cannon_dt Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hi, I managed to get my Mavericks up and running on my AMD machine and all is well except for internet. My LAN port got fried recently and ever since I have been using a D-Link DGE-528T ethernet PCI card. While this works OOB on my Linux machine I am unable to get this working on my Hackintosh. I have tried so many things but nothing seems to work. 1. I disabled my on board LAN controller on my BIOS but that did not help. 2. I took the RTL8169 kext from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200286-custom-kext-for-d-link-dge-528t-pci-network-card/ but that too did not work. I put this into my S/L/E and into my IONetworkingFamily/Plugins folder but no dice Whatever I do my hackintosh says that there are no PCI cards connected, I am completely stumped and I got no ideas, so please help me out. This is the only thing left for me to do on my mavericks setup, so I request you experts to lend me some advice Peace Ananth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 found this on google http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/osx/os_x_network_cards.html Looks like this requires a little editing skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannon_dt Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I saw that link already, problem is that the pystar link is dead. And I could not find it anywhere else. Believe me, google had very little to throw up and I did exhaust all that I stumbled upon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oculto Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CY0P7G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and do this on linux: sudo -s apt-get install ethtool ethtool -E eth0 magic 0x10D38086 offset 0x16 value 0x00 ethtool -E eth0 magic 0x10D38086 offset 0x17 value 0x00 ethtool -E eth0 magic 0x10D38086 offset 0x1A value 0xF6 Reboot. This will change the device-id and sub-ids to be OOB on mavericks. I did this last week and worked fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannon_dt Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks for the response but I just bought my D-Link card. Also I cannot find this PCI card out here in India. Is there some thing like this that I can try for the card that I already have and is working with Linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
