Hi,

I got my new Intel G45 mainboard DG45ID.
The board has a "82567LF-2" NIC, but the Intel driver section says "Intel Pro Connection Driver".
So I inserted the DeviceID "0x3a4c8086" (how do I know if this is the correct ID?) into IOPCIMatch key value at Info.plist from AppleIntel8255x.kext, but nothing happend after the reboot. I did remove the cache.

I did a `lspci -v` on Linux which provided the following information on the NIC:

Any suggestions on how I can make this thing work?

Thanks in advance!

Any suggestions on how to be sure about the DeviceID?

Thanks

You are using the Intel 8256x series chip. There is no driver in this time and the AppleIntel8255x.kext doesn't work on this chip too.

After updating BIOS from 0077 to 0079 my DG45ID become unstable.
Unfortunately can't downgrade BIOS... as read me txt states.
So be aware before updating BIOS.
Im Querying Intel now to see if and how to Downgrade BIOS
Until then have to deal with frequent freezes. every time multitask work increase , system freeze and have to hard reboot

Edit: If you are running vanilla with chameleon v1.0.11 version DFE 123 for HD, just drop kext Intell82566MM inside /Extra/Extensions folder. No need to install into /S/L/E.

Wow, I forgot about OSX on my DG45ID since I had no LAN, VGA nor SOUND.

This is great, thanks a lot leo74!

Any news on the Sound?

@ All.
I'm still missing Sound.
For video added a 22.00 Euros Low Profile Gigabyte GeForce 8400GS 256MB PCIe (2.0) in the 16x PCIe slot 2.0 ready.
model: NX84S256HE
