Experimental Atheros AR81(31/32/51/52/61/62/71/72) Driver for 10.7/10.8

[terramir]

I got very strange ALX Ethernet crashes on 10.8.2 and H77-D3H.

 

For example, I can download and seed torrents all day and night at 100 Mbps without any crashes. But when I play World of Tanks with Skype and media server running at the same time I got kernel panic. Once I got 3 crashes in 5 minutes at same circumstances, just started Skype, media server and WoT. Maybe driver cannot handle several opened ports and simultaneous connections.

 

Then I downloaded at googlecode alx sources, upgraded the project from SDK 10.7 to 10.8, validated project to recommended settings and compiled only x86_64 version (ML don't need x86 code). Got kext twice smaller than the original one.

Today it will be 10 days after install of recompiled kext and no kernel panics happened. Will test harder to see if kernel panic will happen in future.

 

Hey I got stability problems with network loads as well can you please share your recomplied version because I would really like to try it, also on another note I'm having severe problems with network sharing from wifi to this ethernet adapter, it's working somewhat but need reboots all the time. Would be nice to get this stable. I would like to try yours to see if it's more stable.

I rebuilt the ALXEthernet in Xcode for Intel 64-bit using only 10.8 as target. The kext loads normally:

 

41    0 0xffffff7f82236000 0x18000    0x18000    com.insanelymac.ALXEthernet (1.0.2) <40 10 5 4 3 1>

 

What I got was slightly better speeds, but with the same issue as before, namely:

 

whenever I go to a site like speedtest.net for testing your internet connection, basically as soon as it starts testing your upload speed, my machine panics.

 

I added the LAN controller (AR8161) as an EFI string to com.apple.Boot.plist, and I saw the kernel panic output when it happens, but only once; I see no kernel

panic output no more. I tested booting from Linux mint live cd, and the thing works like a charm, so it is clearly related to this driver. After having built the project,

it does have 31 issues, so maybe someone who is familiar with the programming can take a look at it.

 

Xcode project in zip archive:

 

http://www.4shared.com/zip/cRR5oN16/ALXEthernet.html

[chinadrumsticks]

And here is a typical KP output after failing the "upload internet speed test". The driver is fully functional in Linux,

maybe it's OS X's fault. I might as well use Linux after all.

 

 

[timmel26]

I'm getting the same panic as well. I would love to help out here but obviously I'm not into driver developement at all.

So I'm just bumping this in hope for a fix which would be highly appreciated.

I think the problem is that not enough people are into translating linux drivers, and also a complication is that it's always harder to do drivers for the combination hackintosh and OS X, since Apple obviously did not design OS X, specifically to work with non-Apple hardware. But the issues will be fixed eventually, as more and more people buy the mobos with the AR8161 etc..

 

Can somebody recommend me a good pci-e gigabit ethernet board which preferably works out-of-the-box? I have GA-Z77-DS3H rev 1.1

Bro! I have MB like you, and 100% test and work on high load this card http://www.koutech.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=329

Buy card on Amazon or Ebay! Work OutOfTheBox, have Marvel chip)

Thanks a lot! I will try it out

[timmel26]

Looks like this here is worth posting.
For the GA-Z77-DS3H I first updated the BIOS with GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS, then did a vanilla install using:

• Pandoras Box
• FakeSMC
• Clover EFI + Configurator
• AppleHDA 10.8.4 ALC887
• This network driver of course

and wouldn't get any crashes when using Time Machine / transferring huge files over the network for the last three days.
Maybe the BIOS update magically fixed the issue.

Thanks for the tip! I still have the same issue though, I don't think it's related to hardware, or firmware for that matter, because it worked fine with previous BIOS version under Linux.

So it's clearly related to a bad driver (and there are no other driver that can help) for this particular lan controller. So I'm hoping the koutech board above will solve my issue.

 

You could check this site out:

 

www.bredbandskollen.se (swedish version of something like speedtest.net)

 

The driver fails every time when testing upload speed. Boot with -v to get the panic output.

[timmel26]

Looks fine on my end.

[chinadrumsticks]

Looks fine on my end.

