miko1979 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hello everybody. After a long time of searching I hope anyone of you can help. My Hardware: Asus P5Q Premium Core 2 extreme 8GB DDR2 SDRAM nvidia 8800GTX sound & grafic works fine The Ethernet chip on the board is "Marvell 88E8056" I installed the driver "IONetworkingFamily.kext" with Kext Helper When I try to open "System preferences - Network" the settings do not start, just keeps saying "Loading Network..." and I have to close "System preferences by "Force Quit" I found the following solution, but every string I should change is already as it should be (find and change: <key>Yukon-88E8053</key>) (to: <key>Yukon-88E8056</key>) <-- change "53" to "56" (find and change: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053</string>) (to: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8056</string>) <-- change "53" to "56" (find and change: <string>0x436211AB</string>) (to: <string>0x436411AB</string>) <-- change "62" to "64" (press Control-O) <-- saves changes (press Y and Enter) <-- accepts saving to existing file (press Control-X) <-- exits nano sudo chown -R root:wheel IONetworkingFamily.kext cd /System/Library sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache REBOOT Has anyone ever heard about this problem?

miko1979 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Problem solved! Edited the original IONetworkingFamily.kext (not the downloaded one!) by doing this (thanx Ryoko!): To get your Yukon 88E8056 Ethernet to work, you need to add your device id to the AppleYukon.kext. Go to Terminal and type: cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/Info.plist (find and change: <key>Yukon-88E8053</key>) (to: <key>Yukon-88E8056</key>) <-- change "53" to "56" (find and change: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053</string>) (to: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8056</string>) <-- change "53" to "56" (find and change: <string>0x436211AB</string>) (to: <string>0x436411AB</string>) <-- change "62" to "64" (press Control-O) <-- saves changes (press Y and Enter) <-- accepts saving to existing file (press Control-X) <-- exits nano sudo chown -R root:wheel IONetworkingFamily.kext cd /System/Library sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache REBOOT then copied IONetworkingFamily.kext to my boot USB stick, and it works fine!

xdanisx Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 So that's all I need to do? I don't need to download any kexts or anything? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdanisx Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 That isn't working for me. I've tried everything on my ASUS P5E Deluxe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
