quixers Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I sent turbo an email to see if he would distribute the driver - no response as yet. Will post back here if I do! Even if its only 10Mbps it would do me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karuso Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 just look at his page: Further development and the Intel 82566 driver (2008-07-23 14:51) Notes: OK, here's the deal. I need to use my Thinkpad for work, which means there's almost no time to play around with getting drivers to work and such (which can have a tendency to crash the entire machine). The Intel 82566 is not done yet. It has one (or more?) bugs that panic the machine with any significant traffic. I was hoping to eventually collect enough donations to purchase a "development" T61, but fell substantially short (about $125 total, to date - thanks to everybody who has donated!!) Plan B is to buy an Intel DG33FB (+proc +memory) which has the same chip, but I'm not quite there yet. In the meantime, I'm trying to get a fix for the audio-stopped-loading issue that I thought had been solved. Also, the backlight fix works, but only with 10.5.2 - the framebuffer has been changed under 10.5.3+ so all we need to do is donate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixers Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Its a toss up though - whether to just put money into buy a new NIC which works or donate in the hope we get drivers for our existing cards ho hum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zubi Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks in advance Turbo, most lenovo ?61 series laptops use this nic as well. I know that that are many a lenovo owner that would love to have that nic working. Keep up the excellent work. Don't forget to donate to the cause at Turbo's site.

Cupid Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Youhave to update your OSX before loading the kext. I update to 10.5.4! Now my OSX detect the Ethernet. And finally it's working with the Intel 82566 DC-2...!!!!! Also work with other 82566 series too. (Add your device/vendor id) (Don't have to wait for Turbo's kext now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvil Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Tested in an Intel DP965LT motherboard with an Intel 82566DC onboard NIC, after adding the deviceid (0x104b8086) I'm happy to report a working ethernet connection. I had to remove the NetworkInterfaces.plist file and restart the machine with the NIC plugged, using OS X 10.5.5. Great work dingguijin !!!

Nick7 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Seems it doesn't work with 10.5.2, so guess it's time to upgrade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEO_AMiGA Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Unfortunately it does not work with 82575EB. =( Had hope it would. But seems like there won't be a fix for those nics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b:z Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I am running iPC Universal 10.5.6 final. My ethernet card Intel 82566 did not work It's still working from iPC 10.5.6 patch 2, but does not work in final version. Is there anyone lucky on this? Thank you.
