1) If PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext is at the both locations i.e.

/System/Library/Extensions &

[ii] /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/

 

the kext is loaded but i get error as following:

and "dmesg | grep 8139" gives results as below

2) If PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext is only at one locations i.e. /System/Library/Extensions

 

then kext load fails with no PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext in the System Profiler.

i feel i'm very near, but dont know what exactly i'm doing wrong...

 

how to make PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext to act as plug-in of IONetworkingFamily.kext i.e. /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ without making two copies of PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext as one is already there in /System/Library/Extensions ??

...

 

Delete one of the two (e.g., /System/Library/Extensions) , then fix permissions, and reboot with the -f flag. That should do it.

 

You only need one. Two will create a problem. You could also delete both, then reinstall one at either location.

 

Best

Solved...!

 

I just tried anathor LAN card from the RealTek which shows RTL8139/810x on windows, and it has 8139c printed on it instead of 8139d.

 

and booommm... it worked as soon as i restarted the system after plugging it in without installing any kext what so ever...!!

Thankyou. Thankyou. Thankyou.

 

I installed mac os x 10.4.9 tubgirl release today on my amd 64 e-machines computer...

 

Sound didn't work but I found a realtek pkg on this forum, worked great. My ethernet did not work so first I tried using the nforce4 kext, it didn't work at all...

 

I noticed my other computer had an old ethernet card so I tried plugging that in. Mac os had a new kext error message. I had no idea what kind of ethernet card this was but I searched for the error message on this forum and came to your post. I did the 'risk takers' approach and went into system preferences>networking and low and behold built in ethernet was finally detected. I now have a fully working mac os x system! (i think)

 

So you can add that this will work with 10.4.9, at least the tubgirl amd release

com_orByte_driver_RTL8139: found PIO accessor at d001

But, i can't see my network card in the networkwindow

Problemo. The network card is present , but I can`t get IP address from DHCP. My ISP assings IP from DHCP automatically . In System Preference/Network always shows me that IP is 169.xxx.xxx.xx . I tried renew , but nothing changed . Any ideas????

 

I use Mac 10.4.8 SSE2/SSE3 by Jas kernel 8.8.1.

Hi guys!

 

I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pa1510 notebook, with Realtek 8139 ethernet, and installed Uphuck 1.4a successfully, but i dont have internet. I think Airport would work, but i cant test it right now. I tried with AppleRTL8139 modified and this PCGenRTL, but still, when i want to look at the network preferences it crashes, saying unexpected quit. Crash report says:Exc_bad_access, and Kern_invalid_id_address (0X0001) at 0Xa3250002. I dont know what to do, i followed the steps written here step to step. I deleted all instances of AppleRTL, and only PCGenRTL is shown in system profiler in software->Extensions Still nothing. Crashes all the time.

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance

using add-in PCI card RTL8139 (white box, unknown)

nic detected as Realtek1000 both before AND after installing PCGenRTL8139Ethernet-1.2.0

(as shown in System Profiler extensions pane)

 

had to backup and delete RealtekR1000.kext from

/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/contents/plugins folder before it worked

 

I'm guessing the RealtekR1000.kext was getting called before the PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext since both had

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x816910ec</string>

in their info.plist files, probably stops searching after first match

 

it may even have been enough to just do this since it's an add-in card rather than onboard and there's already an AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext installed by default - but haven't tested this.

 

Just in case it helps anyone else.

 

It helped. Thanks a lot. The card was al-cheapo RTL8139D based. Have to delete the RealtekR1000.kext

hi,

 

If I'm right, I can get my onboard RTL8139 Ethernet working on my uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4, if I use a kext from Tubgirl's appropriate release. Would someone help me and email it to me? having no other downloading opportunity, just my non-working osx86 laptop, I could hardly go on without your kind help...:rolleyes: please pm me, if you could send me this kext!

 

thanks in advance!

In installation information file there is a path to delete AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext directory

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext

 

But additional this driver is located in another location and in some situation (like I was) system hang out after start. So additional it shoud be deleted from /System/Library/Extension/:

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext

Hey Pal,

 

I made that mistake long time ago, actually my Dlink DFE-538TX is a Via Rhine Chip based NIC. I am using the driver from www.pinxue.net. It works for me under tiger and Leo! Make sure exact chip your NIC is using, then apply correct driver...

 

Good Luck,

 

Envying
