Rytz Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 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: http://www.insanelym...showtopic=29044 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=226359 [system Specs] Dell Inspiron 17R N7110 (Laptop) CPU: i5-2450 Audio: Realtek ALC269 HD Vidoe: Intel HD3000 6G RAM [Realtek RTL8101E / RTL8136 Details] (From Windows HWInfo64) RealTek Semiconductor RTL8101/2/3 Family Fast Ethernet NIC Vendor Description: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Maximum Link Speed: 100 Mbps PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_04D81028&REV_05 [install Steps] [step 1]: Download the official Realtek driver for mac 10.7 (listed "MacOS 10.7 on Intel-based Mac computer", filename "RTGNICv2.0.6For10.7"): http://www.realtek.c...3&GetDown=false [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): http://www.osx86.net...do=file&id=1825 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. - Rytz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djouija Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 While this DOES allow for the Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E to work and actually get a connections (instead of the dreaded "self-assigned IP" and/or no connection message), it is still a temporary fix in that the card is only operating at 1/10th its optimal speed. Anybody have success in finding a kext to run this sucker at full 100mb connectivity? I've tried: Lnx2Mac's driver (http://lnx2mac.blogspot.ca/p/realtekrtl81xx-osx-driver.html) Slice's driver: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2608 Mieze's driver: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287161-new-driver-for-realtek-rtl8111/ and Realtek's official driver: http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false and only Realtek's with the manual settings below work: Configuration: manualSpeed: 10baseT/UTPDuplex: FullduplexMTU: Standard (1500) This however is not good enough for me; Looking for a better solution and will post back my results should I find any improvement. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lezardon Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 many many thanks for this. After days looking for a driver for my laptop Inspiron 3521 (Realtek 8101E) and headache in trying solutions from Mieze, Rehabman etc... I have tried this and it works perfectly on Sierra 10.12.5 ! The only thing is that the card appears in my Ioreg as RTL8169. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
