killerz Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 JUST WANNA SHARE. Im using a toshiba satellite A80. on an Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet 1) Get the device id of the ethernet controller. Go into Windows -> Device Manager. Find the ethernet controller and get Properties on it. For mine, it is vendor 11AB Device 4351 it might be different between machines. please check! Click the Details tab and read the vendor id and device id. The vendor id is going to be "11AB" 2) In OSX, go into Terminal and edit the following file: sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon.kext/Contents/Info.plist if u get an "Open with" dialog, right click the file and click "Show Package Contents" Scroll down and find the following: <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x436211AB</string> Replace the bold numbers with the device id you found above. Save the file. Exit the file. 3) Delete the following files. In Terminal, type (or copy and paste): sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache 4) Repair permissions. In Terminal, type: diskutil repairPermissions / 5) Reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monggo2k Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Killerz... your finding is brilliant. It works on my Marvell Yukon 88E8055 (on 10.4.8/7) too... Thanks buddy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vigor Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) It also doesn't work for my 88e8038. Probably because this netcard is a little special! Anyone please help! After reboot, I got an error message indicating wrong vendor number(435211AB )! Edited January 25, 2007 by vigor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCrash Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I have an 88E8038 as well but with VEN ID 11AB and DEV ID 4352. I tried this once already with no sucess (I couldn't get permission to write to the file), but I'm going to try again after a fresh install.

iCrash Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Ok guys, I got it to work! Change anything that has the incorrect model # for your ethernet (ex. change 88E8036 to 88E8038); there should be two places you need to do this. Then change the string as mentioned to the appropriate DEV ID. Save the file by hitting Ctrl+O then Enter to accept the file name. Do steps #3, 4, 5 the same. Shut down instead of rebooting if your system hangs on reboot. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfdood Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I have an 88E8038 as well but with VEN ID 11AB and DEV ID 4352. I tried this once already with no sucess (I couldn't get permission to write to the file), but I'm going to try again after a fresh install. move it to the desktop first then edit the file, once edited delete the orig, then copy the edited file back... repair permissions and reboot... there may be a better way, bit thats how I do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCrash Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks, but I already got it, lol. Guess we were typing at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziz Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Hi, I have a Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet just like "Killerz" even the device and vendor are the same. and I tried to install it as he said in this thread (on a 10.4.6) but it doesn't work! BTW, it replaced the code and it became like this <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x43435111AB</string> any solution?

RocKWooD Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) Thank you, tesekkuler, Arigato, Danke shon.... Aziz I think you wrote it wrong or maybe Mac did it.I am not sure but 0x43435111AB shouldnt be like this. If you are completely sure that you have vendor 11AB Device 4351 Change it to 0x435111AB It looks like 62 changed with 4351 but it is sufficent to change 62 with 51. Inform us, later.

Neo-Keledai Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi everyone, I'll try to change to what should be in here. But it doesn't work... One question, how to check whether the Ethernet Card already properly installed? I hope I'm not the only one that having this problems.... Thanks.

DiaboliK Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) all this coulda been found in my marvell fix link in my sig, just apply it to your card. not that big of a discovery. the big one is if people would actually find the search..... *edit* my thread was created after yours but it was on the board in a different thread before we switched skins Edited February 25, 2007 by DiaboliK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
