a problem.

I've managed to get stable internet connection with the forcedeth 0.61.2 driver, only the torrents dont work!

OSX is completely stable, it can run for days, I use FF, Yahoo mesenger, Safari... etc, but when I start Vuze or Transmission, my computer freezes almoust instantly, within a minute or two

I've tried reducing  download speed from 700 kbps to 500, 400, even 200 kbps, nothing helped.

Does anybody have a suggestion, I dont know what else could I do? This is the only thing that doesnt work on my hackintosh, based on DFI nf4 AM2 board and AMD CPU...

TIA
