InterwebRockstar Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 thanks but I dont have a notebook its a pc motherboard I hate bringing up old threads just as much as most other people but I have this same NIC and have been unable to get it working. I have read on some forums that Marvell isn't supported, others say they got it working and others are like this post and never see a reply. I'm pretty new to getting a Hackintosh going. I have some Linux administration experience and now I'm perplexed on this issue. It is pretty cool to see this running on a PC but it isn't useful when it can't get online. I am hoping to get this issue solved with the awesome assistance of some much smarter people then myself on here. All replies are appreciated and I hope we can get this working Decided it might be helpful if I told you a bit more information. I'm running Leo4All after having attempted several other distros and not having any luck even getting them to install. Here is a bit more about the system I am using. ASUS A8M2N-LA Socket: AM2 2000 MegaTransfers/second ALC888 CODEC 10/100 Marvell 88EC031 Athlon 64 X2 (W) 3800+ (2.0GHz / 2000MT/s) AM2; 1 MB L2 cache 4 GB (4 x 1 GB) DDR2 PC2-4200 (4 DIMMS) 320 GB 7200 rpm SATA 16X DVD(+/-)R/RW 12X RAM (+/-)R DL LightScribe SATA GeForce 8500 GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterwebRockstar Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 More information to throw in here for anyone that might be able to assist me. It will be greatly appreciated by the way. Another websites forums suggested I visit this thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89475 Which I did. I downloaded the kext file and then installed it using Kext Helper. Here is where it gets interesting. I used shutdown at the terminal to turn off the machine and then unplugged the power out of the power supply and my ethernet cable out of the LAN port for nearly five minutes just to be sure. I plugged it back in and started the machine. Used the flags cpus=1 -v at startup per the directions (plus I wanted to see what was happening). Leo starts and I login. Immediately I move to the Network area of my preferences where it tells me a cable is not plugged in. The cable is plugged in so I'm not sure what is going on with that. I go back to Terminal and do ifconfig I don't see an eth0 device listed so this makes me sad I head here to make this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterwebRockstar Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Well I've tried reinstalling about ten times and tried about twenty five different things and it doesn't appear this is going to work. Not sure why I bothered. Considering this project a total failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
