Worked for me thanks

Big Thanks for your work, now posting using the Yukon Builtin Ethernet. The problem was the ID, mine is 0x43201148.

But when it was started, the other one (intel) stopped to work. But no big deal.

Works like a charm for my 3C904 on my P4C800 motherboard. Thanks!

Hi!

I have installed my new system and used the 0.2d.
It´s great. No probs untill know.
Will do some tests...

THANKS!

has somebody tested the driver on a gigabit LAN?
does it get to full speed?
my other PC is 100mbit so cannot test
thanks

Just ran a speedtest from nyc speakeasy speedtest place



Download Speed: 2664 kbps (333 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 705 kbps (88.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

This is with my 2 pcs online, running itunes here on iranian radio .

Now I turned off my other pc, and will stop itunes radio .




Download Speed: 2782 kbps (347.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 708 kbps (88.5 KB/sec transfer rate)

Ok it could be faster both in down and up.

Hopefully the router cant be killing some speed

ehm, that's an internet speed test
show's how fast is your internet connection, not the ethernet card

I need a LAN / intranet test to see if there's a bottleneck in the driver
on a 100Mbit/s I reach max transfer speed

tnx

I have a P4P800 Deluxe with the Gigabit Lan and I use the latest driver you have. Unfortunately my router is 100 Mbit but I do have a notebook with a Gigabit network interface (Intel Core Duo but only XP Home, my girlfiends property, if not it'be runing OSX by now ). So, if you explain me if I can do a direct connection between a MacOS and XP and what test should I do to get the results you want I could do it.

schreplfer: thanks. To directly connect two PC via ethernet, you'd need a cross-over cable, which I guess you do not have
with this cable you just setup the LAN as you would with a router, just using manual IP settings
at that point, folder sharing, file transfer, network monitor

I have a crossover, I'll see to set the ip's staticly. Hope it works, are you referring to the XP network monitor? Should I report estimate numbers or is there some tool I can use that can give accurate stats? Also, is a comparison with a laptop really up to par as it probably has a slower HDD?

Thank you...works GREAT for me!

I use netperf to stress test the network (www.netperf.org) and get statistics
but even net monitor under XP or Net Monitor for OSX (homepage.mac.com/rominar/net.html) can work as a first test to show bandwidth saturation
but yeah, as you've correctly pointed out a laptop HD on a gigabit LAN test is going to be a bottleneck ... already it is sometime on 100mbits

I have transferred a 2.6 GB file over windows sharing (samba?). Windows reported incoming bytes/sec at around 14.6 MB/s, OSX was reporting 28 MB/s under Activities Monitor. If you pm me with your email I'll send you a windows screenshot of the network traffic. (a sharp drop in speed on the graph coincided with a click from one of the hdd's so I guess the OS was putting it to sleep so don't worry about that).

0.2d been spot on for me.

if someone has this kind of LAN thing for their P5P800, please contact me. Thanks

why doesn't it work for me? I have the exact same integrated Network Gigabit LAN?

Did you modify the plist so that you include the deviceid of your network device?

Ok, a really dumb question. Where, and how do I modify the appleyukon.kext? I can't find it!

I don't think there is one, this is the port of the skge driver from linux so look for something like skge.kext . Yukon is for the yukon2 chipsets (this is for the yukon1's but no one is calling the yukons).
Check wheter this driver applies for your network interface.
These are the comments you can get from the linux kernel on chipset support:

SKGE config comments:

It does not support the link failover and network management
features that "portable" vendor supplied sk98lin driver does.

+ This driver supports adapters based on the original Yukon chipset:
+ Marvell 88E8001, Belkin F5D5005, CNet GigaCard, DLink DGE-530T,
+ Linksys EG1032/EG1064, 3Com 3C940/3C940B, SysKonnect SK-9871/9872.
+
+ It does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset: a separate driver,
+ sky2, is provided for Yukon2-based adapters.

