OK people.. see if you can figure this one out. lol

 

I have 3 dvd's Jas 10.4.8, Uphuck 10.4.9 1.3 rev 1.3 (4gig dvd), and a Uphuck 10.4.9 rev 1.4 (which is only a littl over 1.4 gigs)

 

My system is a Pentium D805 CPU, Motherboard: Intel D945GCCRL with Intel video GMA950 & LAN Intel 10/100 pro ve

 

I installed using the first 2 dvd's and could not get the built in network working. I tried all the above solutions and nothing. Device id for my lan is 1094 8086 by the way..

 

Finally out of last hope I reinstalled the system using the rev 1.4 DVD which again is about 1.4 gigs and I used a Belkin ethernet card i had lying around. It picked up a "built in" ethernet but actually the one which worked was the installed belkin pci ethernet card. I even disababled the lan in the bios and the mac os still works with the Belkin card.

 

I installed with only the intel 10/100 drivers selected.. nothing else. But in the end the Belkin worked.

 

weird uh? But its all part of the fun of experimenting with a new os i guess :lol:

 

One last question.. Is it normal for the OSX to install in under 12 minutes? I know theres heat and comments about the Pentium D805 being slow or outdated.. But this thing is fast.

wow caladan1810 I gotta say you're a godsend genius :P

 

I don't know how you did it but I did everything with the vendor, card id, repair permission and everything I found from the forum but I couldn't get my ethernet to work.

 

...But then I found your zip file and I drag everything to the folder and copy all the scripts that you have in that zip file.... And now, I'm online typing all these lines :) Thank you and thank you so much caladan1810.

 

here's my ethernet card 411:

Intel Pro /100 VE from sony laptop PCG-V505EX

Card ID is: 103D

Card Vendor ID: 8086

 

and Caladan1810 zip file works great for me. Thanks

Please help me!

 

My instance id

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1064&SUBSYS_80F81043&REV_03\4&23C0B1C&0&40F0

 

I followed your guide to add the 0x10648086, and the Built-in Ethernet appears in the System Preferences but it is disabled. Only the Serial Port is selectable. What should I do?

Hi Everyone

 

here is the AppleIntel8255x.kext you will need. I have it zipped along with installation instructions.

 

The AppleIntel8255x.kext now allows me to use my Intel Pro/100 VE NIC which is running the

82557 Chipset.

 

If it doesn't work for you usual disclaimers apply! Don't Blame me for trying!

 

I do hope it helps.

 

 

Thanks Brother it worked THANKS A LOT

Got this working on my Dell Dimension 5150C by editing the info.plist file and then running the terminal commands and repairing permissions, but after installing a couple of updates via the apple software update this seems to have stopped working. The additional text is still in the info.plist file, so i ran the terminal commands again, but to no avail.

 

Can anyone give me info on how to reset it to the original so i can redo everything, or give me another fix. Anyone eklse have this happen?

 

The Ethernet just shows up as not connected now.

 

TIA

Got mine working on Asus P5LP-LE with Intel82562v (Ekron) onboard NIC.

 

I added device ID 0x27dc8086 to <string> line below <key>IOPCIMatch</key> in Info.plist in /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents

 

You will also have to move or rename AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/

 

Delete Extensions.mkext, rebuilt cache, repair permissions, reboot.

Hello

 

does anybody know, why my intel pro/100 VE onboard of my DELL 4600i doesnt get regonized from time to time? I have 10.5.2 running ( without QE..) and now and then it comes the line during boot up, that the content of this chip us unknown :) . Does someone experienced this too? I have to reboot until it gets it. Annoying...

INTEL_8255X_ETHERNET_DEVICE(0x27DC, 7),

If you have ICH8 or later controller, you're probably out of luck for this fix.

e.g.: 82566DC is supposed to have 82562v PHY, but the only controller mentioned in the architecture doc is 82577.

 

After you add your devID to IOPCIMatch string in 8255x Info.plist, you will have to REMOVE or RENAME AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext to avoid using -f boot flag or other problems.

 

Remember permissions and cache.

Thanks for all the tutorials first of all...

I have a new issue. I got the IONetworkingFamily and AppleIntel kexts loaded. Under system preferences/network, I see ethernet listed now. My problem is that it won't pull an address. It says that the "status of your network card can not be determined.

 

Under system profiler, nothign shows up indicating that the card is detected.

 

Any ideas?

What is device ID of your NIC?

 

Look at System Profiler >Software >Extensions. Which networking kext's are loaded?

 

My device ID is 1092

The AppleIntel8255x.kext is loaded as is IONetworkingFamily. Nothing else that I can see as a networking kext.

Did you remove or rename 8254XEthernet kext?

 

In Sys Prefs >Network >Advanced, can you set any of the NIC properties manually?

 

Any errors in system.log? What about after a restart?

I did remove the 8254 kext. I can change settings to the ethernet manually, but no matter what settings I set, they always revert back to what they were before. Where is system.log located? (new to OS X)

It is working now. I changed the settings from auto to manual, then back to auto. I also added the DNS server address and it worked. Not sure which corrected it, but it is good now. Thanks all.

I have a problem, here is what DPCIManager reports:

 

2362749930_f7a4025cf4_o.jpg

 

So I have added 0x10928086 to line IOPCIMatch in Info.plist in /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents then I've moved AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext, rebuilded Extensions's cache and repaired permissions, I've rebooted, but I can't get the LAN card working, here is what I get in system.log:

So please, help me!

 

PS: Sorry for the English... I speak French.

 

Edit: Resolved, I've downloaded this package, installed it, deleted AppleIntel8255x.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext, deleted the Extensions.mkext, repaired permissions, rebooted, and prayed, it's finally working.

Thnak you :(.
