I don't know why it isn't working for you guys.

 

(Though, I am using my onboard Intel Marvel Yukon 88E8056 Gigabit Ethernet port, working flawlessly using vanilla kext.)

 

In fact, the most pathetic thing is that I am using a dummy model "Made in China" RTl 8139 PCI Ethernet card!

But the attached kext does the job for me.

 

Try installing it as suggested above by "GoodWorld".

It does work. Probably, place the modified IONetworkingFamily.kext in /Extra/Extensions/

Then rebuild kextcache using the following command:

chown -Rf 0:0 /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions
chown -Rf 0:0 /Volumes/Snow/Extra
chown -Rf root:wheel /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions
chown -Rf root:wheel /Volumes/Snow/Extra
chmod -Rf 755 /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions
chmod -Rf 755 /Volumes/Snow/Extra

chown -Rf root:wheel /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions/
chmod -Rf 755 /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions/
kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/Snow/Extra/Extensions/
chmod -R 755 /Volumes/Snow/Extra/Extensions/
kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /Volumes/Snow/Extra/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/Snow/Extra/Extensions/

Be it 32 bit or 64 bit mode of booting into Snow Leopard, the .mkext WILL definitely work! Coz I keep switching back and forth between both the modes whenever I am trying new stuff like applications or Kexts.

AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext.rar

IONetworkingFamily.kext IONetworkingFamily.kext.rar

Both are RAR files. Happy "connectivity"...

Freaky,

 

Thanks for the guide. I fall into those unlucky network-not-working. :wub:

 

When I followed your guide, the computer give me "permission error" when I executed kextcache command. So I run Kext Utility.app instead.

 

But still, the system can't event detect my network card. (onboard Rlt 8102 and PCI Rlt 8139).

 

Regards,

Hi guys!

 

I´m new in osx, i have 10.5.8 on G5 and this stupid rtl8139 card so internet was slow and i decided to replace the driver, so i replaced AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext and IONetworkingFamily.kext as was sugested: http://www.kexts.com/view/152-realtek_8139...)bit_drive.html

and that was my end, after that I try every possible solution found on this forum and nothing worked out. In my system info under pci slot 3, is 10ec,8139 driver:no
