Yes, i added that Method. It appears as LAN, i just changed Device ethernet to LAN before posting. Only problem is that the built-in flag just is not set

FWIW I couldn't get my pci netgear ga311 to be flagged as built in either. Gave up an re-enabled the mobo lan, and set that as built in. Now have two network intefaces, but that seems the only way to go.

Hi All,
Thanks for posting all of this info. I haven't gotten this working yet. I found the original post on another site, but after compiling the modified dsdt my networking plist still says builtin <false>, and my networking hardware isnt displaying any differently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


EDIT:
Now working, deleted networking.plist and rebooted. Thanks again to everyone on this thread!

FWIW, Krazubu has reposted the code over at the ProjectOSX forums in the DSDT section.

Locate your adapter using ioregistry explorer (pex4 in my case) and add the code below.
U might also want to change  "Realtek RTL8168E/8111E PCI-E Gigabit" to your adapter name.
I think this one works with all ami efi boards

				Device (GIGE)
				{
					Name (_ADR, Zero)
					Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
					{
						0x09,
						0x03
					})
					Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
					{
						Store (Package (0x06)
							{
								"built-in",
								Buffer (One)
								{
									0x01
								},
								"device_type",
								Buffer (0x09)
								{
									"ethernet"
								},
								"name",
								Buffer (0x25)
								{
									"Realtek RTL8168E/8111E PCI-E Gigabit"
								}
							}, Local0)
						DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
						Return (Local0)
					}
				}
