wswaak Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi Im recently running OSX 10.4.8 on my AMD athlon 3500+ AsRock socket 939 Onboard Audio Realtek ALC850 Onboard Ethernet It all looks great but my internet isnt working, and without it im lost. The problem is that OSX thinks that the networkcable is disconnected, but it really isnt! It works great under XP. I tried giving mannually the IP adress, but still nothing. hope any one has a solution. A second problem is that i dont have any sound. Under preferences/sound/output is nothing i can select.... Hope anyone can help Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 you need some edited kexts/drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wswaak Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 hmm, ok but i tried searching the net. but i cant find anything any suggestions were to search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common Sense Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 check the wiki to see if your hardware is listed and how to get it to work: http://wiki.osx86project.org and if you want some help in this thread you can start by saying what nic (network interface card) you have. You should also try the search function to see if there is a thread on how to get your nic to work already. Edit: didnt see your last post before, just post what card you have and I will try to help!

wswaak Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 I dont really know, but i downloaded everest and it says ULi/ALi M5263 Fast Ethernet Controller (PHY: Realtek RTL8201CL/CP) Hope this is the information your asking for. All i found on the net was a kext called IONetworkingFamily.kext. Some people say that it worked for them other say that it doesnt. But i cant find where to download it. Maby there's an other solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common Sense Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Try downloading this driver: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hdckvv Scroll down and you will find the download link right under the google ads (with a red arrow pointing at it). After downloading it and extracting the file you will see a directory containing a couple of files, one of them is a kext file (actually a directory). Just copy the kext to /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns If you dont know here is the instructions: Start a terminal and go to the location where you downloaded and extracted the downloaded file, enter the directory that was unpacked and do the following: sudo cp -rf PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext Now you only need to reboot. Hope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wswaak Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Thank you Really for helping me! I tried to folow you instructions first i go to the directory were i download it. (i just drag the map in the terminal) This is the first time i use Mac OSX or the terminal, so I a tried the following I put in the text udo cp -rf PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext than i press enter I put in the tekst /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ and press enter udo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache press enter sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext press enter chown -R root:wheel press enter /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext press enter chmod -R 755 press enter /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext press enter I really dont know if this is right, but it gave some errors. Maby i misspeld something, or should i type in the whole text at once?? Im sorry for asking al these questions but im really new in this stuff and like to learn it. And get my internet to work ill try it again for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common Sense Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Only press enter where ENTER is indicated even if there is a new line, its a new line because it doesnt fit otherwise, if you see a new line just press space on the keyboard and continue to write until ENTER is indicated. sudo cp -rf PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ ENTER sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache ENTER sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext ENTER chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext ENTER chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext ENTER Hope its more clear now Otherwise just ask again.

