KellyKelly Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 so does it work on tiger? I been waiting this driver for a year. I'm currectly using a RTL8139 network card, it works but increase my video card temperature. And I don't want to kill my machine if i install this driver. I hav lot of stuff on my hackintosh. :(It did not work for me. I followed your instruction and didn't work. nothing show up except my RTL8139 netcard, serial port and firewire. . So can't connect to internet.....:(I'm running Uphuck 10.4.9 with kernel 8.8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyKelly Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I tested it and it didn't work. Nothing show up on my network except for my Reltek RTL8139 net card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGLee Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 At first it didn't work, but after i added my DeviceID it's working flawlessly Thanks for the driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackHair Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I just installed this driver on my M2N-SLI Deluxe Mobo, Nforce 570-SLI chipset on tiger 10.4.10. And it works! Just followed the steps of TS after testing it with kextload. When i tested it it just gave me a 169.x IP. But after installing, shutting down for 30 sec and booting its working via DHCP. I do get a message saying that ID 0373 is not know to work, but its working fine sofar! Thx alot for this kext Edit: I found 1 issue sofar. When i boot to windows before going into OSX86 the NIC will get a 169.X ip. When i shutdown the PC and go OSX86 after powerup it finds an IP and fully works.

Gipo Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Working for me too... with the little trick, when it don't work shutdown and unplug for about 30 sec. strange but true. Nothing possible to correct this issue? great work anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ender Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Any news on this driver? I know that Planetbeing is working in the other nForce networking thread to eliminate the Dual-Core panic issue but this thread seems pretty dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleA Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Wanted to say great work on this. I am using the kext from the first post and I am able to use my ethernet now on my Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 board. I have trouble with things across reboot - unless I do the 'pull-the-plug' trick and -f as a boot option. Annoyoing, but once it's running, it stays running. Would love to see any updates you're working on. Again, thanks for the great work. AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonfox13x Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 i just need this driver to work with all cores and i can format my windows partition..... can someone else pick up this project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoper Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thanks so much for all your efforts, so happy to finally have my install running! successfully installed and works for me on Kalyway install 10.5.1 Leopard Just some notes.... 1. I noticed (as mentioned in previous posts) that under any significant load that the machine locks up. For example. quickly changing pages in safari, when i downloaded a 20mb file, ran a speed test and locks up 2. I tried this under forced settings 10/100/1000 as well as autodetect , forced half and full duplex and am experiencing lockups Hope that helps, Can't wait to try out the next improvement !

Envying Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I sure hope so, because at this point, Obi-MikeInNS your my only hope Come on, you can get a PCI NIC for $10, which will work flawless on OS X... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoper Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Flawlessly huh ? That may have worked for some but i've tried 3 already i had layin around. none work , cannot get any PCI device to be recognized on the osx side. all work on the pc side. linksys, 3com and netgear...

andyph666 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Just bought the Encore 1320 10/100/1000 network adapter on newegg for 12 dollars. It has the realtek 8169s chipset on it and works perfectly out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonfox13x Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 im having the same problem im having with this driver with my NIC but instead of panicking the internet just stops working. When i go to diagnostics the last to stoplights never turn green. when i boot in verbose it says rtl8139::fixEnetFlowControl - Flow Control is disabled my card is a Hawking PN102TXA with RTL8139D, it works great for 5 mins then it just stops working. if i boot with cpus=1 i dont have the problem anymore!

lewellyn Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Come on, you can get a PCI NIC for $10, which will work flawless on OS X... That doesn't help those of us who have a limited number of PCI slots… I have my "Airport" card in one, and my Firewire/USB combo card in the other. And why would I want two perfectly good wired NICs in the same box, anyhow? (Especially when I only have 2 PCI slots! Such a waste of potential!) You'd think I'd be more likely to want to stick one in my old K6-2 box to use as "emergency backup"! my card is a Hawking PN102TXA with RTL8139D, it works great for 5 mins then it just stops working. if i boot with cpus=1 i dont have the problem anymore!

KellyKelly Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Finally got it work! I add my device id 0x026910de and now it works!!! BTW I have a P5N-E SLI Mobo. =] Thanks MikeInNs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I have a P5N-E SLI Mobo. =] Thanks MikeInNs!!! it works for sure, but wait a bit and load some stuff from the internet... once it is choked, your system will freeze... right now, the problem is not wheter it s working or not, bcoz it is working, but not stable... it causes system freeze... just beware that if u use things online too long make sure u back up or bookmark things, bcoz this driver is not finished yet. it has serious problems...

DoctorDyna Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Just to clairify, before I read all these posts, this driver is for the "Marvell" chips and not the "nVidia nForce Networking controller"... Or am I missing something? I've got an EVGA 122 CK NF 63 (680i) Would I be better off digging in my old boxes for a realtek 81xx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewellyn Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Would I be better off digging in my old boxes for a realtek 81xx? At this moment... "Yes"... None of the nForce networking drivers is yet stable for most people. So, grab yourself an 8139 (or maybe an 8169) and use that. Alternatively, you may have luck using a BCM43xx with the AirPort driver that ships with the OS. (If wireless is your thing, of course!) Keep an eye on these nForce NIC topics, though... There's always a chance that there's something brewing behind the scenes and that we won't know about it till it's time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My onboard LAN is a realtek, and not supported by forcedeth AFAIK. I love my good old tulip-compatible card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajkosto Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 i noticed that with cpus=1 i get NO HANGS from this driver ever i've left torrent running all day and no hang works fine, however if i leave out cpus=1 it hangs like in the first 10 seconds of a bigger http download... so it seems to be a thread deadlock issue or something did you release the source anywhere ?
