Aluminum Sponge Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Just speculating here, but it should work with your PCI RTL8139 chip. My RTL8139 is built-in on motherboard, but OS X recognizes it as a PCI device and it works with this driver. Give it a go, got nothing to loose and tons of internet pr0n to download.... On an unrelated note, I used this PCGenRTL8139Ethernet driver since OS X 10.4 days and popped it in when i first went to Leopard and it worked fine. However, when trying munky's boot method a few weeks ago, i used the opportunity to upgrade to this new driver specially designed for Leopard by some 'john stormdrake' avail from here. Do NOT use this! (At least if you have same or similar NIC as me, RTL8101L) Although the guy claims he made it specially for Leopard from the orByte's PCGenRTL8139 source, he sets it to Disable Flow Control which causes problems once you download something for a long duration with many peers (eg. BitTorrent). My internet worked just fine at first for browsing for a few days, but once I put a 6 GB torrent to download, I started seeing "TX outbound packet transfer error" like crazy in my system.log and "corrupt chunks" errors from my BT program. I tried all how, all ways, and user suggestions given to fix it, but nothing worked. Many people decided to get a Wii USB Ethernet converter to replace onboard RTL8139 NIC. But in the end I came back to this ancient PCGenRTL8139Ethernet KEXT and my 6GB downloaded great without a single error in system.log or my torrent program. It may be years old and unsupported, and not officially for Leopard, but I can deff say it solved my corrupt packet errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Ideneb and iatkos 10.5.5 its working out of the box. Does upgrading to 10.5.6 affect my R8139D? Is there a way to fix this?

ezeaceto Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have iDeneb 1.3 (OS X 1.5.5 with Vanilla kernel) working on a Lenovo 3000 V100, and the realtek card (RTL8139C) works if I select in the Ethernet drivers list the "RTL8201CL" driver. When I update to 1.5.6 using iDenebUpdateCombo (rev1) the Lan card works the first system restart, then it always appears as "cable unconnected". What can I do?

Tii09 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hey Brothers I am really new to the MACs! I have a problem! Well, I own a PCI Card with a Realtek 8139D chip! I bought it cos I hoped me stupido would get it to work! So far so good! I downloaded this PCGenDriver here, removed the Apple Drivers in the Extensionfolder and in the IONetworkingFamily stuff! Then I replaced it with the PCGen ones!I hope that was right so far! But thats the point where my brain stucks! I heard something about fixing permissions and stuff! Well, I did the terminal part from the readme file, my PC rebooted, but nothing changed! System profiler doesn't show any PCI Cards and Network Preferences do only show FireWire ( whatever that is ) and Built in something! When I want to configure Ethernet, it says thePC doesn't have ethernet! Can someone help me, I am freaking out! Best regards ( sorry for my English, ... German education hahaha ) Hope you guys can help me real quick! -Flo I have iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOR LEOPARD: --------------------------------- Thanks to John Stormdrake, a driver for Leopard is now available here. Files ---------------------------------- 1.

