Very strange. both Device IDs are included in the kext I gave you!

Adam

Here's another kext.Go to /System/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext (show package contents) then Contents/Plugins and remove AppleYukon2.kext. Also remove the (if there's any) AppleYukon2.kext in the /System/Extensions folder
Then install normally my kext with OSx86Tools,Kext Helper or manually into the Extensions folder.
Before booting,in Darwin bootloader press F8 and enter -v
If there's anything Yukon 2 relevant,post it.
Try it. It simply must work. There're other Samsung NC10 and it's working for them.
I hope it will work for you ,too.

no, no, it's in plist, of course, otherwise I'd mention that
it's 11ab 4354, or something, it's always swapped in ioreg and in plist, so maybe I've misplaced digit pairs a bit

@ole2: Your device ID(5443) isn't even in the plist! I'll edit it and upload a new version.

AppleYukon2: 00000000,00000000 sk98osx_dnet - AllocIOInterruptHandler - Failed to allocate MSI interrupt

This line seems as you'd using Slice's driver as that one has sk98 linux base (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't got much experience with Kernel Extension Development).

@palomu: Tell me your Device ID.

You can ignore that error usually. Try going to System Preferences > Network and see if it detects a new network device.

any ideas, why MSI isn't allocated?

i've the same error in verbose mode

Thank you Adamsalac! The driver is working. This is a present to my birthday.

1. Kextload my beta driver Marvell.kext and look into system log

Have you found any solutions?

[palomu]

in windows the ethernet card is sometimes 88e8048 and sometimes 88e8040 and both with different id is possible that this is the reason why my ethernet doesn't work?

[RealRooster]

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem as Palomu.
Ethernet card is Marvell Yukon 88E8048 Device ID 435A.

In System Profiler >> Software >> Extensions, AppleYukon2.kext is not displayed.
When I boot in verbose mode, there is an error: AppleYukon2 - RomlessInit - getProperty failed

I have now tried all different kext-versions Adam has provided but unfortunately same result with all of them.
All ideas to solve this issue are more than welcome.

Thanks and Regards,
Rooster

Thanks for this slice, worked a treat here. Do you reckon there's any way of using your working code to detect the MAC address and patching it in? Would be nice to save just changing the default MAC. If not this seems to be a good enough solution anyway.

My working codes are easy

	// read the mac address and place it somewhere safe for later use
	char* ptrB0 =(char *)csrBase + B2_MAC_1;
	bcopy (ptrB0, &addrMAC, ETH_ALEN);

But they are larger then the place in existing AppleYukon2.kext so I don't know how to apply its.

I'm posting a new kext!

It's a modified 9J27(!-released today) AppleYukon2.kext with all device IDs.

I can't test it right now as I screwed up my Mac OSX installation.

Please report as soon as possible if it works.

I know this made sound like a uber newb question. But do I just put this kext in my extensions folder and restart? I just have a basic install of osx and not sure on how to update a driver for this kext?

can someone give me quick instructions on how to do it? thanks!

Sorry,but this might take a while.I hope that it isn't too bad.I have to recover/reinstall my Mac OS X.
That's the disadvantage when you're too lazy to repartition the drive to GPT and you still use MBR....

No hurry, current one is fine for now. Thanks.

[adamsalac]

@juch: yep exactly.And remove System/Extensions.mkext. It's even easier with OSx86 Tools or Kext Helper.You can find both in this forum.

Adam

[juch]

ok, you are a GOD. This worked perfectly for me, thank you so much!!

[adamsalac]

@Neonkoala: is the issue with incorrect MAC adress fixed?
    Does the RomLessUnit error appear?

Thx,
