jakealley26 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'm having a similar issue with a Realtek nic. I wonder if putting in a pci nic that is known to be natively compatible would work. Would anybody know how to go about doing that? I stuck in an older Realtek and it didn't get recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Xuraz, is this a wireless connection or a wired connection? I have enablers for both. What is the device ID for your controller? If it's not in my enablers I can add the ID for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuraz Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Sorry for late response... Its a wired card. I dont know the device id, how do i find the device id? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you want to get the IDs in Mac OS, download OSx86 Tools, click View PCI IDs or similar, let it install what it needs to, restart, relaunch OSx86 Tools, and click View PCI IDs. You should be able to recognize your Ethernet controller in there. The IDs will be in brackets. In Windows, open Device Manager, find your Ethernet card, double-click it, hit the Details tab, and choose Hardware IDs from the pop-up menu. The IDs will be after VEN_ and DEV_.

PookyMacMan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Here are 4 kexts in this zip. Drag IONetworkingFamily.kext and BCM5722D.kext into /Extra/Extensions and restart. If that doesn't work, delete BCM5722D.kext and throw AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext in /Extra/Extensions. If that doesn't work, delete AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext and put AppleBCM440XEthernet.kext in /Extra/Extensions. If that doesn't work, I can try patching the kexts in a different way.

Xuraz Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thanks testing right now.. Reporting later I dont have the "/Extra/Extensions" Folder, can i place it in SLE? My comp dosen't boot after adding IONetworkingFamlily.kext and BCM5722D.kext (( Help OOPS nvm it booted by default to my flashdrive soz xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Heh. xD You can place it in /S/L/E, but I haven't had much success there. If you have Snow Leopard, you can probably create an Extensions directory in /Extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuraz Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 None of them worked in /S/L/E... Where do i create the "/Extra/Extensions" folder? And do i have to copy all kexts from S/L/E to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Did you install Chameleon to the EFI partition? Under normal conditions there is an Extra folder at the root of your hard drive. If not, most likely you have Chameleon on your EFI partition. Open Terminal and type: diskutil list You should find a list of your disks on your system. Find your OS X drive. Look above your partition; there should be a partition called "EFI" (or a partition about 200 MB). Note the diskXsY numbers at the right; the X and Y will be partition numbers, such as disk0s1. Once you have those numbers, type the following: mkdir /Volumes/EFI mount_hfs /dev/diskXsY /Volumes/EFI See if there is something in that volume. There might be an Extensions folder or an Extra folder; if there's Extra, look in there to see if there is an Extensions folder. Wherever it is, if you can find a Extensions folder anywhere, put those kexts in there and reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuraz Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 It gives me Permision Denied. Fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Before you execute those commands, type sudo -s. That will log you in as root; you can then enter the commands I gave you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuraz Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I don't have any EFI partition... What should i do? Cause when i install the kext's to S/L/E and reboots, After that i try to open the network properties and it stucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Are you using MBR? There is an EFI partition only if you are using GPT. That's really odd...so you go to Network preferences and then it freezes...have you checked for an Ethernet card in System Profiler (located in /Applications/Utilities)? Boy, I've never run into this before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuraz Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sorry im new to all of this... What is MBR? and btw i tried all kexts and it doesn't find any Ethernet Cards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Okay, I'll repatch the kexts. MBR stands for Master Boot Record. It is the default partition scheme for BIOS-based machines. GPT stands for GUID Partition Table; it is used by EFI-based machines (including Macs). You can check in Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities); select your hard drive, and in the bottom it should say Master Boot Record or GUID Partition Table.

Xuraz Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Okay got it, it's a MBR. Is that good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 It's neither. It's merely a choice; some people prefer MBR, and some GPT (I personally prefer GPT). It's all opinion, though, so you don't need to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PookyMacMan Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Here are the kexts again. Install them the same way as before. http://www.mediafire.com/?j80d9xum4tcbcs5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