 Ok weird... Could be that when the NIC tries to send, the driver only panics when link speed is in the higher ranges. My upload speed usually averages

around 80 Mbit/s

around 80 Mbit/s

 

Despite that the upload speed test fails, it could be that my machine behaves more stable now overall, since I rarely utilize any high bandwidth uploads.

Time will tell, I guess. Whatever the case, I will sample a new ethernet expansion card in a couple of days, should be interesting.

[chinadrumsticks]

I can now gladly verify that my new ethernet card works out-of-the-box as of yet. I have installed the koutech board suggested by

"diablothebest". Thank you so much! I appended ".disabled" to the filename of ALXEthernet.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/IONet-

workingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ in single user mode. Restarted and disabled the onboard LAN controller from BIOS just to be safe.

 

Check out my speedtest this time

That’s really impressive. What a connection you have!

Hehe. Yeah, One of the few great things about living here is the standard of broadband connection. It's a 100/100 link

[timmel26]

Congrats on getting it working, chinadrumsticks. Enjoy your new (hopefully stable) card.

[xpamamadeus]

If someone need just updated ALXEthernet with cosmetic change to display right model like name of adapter in profiler.

Dont know if this its the right way to change this but its working for me.

Old Code

CODE

  ALX_PCIDevice->setProperty("model", "ALX Ethernet Driver");
  setProperty("name", ALX_deviceTable[ALX_DeviceTableIndex].name);

new code
 

CODE

  ALX_PCIDevice->setProperty("model", "ALX Ethernet Driver");
  setProperty("name", ALX_deviceTable[ALX_DeviceTableIndex].name);
  setProperty("model", ALX_deviceTable[ALX_DeviceTableIndex].name);

before wass just ALXEthernet but now must display right name.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/p5dhz2bpvf31qfn/A...hernet.kext.zip


please report if its working for u.
Thx.

Hello,

 

I was using ALXEthernet with Z77-DS3H rev 1.1 chip AR8161.

I remove it because of sleep issue. (ML 10.8.5)

In vmware you can't use bridge option.

 

I take a look in code but without understanding what's wrong.

New code has been posted on linux forum.

 

May be Shailua could update her code , it would be nice.

 

Regards.

Hi,

I'm using a Z77-D3H rev1.0 motherboard (AR8151) @ bios F18.
Using old AtherosL1cEthernet driver Fusion's bridged mode was working ok.
Now I'm using latest ALXEthernet 1.0.2. Everything appears good but bridged mode on Fusion fails (it's the same on Fusion 5.X or 6.X).

Console log on Fusion startup says:

kernel[0]: vmnet: bridge-en0: media 2 dev 0xffffff803c1c5428 family 2
kernel[0]: vmnet: bridge-en0: Cannot bridge to interface type 0. Interface must have type Ethernet or IEEE 802.11 Wireless.

Any news/ideas on how to fix this?

Bridged mode generally requires ethernet controllers to enter promiscuous mode.

This driver (as of 1.0.2) explicitly returns kIOReturnUnsupported in enablePacketFilter/disablePacketFilter in case of promiscuous mode request (kIOPacketFilterPromiscuousAll selector).

 

Removing the selectors in enablePacketFilter/disablePacketFilter to let the default handler call setPromiscuousMode() may solve the problem.

caveat --- the author might have disabled the mode because of some problem.

 

So, you need to fix and build the code.

Hi!

 

Reporting a very annoying bug: I always get a KP after a few minutes of usage when transferring data from a computer to another, or when downloading large files. The issue happens only with my 1201n, but not with my B75-D3H which has the same built-in ethernet card and uses the same driver. 10.8.5 here, but i tested with every other 10.8 version and also with 10.7.0-5, same results.

 

All the best!

[jomanscool2]

I've been having problems with this network card occasionally and seemingly randomly causing a KP in 10.9 with a GA-H87N-Wifi.

I've resorted to using wifi for the stability, as neither of the onboard gigabit NICs seem to be working properly. Figured I'd post what I've got to see if it can help out.

cos of this kext... test it only with AppleIntelE1000e and I did not have this spam in logs... only with  ALXEthernet

 

can you please look at this problem...
