I've tried almost everything to try to get the Marvell Yukon driver to work - I've tried at least five or six different things, even though I think that some of them that I hit were Tiger-[only]. Either way, I've tried a lot in replacing the kext, editing it, and fixing permissions with it and none of them worked.

Also, I've tried to find a driver for the Intel 3945, but I just realized that they don't have anything for this yet. Any workarounds available though?

Thanks to anyone that can help with either of these.

I know for sure the Intel 3945 won't work at all. Progress for it is in the Intel Wireless thread.

Same network and wifi cards. I have tried everything they suggested so far with several different distros, but no luck. I can get it to sort of recognize my ethernet (it appears in Network in System Preferences), but ifconfig doesn't even see it. You could try Kalyway 10.5.2 and do the standard plist edit and see if you can get functionality out of it.

UPDATE: Hey, I got it to work. You want to use AppleYukon not AppleYukon2. Edit the plist in /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleYukon.kext/Contents/info.plist to

Fix the preferences in the Disk Utility.

Then go to terminal and:

sudo -s
cd /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins
chown -R root:wheel AppleYukon.kext
chmod -R 755 AppleYukon.kext
kextload AppleYukon.kext

A popup should appear telling you that a new Network interface was detected. It should work. You may want to repair the preferences in Disk Utility again. Some people also suggest deleting the Extensions.mkext file, you can do that too, it wont hurt.

Hope you can get it to work, best of luck.

For some reason, I don't have AppleYukon in my package. It's not on the Kalyway DVD either.

Still not working? Here is my .kext. Put it in IONetworkingFamily.kext insidethe Plugins folder. Chown, chmod it and load it. See if it works.

THANKS MEMORIAL!

This Guide is perfect thanks alot, network lan card now working! Thanks for the guide and you efforts!

Ryan

helped me a lot...thanks!

Ok aparently I am doing something wrong. I type in all the Sudo commands. And when I get to changing ownership...I get this:


Password:
matt-palmers-mac-pro:desktop mattpalmer$ chown -R root:wheel AppleYukon.kext
chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents/Info.plist: Operation not permitted
chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleYukon: Operation not permitted
chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents/MacOS: Operation not permitted
chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents/version.plist: Operation not permitted
chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents: Operation not permitted
chown: AppleYukon.kext: Operation not permitted

What am I doing wrong? Any thoughts?

After sudo -s you should type in your password and the enter the bash shell. You instead of "matt-palmers-mac-pro:desktop mattpalmer$" you should see "bash-3.2#." If that does not work, then you are typing in something wrong.

thank you so much for giving making me surf the web on my hackintosh. It work out very well and very easy to understand even for a macosx noob like me. Thank you

Edit: After a reboot it didnt work anymore But then I did the "kextload" thing again and made it work again. What did I do wrong? I do not want to load that kext on every boot manually.

Edit2: After one more reboot it works just fine again.

Thank you very much .... I have been trying to get my presario v3618 tu lan working for sometime now and this made it

first post....i'm having problems with my marv. yukon 8309... I think I've tried everything. Finally i got the message that my ethernet device had been recognized so i went to network preferences, but the the location area was empty and in network diagnostics ethernet its shown as failed.

I've rebooted and repaired permissions countless times.. Am i missing something???

Thanks

edit: I also took Memorial's advice of deleting extensions.mkext file and that didnt help...

Make sure to hit apply in the Network Preferences. If the apply option is gray, change some stuff then click apply.

at last i just got my LAN working but wlan still unknown....

Perfect my Toshiba A205 S4577 thanks...
