MrDJ Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I do the above, and it detects the ethernet card (Rtl8211) but when I plug it in, it is unable to communicate with my router. Just assigns itself a ip adress that is not from my router, and nothing works...any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sauce Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've been having the same issue, would someone please look into this and see if there has been any fixes or if anyone has been able to crack this code?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittt Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...;hl=realtek+lan - this one helps me. First file. Ive downloaded, installed forcedeth-kext which is in build/reliase folder, with KextHelper. Installed, added 0x045010DE line in info.plist, ran sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/forcedeth.kext and then the miracle happend! Network card detected! But IP problem elsewhere. I've tried to set up router with manual IP's, but the same prob. LAN card using wrong IP adress. For ex.: my DHCP settings are: from 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.253; But smart mac is having 164.254.29.157 IP :-) So, its everything, that i can say. Are there anyone, who had success?

InfinitiProject Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I have the same problem with getting online with my RTL8211 and Google brought me here. Has ANYONE gotten it to work longer than 5 minutes? It worked on a fresh install but then stopped and hasn't worked since. Not even assigning an IP fixes it Notes taken with Everest: Network - Nvidia MCP73 | Realtek RTL8211/8212:PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_07DC&SUBSYS_0D1D105B&REV_A2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
