EdFlyer Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Altaic Can you post the source you've finished so far? I am willing to work on the driver to get it working. I have a marvel yukon chip also and I'm looking to getting it all running, but I need drivers. I already tried the 10.4.4 IONetworkingFamily.kext and it didn't work, just crashed OSX. But yeah, I'm willing to put some time into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 i've got the intel d915gev with yukon 88E8050. but the kext given doesnt work. i checked the plist and the id is included. followed the instructions but after booting up the os says it couldnt load the driver because of an error... running 10.4.3 ..009... native. any ideas? might it be because I manually edited a plist so that the OS says it was 10.4.4 ?

gizmo Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I get an authorization error owner of the yukon related files is wrong. I chowned and ran the disk utility to repair the rights (didn't find anything wrong with these files) but still doesnt load because of wrong access rights. during all the efforts and rebootings I had the yukon port blinking and was successfully pinging my router but then it was dead again. please provide instructions in what order i have to do what exactly (I was away from unix CLI for over 10 years now).

dreister Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 it is the PPPoE config that kills the yukon driver on gizmos computer. melvin: do you PPPoE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortis Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 in order to prevent reinstalling with every reboot, a) correct permisions delete extensions.mkext and extensions.kextcahche from /system/library/ good luck if anybody wonders, I "DHCP" and do not PPPoE in my setup......

mortis Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) mortis i'm a complete newbie in macos...can you explain with more detail what i have to do to make my marvell ethenet card works? i have downloaded this: [Violation of DMCA] what i have to do next? thanks in advance. every kext (kernel extension) is essentially a directory thad contains many files within. unzip the file you downnloaded then "right-click" on it and select "show package contents". You should find a new finder window that has a directory called "Contents" Open that one, ant the open the "Plugins" directory" Copy the AppleYukon.kext to your Desktop Now "right-Click" on AppleYukon.kext, and Show Contents there should be a file called info.plist edit that file to include your vendor/ID personally I do it Using the terminal.app, and pico then in terminal, sudo chown -R root:wheel /pathto/AppleYukon.kext try it with sudo ketload -t AppleYukon.kext if it works, move it inside your IONetworkingFamily kext: sudo mv -R AppleYukon.kext /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins then delete the kextcache sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.* and reboot GIZMO: did you user the -R flag in the chown command? as in "sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleYukon.kext" Edited February 17, 2006 by other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdFlyer Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 how far are you along in getting your driver to work? I have found that editing the plist doesn't get the driver working for me, instead it causes a kernel panic. So if its possible can you get the wired driver working. Thanks.

brockpetrie Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 moris you are a beautiful human being. running beautifully on my gateway with on board marvell yukon 88E8036 ethernet. thank you again man! now to get my broadcom wireless 4318 working! Where do I add my vendor ID to that file? scroll down the file awhile until you see a tag with a few chunks of text that look like 0x845911AB. there is only one tag with that stuff in it, so you cant miss it. all you do now is put in your own device id + vendor id. for example, my device id is 0x4351 and my vendor id is 0x11AB. so just take the part of the vendor ID after the '0x' and append it onto the end of your device ID. so what i ended up adding to the file was: 0x435111AB Can anyone tell me how do I look up the device ID in windows. I thought it would be in device manager, but the format in windows seems different than the one in mac os.How exactly should I add it then? http://www.pcidatabase.com has a great database of products and their respective device ID's, as well as the ID's of their vendors. hope that helps you guys!

p3n5t3r Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I just can't load that driver. I'm using Marvell Yukon EC 88E8053 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller which is on my asus motherboard. The correct vendor ID is allready in the info.plist. When I try to load it I get authentication failures. File owner/permissions are incorect. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortis Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 if you get incorrect owner/permissions, you must chane the ownership of the kext and all its files to root/wheel sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleYukon.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
