There are some drivers on AMD site for freeBSD, maybe someone can make the driver.

 

I installed Darwin directrly on one of my HDs so I can boot directly on it or use in VMWare with direct access to the disk. also installed a SMC 1211TX NIC (that can be used as RealTek 8139 card) when I boot directly with Darwin it recognizes the card as rtl8139, I can set an IP and add a default gateway route, yesterday I could traceroute and ping some hosts, I'll try to ftp or something else later :)

 

Here are some of the Mac OS X supports:

 

took it from /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/

The bad thing is that you can't just unplug a PCI device from the host and plug it to the VM as you can do with USB devices, so you still can't make networking work under VMware, the pcnet is the only network card you can show to guest systems.

Could you please explain how to setup the IP and the default gateway route ? I am trying on a laptop, but when I reboot I loose the values I used. Thx,

I know about the pcnet only available to vmware.

 

I use vmware to test things without loosing internet connection/browsing/etc, but when I advance I reboot directly in Darwin and test those things I made in vmware.

 

I don't know how to set up the IP and route and kept the values next time it boots, maybe a scritp in the rc can easy that.

 

I'm investigating where my PowerBook's saves it, maybe a .plist file
