THANKS FINALLY WORKING FOR ME!!!!
I downloaded the one in the first post and used Kext Helper (download from google) to install this kext using the easy installation!
Then rebooted and quickly switched off my PC from the PSU button. Unplugged the power cable from the PSU AND Cable modem and waited about 30-60seconds. Plugged it back in, turned pc on and booted with "-f" into Mac OSX 10.5.2 KALYWAY and am posting this message from my new working internet!!!!!

I'M SO HAPPY!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS AWSOME KEXT!!!!!!

I downloaded a torrent which was about 1GB, with no problems and FULL speed (the usual speed i get at Windows XP)

BUT
After i restart my PC, the internet just wont work again
I figured out that deleting the kext and reinstalling solves the problem, but only if i do NOT reboot again.
Is there any fix to that?
(and yes, the kext is in the right extension folder, but i dont know why it just doesnt load properly after a reboot )

Did you tried using -f (add it to the com.apple.Boot.plist file), so it rebuilds the kext cache each time you boot on mac?
Maybe it could help.

Mmmm, not really no. Where is this file? In the kext? Or somewhere on the system?
Sorry, and thanks for the help!


EDIT
OK Found the file, but what do i change or include?
Thanks again for your help!


EDIT2
OK. I used my logic and added "-f" where it already said "-v -legacy".
Looks like it works (as of yet )
Thanks, will report later on if it works for definate!

This driver works for me under the Kalyway 10.5.2 Leopard install, but only with cpus=1 enabled.  Would really like a working dual core driver, but for now it suffices.

[KeyKeeper]

Running Kalyway 10.5.2 on Asus P5NE -SLI and cannot get nic working with any of the methods mentioned here.  When I shut machine down and unplug the power cord/flip switch and deadhead power switch,  all power is gone from the system (empty capacitors...).  Plug it back in and turn it on then the lights on the lan port blink like normal till it boots to desktop, light go out and "lan cable unplugged...." in sys preferences.  Im new to OS X (I do own a macbook though) so can someone piece all these directions together for a "clean cut" installation procedure?  Also could anyone using this mobo with kalyway post their bios settings and OS X install method e.g. kernel choice....ect?

So far:
Both cores enabled
Installed on sata drive, can read/write
Audio works
Everything else is up in the air till lan starts working.

Hi to everyone! Have a problem with Marvell 88E1116 ethernet, motherboard ASUS M2NPV-VM, Zephyroth 10.5.2 Leopard is installed, but MacOS doesn't even see my device, these are only 2 Built-in-COM ports and FireWire port in network system preferencies and nothing else.
So here is my question, what should I do to make MacOS see my network device?

U need forcedeth.kext + nforceethernetcontroller.kext .

There are a few forcedeth.kexts  out there.

One of forcedeth.kext  is workable for u.

After u access internet ,u may facing pc freeze and hang up problem.

Thanks, problem solved! I installed SKGE.kext (added my device ID in info.plist) and my system saw my ethernet controller. But after reboot i've got kernel panic. I've also solved this problem by booting in -x mode and deleting forcedeth.kext and skge.kext. After that I installed nForceEthernet.kext and got my network up after reboot in normal mode, but also had a problem, my system hang deadly when I opened a shared network folder, then I just changed the speed of my controller to 100 Mb/s instead of 1Gb/s. Now everything work perfectly!
