autoy Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 i can help you too..... i have an asus a6va. say me where i can download the driver and i will test it. greetz manuel ps: great thing, that anyone is going to make a driver for the ethernet card! thumbs up! I am as well testing on the asus a6va laptop. A little update: the beta is coming along fast and well, just a few system lockups need to be ironed and maybe a few more basic features. I think we can expect a release very soon. A happy day for Yukon 8001 users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m.musashi Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 guys, an update driver is working but a big bug has been spotted (thanks to autoy). basically it has to do with the transmitter stalling when there's a fast stream of outgoing UDP packets. This happens with some p2p apps, resulting in a system freeze. It shouldn't be too hard to fix, but it requires time to stress test it (I use netperf for this which is a great little tool) However work has catched up, and since yesterday unfortunately time is not something that I have aplenty. If I don't find the time to fix it by Monday evening, I'll release the kext and the source as they are now. This way somebody else could have a look at it a help me speeding up the debugging. Almost forgot, this driver is not only for the 88e8001 chip; when completed it will support: + Marvell 88E8001, Belkin F5D5005, CNet GigaCard, DLink DGE-530T, + Linksys EG1032/EG1064, 3Com 3C940/3C940B, SysKonnect SK-9871/9872 these are the card supported by skge in linux. for yukon2 (88E8021,22,35,...) the linux driver is different (sky2) and currently implemented in appleyukon.kext (alas badly) on Monday I'll create a new thread with kext and sources bye mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoy Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Musashi, take your time to fix the bugs, don't be stressed because of that. If we waited for so many months some days more is just nothing. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m.musashi Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 men of little faith it's still Monday I had little time to sort out the UDP stream issue, but since the driver works fine for normal usage, I think some of you may appreciate to have it anyway I haven't created a new thread as I really am in a rush now The source will follow sometime during the week (need to edit a couple of comments and add a "license" header) Please don't post asking how to install it or edit the .plist to add your vendorid/devid - there's plenty of instruction in this forum - I will not answer anyway, enough talk, here's the driver bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnknownBadger Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Doesnt work for my card: Van 11AB Dev 4320 I get on startup "the system extention "/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ skge.kext" was not installed properly and cannot be used..." I get the same message afterwards for the AppleYukon.kext too. Removing the AppleYukon one doesnt do the trick. At one point i did have Built-In ethernet in the networking prefs pane but it said its not plugged in. typing in sudo dmesg somewhere in the mist there is a line starting with yukonOsx and the cards mac address. any ideas guys?

SaberSHO Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 UnknownBadger- your permissions are wrong...try running disk utility or do this: sudo chmod -R 755 System/Library/Extensions/ sudo chown -R root:wheel System/Library/Extensions/ (the -R is important) -SaberSHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
