) and is dual-booting flawlessly with my other OS Windows XP Professional (using Darwin/x86 Bootloader). However, i've had this particular problem ever since i have been using Kalyway (this is my first OSX86 experience so im a bit of a newbie in this scene although quite familiar with Unix-based systems, mainly Linux).I am using an AEI USB LAN Adapter which is based on the ADMtek ADM8511 LAN chip, so I installed the USBPegasusEthernet kext from the sustworks.com website which has been spread round this site. It installed fine without any problems or kernel panics, which is a good thing.
Starting with my problems..firstly, when I boot up my Kalyway system in verbose mode there are lines which say:
Can't determine dependencies for com.dsumorok.driver.USBPegasusEthernet.
Couldn't alloc class USBPegasusEthernet
This is easily cured though by reinserting the adapter while still booting in verbose mode, as it eventually gets detected. Once i'm in Leopard and check Network Preferences, it will appear to be fine for a little while (less than a minute
) as it displays that i'm connected with a green light and a 192.168.x.x address. However, for an unknown reason it just changes to Self-Assigned IP Address with a 169.254.x.x address and i have spent countless hours scouring the web for solutions - i've tried reinstalling the driver and the IONetworkingFamily kext, repairing permissions, using a manual IP address or BootP instead of DHCP and even as far as reinstalling the whole system, but to no avail. If someone could give me a solution or help me in any way, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I will write down my system information if it helps in anyway.ABIT AV8 Motherboard - VIA K8T800T-8237 Chipset
AMD Athlon 64+ Processor 3500
1GB DDR-RAM
320GB Maxtor 5200rpm HDD partitioned into 3 separate partitions - XP (NTFS), Leopard (HFS Journaled) & Data (NTFS).
512MB ATI Radeon X1650 PRO AGP
AEI USB to LAN Ethernet Adapter
Onboard sound - VIA AC'97 chipset
I also have 2 other ethernet cards connected but both do not work and aren't detected (one is a VIA Velocity Gigabit Onboard Ethernet which isn't supported by Mac and the other is a 3Com Etherlink XL PCI card (3C900-COMBO) which says something like "Apple3Com3c90x mapHardwareRegister failed" in verbose mode :S).
Kind regards,
Livio.
