Greetings:

I'm still working on getting my system fully working with all the qwirks out but I had a crazy time getting the LAN card to work so I wanted to post the way to get it to work. I'll post full a full guide on tonymacx86 when I get finished.

Here's older related threads:

[Step 2]: Install the package. You'll be forced to reboot.
[Step 3]: Once back in OSX, you'll have to create an Ethernet adapter for your location. When you do, you'll need to manually configure the hardware for that adapter. See below:

(System Configuration Menu -> Network -> Ethernet -> Advanced -> Hardware)
Configuration: manual
Speed: 10baseT/UTP
Duplex: Fullduplex
MTU: Standard (1500)

These instructions taken from this post at osx86.net (using different drivers):

I can confirm that this works. I'm using my RTL8136 to make this thread.

Thanks for all the great info on this board and I hope this helps someone.

Sorry to make you butt-hurt for trying to help out.

...and i did try the latest Lnx2Mac drivers - neither release or debug found my card (didn't show in System Info). The official RTG did find my card. Maybe you should take your attitude somewhere else Mr. I'm-So-Awesome?

hows the sleep/wake mr 3 post guru. btw i see its not gigabit lan.. rather 100mb..and u set to 10mb.
im not claiming to have an awesome fix (that might break sleep) with 3 posts in my name.. not trying to discredit u but test your resolutions before u claim victory.
yes u can surf but now your wake probably doesnt work... if it ever worked. probably not. (if it did and now it dont.. try version 2.04 or 2.05)
(i rather buy a supported gigabit card . ahh u bought a laptop)

youll do great at tonywhack86.. ohh wait member since aug 2011 .. 2 posts.. yep youre doing great things!.
