hey guys,

a quick way to see if your ethernet card is recognized as built in is using the foundry id app

ethernetbuiltin worked under leopard but didnt work on snow leopard for me. so i used efistudio, generated the string for ethernet and copied the info from the com.apple.bootlist file written to /Library/Preferences/System Preferences
to
/Extra
and voila, now Avid works!

Here's my com.apple.boot.plist (1st string ethernet/ 2nd GFX):

TBH i prefer to avoid giving any support to anyone who use distros. I'm strongly against distros, they can be very problematic when it comes to troubleshooting because you never know what changes have been made to the original Vanilla files. Sorry.

the path of this file is:snow leopard hdd extra folder

EthernetBuiltIn not EthernetBuildIn, a small typo that makes a big difference.

And delete the <key>Kernel Flags</key> line, it doesn't has a <string> so it may only confuse the bootloader.

If you can't save the boot.plist file after editing it, it's normal. Save it on your desktop first, and then replace the files.

to mr XlR...or to anybody tha could help me..

my ethernet is ok,and it is eno,i midified the file com.apple.boot.plist and the path is hdd extra folder,with2 ways,the first was copy paste the :<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
AND NOTHING,AND THE OTHER WAY WAS WITH OSX TOOL,WENT TO ETHERNET AND SAVE IT LIKE AS XML,AND COPY AND PASTE FROM THE ETHERNET.PLIST TO COM.APPLE.BOOT.PLIST.and again nothing,avid machine machine id is blank,and in the system prifile,network-ethernet i see many information of my connection.i'am working a short film, and install windows 7 with media composer 5 and it;s working,but i don't like windows,can anybody help me, it;s my fisrt time here iam new.
