Reader02 made the driver!!!
So thanks him for this great job!

You can find last fully working AttansicL1eEthernet.kext driver version on 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD: http://www.insanelym...p...st&id=54098

this is the 10.5.6 version: here (click)

===================================================================
Howto install?
Install the driver with kexthelper Kexthelper Download (click)

===================================================================
Sleep issue... SOLVED
Reader02 solved the issue with latest driver version you can find in this post link!

===================================================================
How can you understand if you have ATL1E onboard?
- open osx86tools
- click on "View PCI device/vendor ID"
- if you see in the list 1969:1026 you have ATL1E

===================================================================
I remove the attached linux driver on this post, that's not needed anymore!

Please note:
- AR8114 it's related with the ATL2E not ATL1E.
- ATL1 Info.plist edit won't work, because ATL1 and ATL1E are not the same thing.

You are lucky,
ENJOY IT

Please... help

[sandr]

And i search way to make it work

[marionez]

Did you find it?

[pienXo]

i want atl1e driver too, please, port it from linux is hard ? how? who can do that? please someone

And I have Asus Eee PC 1000H

[marionez]

Does exist even the BSD version... anyway those who know how to create ATL1E kext driver will tell you that it's quite useless knowing that a ATL1E linux/bsd driver exists, that must be write on his own for OSX.

[marionez]

Any news?  

[xpertvision]

the linux and bsd drivers exist !

google and you will find them

[marionez]

I know that bsd and linux driver exist... I think those who can write kext should read the driver to understand how does it work, but seems nobody wants to help us...  

Unfortunately I'm not so able to create a kext and I don't know anything about kext system.

sorry mate , i read it wrong

looks like nobody is working on this... i find out alot of posts in other forums asking for a driver too

its the only driver that is missing on my setup:

quad 6600

asus P5Q

4GB ram 1066mhz

500GB hard drive

radeon 4850 1GB (fully working with the new drivers)


weird but i cant use osx without internet... im in vista 64 all the time

[marionez]

Yes man, there's no kext driver, and if you want to have internet on your P5Q you need to add an ethernet compatible PCI card.

This thread was intended to give this problem more visibility and maybe to recruit someone who knows how to write a kext driver.

ATL1 Info.plist edit won't work, because ATL1 and ATL1E are quiet different.

Many thanks to those who will help this

I tried to rewrite the driver, please wait for 1 ~ 2 weeks

[marionez]

OMG thanks a lot, let's see, I'll test everything

[marionez]

Ok I found this: http://www.freebsd.o...re/support.html
So the BSD driver is called ale4 and here's the manpage: http://www.freebsd.o...eeBSD 8-current

Here's the module bsd browse: http://www.freebsd.o...es/ale/Makefile

And here's finally the BSD code: http://fxr.watson.or...source/dev/ale/ for our driver

This was the BSD side, maybe linux driver could be written better then this, I don't know

It is base  the linux  driver .
Now，has modified the part of the code, but have 300 compile errors.

[marionez]

Great!

[xpertvision]

the number of posts (only in this forum, in google i find even more) asking for this driver is incredible... i hope it works , thanks to all contributors working on this

[iZiCO]

and wait for a solution


however thanks to people that want to resolve this problem..
