does it works for 88e8036 marvell yukon card?
did you get a driver for that? I have the same card on vaio sz330p.

Here's the driver I've put together to support the Marvell Yukon 88E8001.
I have one small request. I can't seem to boot without getting an exception when I have a device plugged into a USB port that is not powered on. It is not all devices that cause the exception, I have seen it with a hard drive and DVD drive.
I can get a screenshot of the exception if that will help.

Hello!
First off I would like to say great work! I am new with this OSX86 scene but not new to linux or other OS's in any way. This driver works great for my hardware but there is an issue with it dropping out under high load. The high load does include BitTorrent download on transmission as well as just regular browsing in Safari. When I open 5 or more tabs loading pages like Yahoo, Microsoft, or Apple.com the Rx stops but Tx still works. I tried IFCONFIG DOWN IFCONFIG UP, static adresses, uninstalling the kext and reinstalling but still nothing. There is a error about queue stalling. "4/18/08 12:05:16 PM kernel skgeosx ERR: ouputPacket() stall 125:61:64 " When this happens all I can do is reboot to get it to work again. I am running the following.
OSX86 iAtkos v1 r3 Nforce Edition 10.5.1
Asus P5N-SLI
Intel 6600 2.13 ghz
2 x 1GB OCZ 800mhz
EVGA 7950GT KO 512MB
1 500gb Maxtor SATA
1 PLEXTOR DVDR PATA
Onboard Yukon 88E8001
Onboard Sound (believe its ADI1986a)
Thanks again and great work!

guys, been away for a while.
I won't be able to develop this driver further. I've upgraded my hardware and I don't have an 88e8001 anymore to test it on.
I now have a shitty RTL8168B and the apple/realtek osx driver just plainly sux!! Wondering if it's worth porting the linux version.
kendo: that's strange. Extensive burn tests have been made and at worst the rx would stall (handling is done by Apple's IO stack) but then resume normally. There have been a couple of ppl mentioning the same issue on their system however. But I couldn't replicate nor track the problem.

Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks to all who gave good advice on this thread. I don't often reply, but this was so handy and simple that I had to share:
I have a Dell Latitude C620 that harbours a (3Com) 3c905 c.
I upgraded JaS 10.4.7 with a working NIC to JaS 10.4.8 with no NIC.
The solution for me:
- Copy /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext to a backup directory somewhere. I just created one in the root called Original Extentions.
- Extract the 10.4.3 versiion of IONetworkingFamily.kext (posted earlier in this thread) and place it in /System/Library/Extensions/
- Start a terminal and do some owner changes:
- For good measure, delete /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
- Also delete /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
- Reboot
That's all I had to do.
Sorry this post is not directly related to the driver or even the 3c940. It was a long trail to even get here, so I hope this helps someone out there who ends up here like I did

None of that is necessary anymore. It's old advice that was true once upon a time. With Leopard all you have to do is 'touch /System/Library/Extensions' and caches are rebuilt automatically.

Hi,

I got the D-Link DGE-530T running in a EVGA 780i with a Q6700, I modify the number and installed the driver as instructed. I got this message:

Just for clarification, I haven't seen this posted anywhere...
When you say to change xxxxxxxAB for the one corresponding to your card manufacturer, I get confused because that string shows twice, should it be changed only the first ocurrence? or in the 2 of them?, can somebody please post a running "Info.plist" as an example?

Hi all.
Everything works fine, but speed is not well. I have doalboot Vista, Leopard 10.5.2 (Kalyway, Vanila kernell Darvin 9.2.2) and I testing download from one of us server (win 2003 server, AppleTalk, Samba). Vista speed cca 60MB/sec, Leo speed is cca 10MB/sec
FTP download is cca 15MB/sec. Any idea how to maximize network speed in Leo?
What is the maximum speed you achieve - Samba,AppleTalk,FTP?

Tried it on my HP 530 running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.3 with a DGE-530T using version 0.2e(u) and it simply didn't do a thing. I also tried a version named skge-e and the official driver and they also didn't work (and I got KPs when I plugged USB drives using these 2). Can you do something about it?
can anyone pleasre RE-POST the way i can install the ethernet ?

Er.. I don't understand anything.
I have Marvell Yukon 88E8001 card (4320-11AB) - everything had to work. I try to install the driver on MacOS 10.4.1 (Tiger) - I copy everything, clear the cache, reboot... and still have no ethernet. Neither of the network device is on..
What's I can't understand, it's that I've edited .plist file for ATI driver and it works now, although the patch reported error while installing... and in this case everything has to have passed OK but still..
I use 02e_U version on Tiger (10.4.1/SSE2 CPU - P4 Northwood).
...well, can anyone make a scrrenshot of System Profiler? I can't see wired networks cards there... I would like to see any of network cards among the Hardware list, between Memory, CPU, Graphics etc...
PS. Anyway, I can try installing 8139 card, but it's a cheat

