MY COMPUTER SPECS:
-----------------------------------
MOBO: ASUS P5K3 DELUXE
CPU: INTEL Q6600 2,4 GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1066MHz
GRAPHICS CARD: NVIDIA 8800 GTX
OS: MAC OS LION (IATKOS L2)
LAN: MARVEL YUKON & RTL8110SC

Lion recognize my 2 Gigabit ethernet cards. I tried to make them work on Link aggregation. Creates a bond0 interface but cannot connect. Somewhere I read that is a bug. Can someone confirm that or I am doing something wrong? I get an error "no partner" on settings.

[eep357]

have you verified that each one works separately, and can acquire an IP via DHCP, resolve DNS, go online, download and all that stuff?

[mac123456]

Strange things happens. At this moment both of them work separated. (Not In link aggregation)

2)http://i50.tinypic.com/2igowif.png

If I make Marvel Yukon inactive and go to work only with Realtek, realtek don't want to work. Lose signal, can't get router's ip, connects and disconnects immediately. Sometimes just seems to work just fine but I have no internet connection.

What's happening here. I use AppleRTL8189.kext from ######.
Also I have RLT8187 chipset on my mobo for wifi but is disabled from Bios.
Seems like Realtek kext get confused of something similar. Has a very strange behaviour that I cannot explain.

[eep357]

using Lnx2Mac realtek or official 2.0.6 realtek driver? If device ID for yours is 8167, the official realtek driver should work fine.

My device ID is right but realtek is not working right. And of course can't get Link aggregation :/

[eep357]

That version shown there is for IONetworkingFamilyKext, go into it's plug-ins folder and see if AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext is version 2.0.6

[mac123456]

Yes. Is version 2.0.6. I went from terminal to /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
I open the current folder with finder (open .) and I press "Get info" into

AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext

[eep357]

Have you added both of them to your DSDT already?

If deactivating Marvel from BIOS, does problem continue?

[mac123456]

I don't know what's DSDT and how work with it :/
Deactivating Marvel from Bios, Realtek made a try to connect. He took ip address for 2 seconds and after that lost it.

[eep357]

OK, first you'll need to extract your DSDT. Use Chameleon Wizard, it has a DSDT tab you can use to extract it from. Once extracted, just upload the file here. Also download and install this  LSPCI.zip   288.33KB   2 downloads , once it's installed open terminal ant type:

lspci -b -nn

And post the results here as well. If you know how to save and upload your IOreg, do that too, if not, don't worry about it.

[mac123456]

Ok. I went to Settings -> Bootloader -> DSDT&Bios -> Extract acpi
On Desktop appears a folder named ACPI. Into this, has a lot of files and DSDT.aml too.
This is my DSDT.
Also I installed lspci but bash returns me

Georges-Mac-Pro:~ sk8harddiefast$ lspci -b -nn
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

[eep357]

reboot after install. Sometimes needed, sometimes not.

upload DSDT in it's original format, must be .dsl or.aml. Just click on "more reply option" in the bottom RT corner of the comments box here, and on advanced screen click "choose file" navigate to it and choose it, then click "attach this file" you may have to zip it first before upload, but lately InsanelyMac has been automatically zipping them for me, thank's InsanelyMac

[mac123456]

Ok. It's giving output now

Never mind,got it to compile by copy and paste into new editor. Still need lspci though

[eep357]

but I will still need IOreg. If you have downloaded xcode command line tools, you already have it and can search via spotlight. Otherwise you can DL and install the attached DSDTSE, when you launch the app, right in the middle of it's little window will be a button that says something about registry info. Click that and IOreg wiil launch. Then in menubar got to file, save, blah blah> upload here

Oh, and have both NIC's enabled when you do IOreg

Just Freeze on boot. I Delete via installation cd DSDT.aml and now boot again.

[eep357]

try this just to see if it boot fine before I go mucking around with the LAN. If you have boot problem, just tell chameleon to load a DSDT that doesn't actually exist. At boot prompt

DSDT=crap

where crap can be any word you like besides DSDT