wswaak Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thank you very very much, it worked. Im now typing this under OSX. I dont really know what i did but I guess i just needed a driver. Will this also work if i find a driver for my ALC850 onboard audiocard? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common Sense Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Great! Yes you should do the same for the sound just find the right driver and put it in, I found a AC97 kext that you could try if you want. Download http://www.nedprod.com/Niall_stuff/MacOS%2...7Audio.kext.zip and unzip it then just do almost the same as before start the terminal again and go to the directory where you unpacked the zip file there you will find the unpacked kext. sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext sudo cp -rf AppleAC97Audio.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext Reboot and hope for the best! If this doesnt work you need another version of AppleAC97Audio.kext, then you just browse the forum for another one that is supposed to work better for your setup and you do the same procedure with that one. For your sound card its this file you need the question is only which version you should get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wswaak Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hm i tried it but something I get this error in the terminal Last login: Wed Jul 11 16:16:41 on ttyp1 Welcome to Darwin! w-s-computer:~ ws$ cd /Volumes/Untitled/Video/AppleAC97Audio.kext/ w-s-computer:/Volumes/Untitled/Video/AppleAC97Audio.kext ws$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext Password: w-s-computer:/Volumes/Untitled/Video/AppleAC97Audio.kext ws$ sudo cp -rf AppleAC97Audio.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ cp: AppleAC97Audio.kext: No such file or directory w-s-computer:/Volumes/Untitled/Video/AppleAC97Audio.kext ws$ chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext chown: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext: No such file or directory w-s-computer:/Volumes/Untitled/Video/AppleAC97Audio.kext ws$ I've put the kext file into the Extensions library, but it didnt made a difference. Or should i just download an other version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common Sense Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I see the problem, your not supposed to write cd /Volumes/Untitled/Video/AppleAC97Audio.kext/ instead write cd /Volumes/Untitled/Video/ you cant be inside the AppleAC97Audio.kext since thats the one you will need to copy. So instead of writing cd /Volumes/Untitled/Video/AppleAC97Audio.kext/ write cd /Volumes/Untitled/Video/ and then write as you did before. Now when you are in the right directory to do this you should execute the commands exactly as they are and it will install the new drivers, hopefully it will also work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wswaak Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 too bad i didnt work, i installed the driver but OSX still couldnt find any output devices. ( preferences/sound/output) But I get the idea, hopefully i can find a version of this kext that will work on my system, fingers crossed. you've really been a big help, no way i could figure this out on my own. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giammy Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I've got the same onboard ethernet device (Realtek RTL8201CL) I follow the same tutorial in this topic, but for me doesnt work :wink2: Any other solution?

Common Sense Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Try this one: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W4G8GHD6 btw which ac97 hardware do you have? This one includes two more drivers. It would be helpful if you could find out who manufactured your ac97 controller. If you have Windows on your computer you could install (if you havent already) drivers from realteks homepage www.realtek.com.tw, just browse for windows drivers for alc850 and install, then you will get a utility that you can configure your audio with, somewhere in that utility you can read information about your sound hardware and find out what ac97 hardware you have, that would really be helpful. You might need to manually edit a file to add your device id for your sound controller, if you know which sound controller you have we might be able to find out which driver to add the device id to. Giammy ask the people in this thread http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...6xEthernet.kext if you want to know more about this driver, do you have an uli network controller? Apparently thats the only one the driver supports so if you dont then it will not work. 8201CL is just a phy so the actual hardware is manufactured by someone else than realtek. Could you find out who? I dont know how wswaak did to find out but he should be able to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wswaak Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Giammy, download Everest for windows. This gives you a detailed list of whats in your computer. So you can see if you Uli internet controller. Im now downloading the driver for my windows audio to find out wich one I have. edit: what I found : Realtek ALC850 @ ULi/ALi M5455 AC'97 Audio Controller Is this what you mean or do you need more information? My Vendor and Dev. number is 0x545510B9 I tried to edit this in the info.plist with nano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like its not compatible with OS X atm.http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;hl=ALi+M5455I downloaded it, it says i have: SiS 900 Fast Ethernet Adapter (PHY: Realtek RTL8201CL/CP) PCI Sorry cant find any driver for your card, the only RTL8201CL driver thats avaliable only works with Uli controllers. Your card is not compatible with OS X atm. There are really cheap nics you can buy that should work just fine have a look at the hardware wiki: http://wiki.osx86project.org.

pnkt Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thank you very much Common Sense.It worked for my integrated ethernet NIC on my Asrock 939Dual-Sata2 motherboard with Leopard installed. Weird, I have the same mobo Asrock 939Dual-Sata2 and I'm n00bishly messing around with a kalyway 1.5.2, i get a kernel panic on boot when i try this driver. Any ideas? Got it working now tried switching kernels a few times, but now it works on sleepkernel, think it just might have been a hardware OC related issue. Now for sound...doesn't look good with this mainboard... if anyone has succes please let me know. specs are: ASRock 939Dual-Sata2 AMD Opteron 165 @ 2.4 GHz 8800GT 512MB (works) currently booting kalyway sleepkernel leopard 1.5.2 from a USB drive (UPDATE: got SATA and onboard NIC working!) Onboard sound so far no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