For Kernel 8.8.1 (10.4.8) + IONetworkingFamily (1.5.1) For Kernel 8.4.1 (10.4.6) + IONetworkingFamily (1.5.0) (10.4.7) + IONetworkingFamily (1.5.0) (10.4.8) + IONetworkingFamily (1.5.0) Other configurations may work, but these are the ones I have tested. ******************************************************************************/ DISCUSSION THREAD STARTS BELOW: Hi all, I am pleased to announce the release of PCGenRTLEthernet8139.kext - another addition to the 'Generic PC drivers' project for Darwin. This driver is based on the AppleRTL8139Ethernet-3 and AppleRTL8139Ethernet-4 sources and extends functionality to include ON-BOARD RTL 8139/810x Fast Ethernet Family devices, which were previously unworkable. The driver will continue to work for add-on devices. It should be backwards compatible with the Apple versions. CHANGES --------------------------------------------------------- 10/01/07 * Changes on x86 based systems: (+) Added MMIO access mode (adds support for on-board RTL8139/810x family devices) (+) To override PIO mode, added ForceMMIOAccess (true/false) key to Info.plist, default false. (+) Added hard chip reset if soft reset fails logic. CREDITS --------------------------------------------------------- - Thanks to Owen Wei for the original Apple Realtek code. This was invaluable. - Thanks to cremes' OSX tulip driver. - Thanks to Linux. In my case. Gentoo 2.6.17. discussion Problem: On-board RTL8139/810x devices are not detected by the AppleRTL8139Ethernet driver. Cause: The Apple driver only used PIO access to speak to the RTL chip. But PIO access fails to initialize for on-board devices. Solution: Using MMIO acces mode works for on-board devices. Implementation Options Considered: 0. Make 2 versions of the kext using a compiler directive selecting PIO/MMIO at compile time (e.g. Linux). Advantages: Simple to do. Disadvantages: Two kext versions, user specifies which one. 1. Make 1 version of the kext using MMIO only. Advantages: Simple to do, tested and works. Disadvantages: Breaks compatibility with existing code base. 2. Make 1 version of the kext with run-time PIO/MMIO allocation. Advantages: Single kext, retains backwards compatibility. Disadvantages: Need to create fast coding model. We could have done something like: inline UInt32 csrRead32( UInt16 offset ) { if (ioAccessMode == kIOAccessModeIsPIO) return pciNub->ioRead32(offset, csrMap); else return OSReadLittleInt32( ( void * ) csrBase, offset ); } But this is not true run-time allocation. Instead, this is a good case for using the features of C++ - in particular, the ability the cast a derived class to a base class. For interested parties, the details are in the code, but the final implementation is class based: class ioAccessor : public OSObject { OSDeclareAbstractStructors ( ioAccessor ) public: virtual void csrWrite32 ( UInt16 offset, UInt32 value ) = 0; virtual void csrWrite16 ( UInt16 offset, UInt16 value ) = 0; virtual void csrWrite8 ( UInt16 offset, UInt8 value ) = 0; virtual void csrWrite32Slow ( UInt16 offset, UInt32 value ) = 0; virtual void csrWrite16Slow ( UInt16 offset, UInt16 value ) = 0; virtual void csrWrite8Slow ( UInt16 offset, UInt8 value ) = 0; virtual UInt32 csrRead32 ( UInt16 offset ) = 0; virtual UInt16 csrRead16 ( UInt16 offset ) = 0; virtual UInt8 csrRead8 ( UInt16 offset ) = 0; protected: virtual bool init ( ); }; as the abstract base class, then class ioAccessorPIO : public ioAccessor { ... }; class ioAccessorMMIO : public ioAccessor { ... }; which implement the appropriate access methods and variables.

ezeaceto Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hello, I've installed a clean installation of Leopard 1.5.6 on a Lenovo 3000 V100. It works great, and I could fixed the problem with the ALC883 audio driver. Now the Ethernet is my big problem. It's a RTL8139 on board controller. Which works good on Leopard 1.5.5, but there is no driver on iDeneb 1.4 for this card (don't know why). I tried downloading and installing the "Leo 4 all" driver, but it doesn't work. Also, I run OSX86 Tools, which looks for drivers, and install them... It downloaded a "MACG2.zip" or something like that identifying my card as a RTL8139. But didn't work, my network card is not listed in "System Preferences". What can I do? Which is the driver to install, or the modifications to do? My kernel is the Vanilla 9.6 (or 9.5.... the default on ideneb 1.4). Thanks very much, Ezequiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himalayas Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Is it possible to modify the 10.6 source code to support onboard RTL8139?

My config is the one on my signature: Asus p5kpl-AM On board Realtek 8139 LAn. IDeneb, now on version 10.5.8 (I accidentally updated it...) Darwin version 9.6.0 The Lan worked fine with the RTL8139 kext... after the accidental update, I lost connection. The nic appears as detected., but it says that the network cable is unplugged... I'm a newbie, so I am attaching the system log and the network preferences screenshot... Need help here, I've been reading a lot, and don't know what to do...

But in network utility it says disconnected.. The problem is that Mac doesnt boot up the card on reboot ..So i think what you guy used to make your card work might work for 8185 but i have no idea on how to do that..so i would appericate it if anyone helps me out..
