Right on!!!!!!! Just got my Marvell Yukon 88E8038 PCI-E Fast Ethernet working on my Gateway MX3701 Core Duo Laptop (both cores working, super smooth performance).

Much thanks to Killerz and iCrash for advice.

Just to clarify for those who have the same chipset but cannot get working. Make sure u change the chipset ID in (Info.plist) to your chipset ID (like iCrash advised) (2 different places inside info.plist) besides the other changes.

Now if I can only get this stubborn sound card SigmaTel 9200 (with strange SUBSYS ID. ) working . Tried all the Linux dumps available but no success. Tried to do own dump with Knoppix but can't even get dump info on my sound card inside Knoppix. GGrrrrrrr. Oh well, I have got USB speakers that provide me sound vis USB for now.

Thanks again, Blog

anyone got it working on the Acer 3680?

[alereon]

Tried this on Acer  3680, change everything to 88E8038 and device id to 4352 and doesn't work. Sorry for double post. Didnt realise.

I own an Acer too (3682) with 4352 device ID. I'm afraid that the problem is Acer-specific...

My notebook is Acer aspire 5585, and it seems that the mac os x 10.4.6 can't detect the netcard! Anyone have the same notebook?

[kingxt]

My notebook is Acer aspire 5571, 88e8038 doesn't work too.....

Have you any idea to fix it?

Save the file.
Exit the file.

Do you save the file through the file menu or terminal? if terminal, how?
