I have MacOs 10.4.1 Native, and my D-link network card doesn't work... inthe cd that came with it, there is a machintosh folder with a kext in it, but not even installing that kext my network works....

Could any body tell me how to make it work please....

i've tried to download from d-links web page a new driver but they dont even have my network card there....

HELP PLEASE,i have broadband internet so i'm without internet on my Mac x 86.....

d-link kexts are for ppc and i think only supports 10.3... i have d-link dfe 530tx with rtl8139 chipset and works well with 10.4.3 up... if you wanna make it work grab yourself a ionetworkingfamily.*ext from 10.4.3 though i'm not sure if it will work with 10.4.1...

do you think it will work with 10.4.4 or 10.4.5???

ok, im downloading 10.4.4 with the patched update to 10.4.5, i hope it will make my network card work...

i'll tell you when i install it....

btw, can you find out what chipset dfe 520tx uses? in windows install the hardware w/out installing the driver from the cd, let win xp recognize it, if it is rtl8139 then you're good.

OK, I installed 10.4.4 updated to 10.4.5, and guess what, my d-link network adapter isnt working yet...

plis HELP!!!!

maybe you could give me some PCI network card that work on 10.4.5...