Hi Gurus,
I have an AMD3800+ 2GB machine with Marvell Yukon Network Controller. Being a really idiotic noob, I tried installing Kalyway's 10.5.2 on my PC. No problems with the install.
But when I tried your method to install Musashi's skge.kext.02d.zip, I run into some problems. When I tried executing your step 14, the system prompted no files found. Proceeded to 15 and rebooted the system and the system failed to boot even after a few hard resets.
Where did I go wrong? Or does this patch does not work with 10.5.2? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Here's the driver I've put together to support the Marvell Yukon 88E8001.
Rules:
- please try not to trash this thread posting stupid or irrelevant comments
- don't post asking how to install the driver or edit the .plist to add your vendorid/devid (search the forum)
- don't pm me unless you want to send me a debug log
- I'll update this first message when needed with new versions of the driver, comments, etc.
To install:
open terminal
sudo -s (password)
cp -R (drag and drop the file and remove the / at the end) /System/Library/Extensions/
reboot
If it crashes, please send me the debug log:
open terminal
sudo dmesg
cut&paste the messages starting with skgeosx:
Latest Version: 0.2e BETA - PLEASE TEST WITH TIGER and LEOPARD AND LET ME KNOW
Versions:
- 0.2e(u) // 23Nov07 // Universal Binary
- 0.2e // 17Nov07 // Intel ONLY, Leopard build, power management (sleep ok), minor bug fixes, release build
- 0.2d // 01May06 // fixed a huge bug in tx engine that caused random unreported crashes
- 0.2b // 24April06 // implemented multicast and promiscuous mode plus some bug fixes (275 downloads)

- yukon2 cards (88E8021,22,35,...) are not supported; they are covered by appleyukon.kext from OSX10.4.5 onwards - no they will never be supported by this driver as the original skge was written specifically for yukon1 cards; I will not write a yukon2 driver because I don't have a yukon2 card to test on

Source Code (only for developers)
23Aug06: After almost 4 months, 4000 downloads and no real bug report I believe the driver can be considered quite stable. There are still things to implement (e.g. see TODO in the source code for some of them) but I don't have the time nor the urgency to do it. Therefore here's the source code. Please feel free to debug / add whatever you may see fit. I believe however that it would be good for all users to keep all future versions in this page. If you email them to me I'll attach them here (with your name in evidence don't worry) for everyone to download, assuming you have explained the mods and the driver still works
. I will not support nor endorse any driver based on my source that is not present in this page. Have fun
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules:
- please try not to trash this thread posting stupid or irrelevant comments
- don't post asking how to install the driver or edit the .plist to add your vendorid/devid (search the forum)
- don't pm me unless you want to send me a debug log
- I'll update this first message when needed with new versions of the driver, comments, etc.
To install:
open terminal
sudo -s (password)
cp -R (drag and drop the file and remove the / at the end) /System/Library/Extensions/
reboot
If it crashes, please send me the debug log:
open terminal
sudo dmesg

I've a Marvell 8001 NIC (on an Asus P5B-V) and I use the Leopard build of your skge.kext.
Every time I boot my PC I get a kernel panic from skge.kext (1 in 2 boots, the next time it boots is does work). Could you explain this why it doesn't work the first time and does work the second time ?

I Get the same error! I PMed the author about the kernel panics during bootup (which happens to me 2 out of every 5 times). No response yet. Hopefully he reads this
Hey m.musashi,
Thx for your driver. My system was all the time freezing when using the Nvidia NForce 4 lan card. SO i disabled the Nforce and enabled the Marvell and with using your driver my system doesn't freeze anymore.

It works great on Jas OS 10.4.7 but it doesn't work with Jas 10.5.2. Is there any new patch to make it working?
Hey
I want to share my experience with the installation of Kalyway's 10.5.2 on my clone pc. All you need to do is download the DVD image from one of the torrents and install on the pc I also run skge.kext from fenardozza to make the Marvell Yukon NIC working. Thanks guys!
Now I want to install the Leopard I bought from Apple on my pc. Does anyone has any success on this?
Thanks

Hello,
I am pretty stumped, and I hope someone can help.
I have a Sawtooth G4/450 running MacOS 10.4.11 (fresh install), and a D-Link DGE-530T Rev-B2. I have read every post in this thread, and have tried every .plist permutation I can think of with build 0.2d and 0.2e(u).
Every time I tried something new I followed Mr. Musashi's advice (Nov. 25, '06) to first trash the existing skge.kext file and delete the Extensions.ketxtcache and Extension.mkext, then reboot. I tried each of the several sets of instructions on this thread (I set up Applescripts to avoid retyping all those Terminal commands).
No one on the whole thread has mentioned having a Rev-B2 card, so I suspect that may be an issue. However, the 0.2e(u) driver seems to work partially, and with it my System Profiler recognizes the card and reports a device ID of 0x4b01, which is the same as a Rev-B1 card.
By "works partially" I mean that System Profiler sees the card, Network Preferences see the card (when I set up manual network settings I get a green dot in the Network Statud and it thinks things are fine, but when set to Automatic I get a self-assigned IP address and an orange dot). Either way, I can not see other machines on the network and can not connect to the internet.
When I try dmesg, I am seeing the same results as Skydiver Tak and 5onIt -- skgeosx: Enabled! but last line ERR: ouputPacket() stall.
Mr. Musashi mentioned using ifconfig to check things out... My Built-In Ethernet is en0, and the D-Link is en1. When I tried to change the NetworkInterfaces.plist file to switch en0 and en1, I got a strange occurrence -- I was able to load ONE web page! I saw life! And then the machine acted like the cable was pulled. I got a red dot in the Network Status. After that, the machine seemed to confuse the Built-In port with the D-Link card, and I got no further web connectivity until I rebooted and changed the prefs again, at which time I again got only one web page.
So... I know that I am close, and I know that this card CAN work, but I am stumped as to how I can get it all the way working. I have been scouring the net and the forums here to find the answer, but am afraid I am coming up short.
I really appreciate whatever help you can give.
thanks,
Graham Jones.

What about driver for Marvell Yukon 88E8039 ?
Do the drivers of this post work on this card ?
