GuyPicks Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks to the forum and all the programmers here, I got my Snow Leopard 10.6.4 up and running like a charm. All is well except for the Yukon 88E8057. It doesn't see the ports at all. I've tried just about everything out there. I've even tried editing my own info.plist with no luck. any help here would be much appreciated. My hat's off to the programmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 no guarantees this will definitely work, but in theory (at least my theory ) it should, take the normal precautions before trying...but you don't have to i modded the kext below just a tiny bit to try and include your built in ethernet to install: open terminal (in apps/utilities) sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext (type your root password) close the terminal download and use the kext utility (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=50182), drag the kext i uploaded at the bottom of this post to install it to be sure that all permissions etc. are correct, download and run the pfix v3.1 utility (http://osx86.sojugarden.com/files/pfix3.1.tar.bz2) and run it on the appropriate HDD cross fingers reboot post back your results IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my 88e8057: Vender: PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_4380&SUBSYS_ABCD3842&REV_10 Device Name: Marvell Yukon 88E8057 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller I got this info off my windows devices. If I can get a prebuilt Kext I can load it with kexthelper b7. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 ...i already gave you the kext in the bottom of my last post, you just simply need to install it, is there a part of the instructions that i didn't explain properly? if so then just ask EDIT: hold on, looking at the string you just posted, i don't think the kext i gave will work for you, let me just double check EDIT2: ok, sorry about that, i changed it slightly, try following the same instructions with the following kext instead of the one above (don't forget to unzip it) IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time I could see my ports. (huge step) I rebooted: I get the message cable unplugged. I can't access the internet yet. Seems we're headed in the right direction... Just a note: All my local network settings are correct. I copied them off my other Mac. My other mac is unplugged. Still says cable unplugged. I appreciate all your help JB.

J.B Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 try this one using the same method, i'm running out of ideas as well now EDIT: ive also read that enabling networking related options in you BIOS (wake on LAN etc) and similar things in windows can help, so you could give that a try too IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 on primary drive and Win 7 x64 on a secondary drive. I sure appreciate all your time here JB. at least we've made some headway. I did study the kext you made. I'm beginning to understand some of what's going on here. There seems to be other models represented in this kext. Is that correct? anyways thanks.

TheF4LL3N Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Any updates? I have the same Ethernet chipset on my EVGA P55 FTW, everthing else is working fine under 10.6.4 besides the ethernet.. Someone shed some light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGianca Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Any updates? I have the same Ethernet chipset on my EVGA P55 FTW, everthing else is working fine under 10.6.4 besides the ethernet.. Someone shed some light! Same here... got a EVGA P55 C200 and I got stuck with the ethernet... and the P55 C200 has ONLY PCI-E so if I want to add a dual ethernet it would be real expensive... I'm keeping trying to modify the kext from J.B. (thanx BTW) but so far no luck. Update: I just got the system profile recognizing the Marvell 88E8057, but the ethernet status is still "cable unplugged". Lights are on on both connectors when I plug cables on them, so the network status is lying.... Close, but no cigar. Here's the info from my system profiler: Marvell Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8057 Singleport Copper SA: Name: ethernet Type: Ethernet Controller Bus: PCI Vendor ID: 0x11ab Device ID: 0x4380 Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x3842 Subsystem ID: 0xabcd Revision ID: 0x0010 Link Width: x1 BSD name: en1 Kext name: AppleYukon2.kext Location: /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext Version: 3.2.1b1 Maybe this kext only work with single port cards...

YankeesNYC Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hey fellas I have the same mother board, the EVGA P55. Which method did you use to install osx? I have not had much success with just the install.

I have not had much success with just the install. Thanks! -Edward I have a EVGA p55 SLI board, and just installed OS X 10.6.5 last night using the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method. It was pretty easy, I also wasn't able to get ethernet working. I was able to get an old Buffalo wireless g card I had sitting around to work, so at least I have something.

AlexGen Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Any update on this? Am planning to get the EVGA P55 LE to build my 3rd OSX PC. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchase Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 try this one using the same method, i'm running out of ideas as well now EDIT: ive also read that enabling networking related options in you BIOS (wake on LAN etc) and similar things in windows can help, so you could give that a try too I tried this kext and it killed my network chipset, I think. Even in windows, I can't get the computer to recognize the network adapter. I guess I should know more about what I'm screwing around with before I do this kind of thing. Is there a way to write back the original kext? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to write back the original kext? sorry, havent looked at this in a while, but as far as i know, changing a kext in OSX shouldnt really affect a windows installation in that way, i guess you could try reinstalling the windows drivers though?
