I'm having issues with this as well, the 8056 is built into my AMD mobo.

 

I've got everything but networking working!

 

I've tried modifying the kext, even replacing the yukon2.kext. after hosing a few different installs I'm at a loss.

 

Could you upload the file you are using perhaps? Thank you!

 

I've found a solution!

 

Running Leo4ALL 4.1 with 10.5.4

 

Download the patched appleyukon.kext above.

 

Delete appleyukon2.kext from your kext/ionetworkingfamily.kext/ directory

 

Put appleyukon.kext in, repair permissions and touch the kext dir!

 

Thanks for the help everyone! Works perfectly!

FINALLY!!! :angel:

 

For the Asus P5E using the xxx8056 card the following procedure worked really well for me:

 

Find the file called P5KVMdsdtfixed_enet_hdef.zip

In the Extra folder use kext helper to install the following files:

 

AppleYukon2.kext

IONetworkingFamily.kext

 

Install one at the time.

 

After the last it will reboot.

 

Go to network, and a new ethernet device should pop up (mine was marked with en2 in the end).

Enable this using DHCP.

 

Hopefully it will work with other boards using the same or similar hardware.

 

Network connection is stable so far. Gigabit also OK.

 

Thanks to all for great input and effort on this forum. U guys rock.

And where can we find this zip file?

I was tired of have to edit again AppleYukon2.kext info.plist at some updates, so I made a patcher for the Yukon 8056...

 

It just edit automatically the file, changing 8053 to 8056 and that hexadecimal address from 62 to 64.

If that works for you, this will work too.

 

 

Tested on P5K-Premium.

 

 

How to run:

sudo java -jar {path to jar file uploaded here}

 

It tries also to load AppleYukon2.kext, to easy things. But in some cases you may need to reboot.

I'm new to InsanelyMac forums and the OS x86 world and had a hard time figuring out what i was doing.

 

Using Asus P5K w/ Wifi and iPC 10.5.6

 

Thank you all for your posts, great help

 

I first modified the kexts with the 84 to 86, etc. but after update to 10.5.8 it no longer worked.

 

Adding the AppleYukon.kext worked like a charm.

 

Again thank you all for your posts.

OK, Mine's stopped working after updating to 10.5.8 and I don't have the older IOFamily.kext.

 

Anyone able to confirm using the single AppleYukon.kext and not Yukon2?

 

Edit: I got it working again, did the usual Info.plist edit (8053 to 8056 and 62 to 64) in IONetworkingFamily.kext/Plugins/Yukon2 but I also added Yukon.kext to my /Extra/Extensions folder.

 

Not sure if that's what made the difference as I had already tried getting it to work without that previously but wasn't too concerned as I have a working WiFi card. Just wanted to get this working since I've got some heavy transfers to do!
