Chris..M Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi, I've successfully got my Hackingtosh up and running with Cover. The only issue I have is my Ethernet (Configured to 'Automaticlly') is setting the speed to 100baseTX. I can manually set it to 1000baseTX but on testing its only working at 100base. My set up is Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H Core i5 4670K Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 16GB (8GBx 2) Samsung 840 EVO 250GB GeForce GT640 2GB TP-Link TL-WDN4800 (although I connect via ethernet) IOGEAR GBU521 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Thermaltake PSU SMART 550W/ 80plus I have RealtekRTL81xx in EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 Running Widows 8 on the machine works at 1000base. And I'm sure on previous installs (using Chameleon) it's worked at 1000base. My other similar system with a GA-Z87-HD3, Core i3 and 8GB Ballistix has the same set up and is working at 1000baseTX? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris..M Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi, Thanks for you responses. I tried installing into S/L/E but still have the same problem. How do I install into IONetworkingFamily ? I simply copied it into Plugins but on re-boot I have no ethernet at all. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styrian Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hello! Copy IONet... to your desktop and after adding the used realtekkext install it back with kextutility to S/LE. There are some versions for this kext, which you can try. One is done by Mieze the other one by Slice and also in the downloads of Realtek.com is one for Lion. This version is working for me til Mav and should be worth for giving a try under Jose. I did not use the original installer. I have extracted only the kext and installed it as plugin in IONet.... Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