Apple's AppleYukon (not this driver): /system/library/extensions/ionetworkingfamily.kext/contents/plugins/appleyukon.kext

Cheers Musashi, this works brilliantly first time on 10.4.5

good work champ

works perfectly on an a8n-sli premium, amd 4400+

Hey all,

I just found this thread and driver yesterday, and it worked without a hitch on my 3C940, in 10.4.3. To the devs. thanks a million, i was using an old 10MBps card, and it sucked. Back to Gigabit.....

Musashi, thanks for your hard work! The Asus K8V with Marvell Yukon now works under OSX 10.4.6!!!

I have P4P800 Deluxe which must have identical onboard lan (3c940).
I checked Ubuntu live results. It showed that it's Yukon skge device but not showing somethinglike 88e8001.
I edited info.plist under Appleyukon.kext.
I copied skge.kext into Extensions directory.
But even dmesg doesn't show any trace of network.
What did I do wrong?
Ethernet is wholly out in dmesg.
Please advice me what I should do.
I used Jas 10.4.6 install dvd with PPF1.

I tried to find what ven & dev I have on my onboard 3c940 lan. It's odd. It's VEN 10B7 (3COM), DEV 1700.
How come I have totally different DEV and VEN though I have same board with other's ASUS P4P800 DX?

you should edit the info.plist in the skge.kext, not Appleyukon.kext

Thanks for your input.
I'll try again.
BTW, is it possible that I have a different lan though it's 3c940?

I attach my dmesg. I have no idea what I should look at for any possible problem.
At least I do not see any ethernet device detected or loaded.

Regards,

Kisoo

it's very easy
FIRST, replace 0x432011AB with 0x170010b7 in the info.plist
THEN, follow install instructions

Thanks for quick reply.
I'll try again.

Thanks
Now it works!!!

I changed 0x432011AB into 0x170010B7 (which I found in PC windows registration info).
Then kextcache -k skge.kext.

This is what I got now.

skgeosx::probe(ethernet)
skgeosx::start(ethernet) <1>
skgeosx: SKGE for OSx86 v0.2d ---- M.Musashi ©2006
skgeosx: VendorID:10b7 DeviceID:1700 Rev:12
skgeosx: board is Yukon
skgeosx: Ethernet address 00:0e:a6:47:fa:76
skgeosx: Enabled!
skgeosx: setMulticastMode on
skgeosx: setMulticastMode off
skgeosx: link speed now 100 Mbps, full duplex.
skgeosx: setMulticastMode on


So now I proved that this skge.kext works with P4P800 3C940 onboard lan though vendor and device ids are different from 0x432011AB.

Thanks Musashi!

I got a Albarton K8X800 PRO II board....
and I check the vend/dev id is exactly 0x170010B7
it WORKS


thanx a lot !!

Hi musashi, good work for Marvell Yukon 88E8001, it's great !! but i'm have a Marvell Yukon 88E8036 (sony vaio laptop), have you any idea for working in OS X 10.4.6?

thanks..

have you tried editing the info.plist of appleyukon.kext?

no, when i editing a info.plist, what insert it? i newbie of osx

Edit: now perfect working, i change the plist with id 43511AB.

thanks..

I have a Asus onboard Marvell 88E8001, and this driver seems to work in that the "Onboard Ethernet" checks out with a green light, however the Network configuration window under System Properties crashes. It worked before I installed the musashi's driver and now it won't even open. Anyone have this problem?

Hello, I was wondering if this would work in 10.4.1? Because I have tried with no avail. It dosn't show any error messages, but when I reboot It's like nothing changed. It is still exactly the same.

I am using an ASUS A8V. With the Yukon 8001.

Any suggestions?

Nope. You must have at least 10.4.3 to use this driver. I think 10.4.5 is recommended.

Okay thanks, Look like some more downloading for me

skge.kext 2d works on ASUS A6VA notebook! Great work!

\Guys, I followed your direction down to the letter without any luck. I'm running a shuttle sn95g5 which has a yukon 8e8001 dev id 4320.
I did this:
open terminal
sudo -s (password)
cp -R (drag and drop the file and remove the / at the end) /System/Library/Extensions/
reboot

and it didn't work and told me that the extension skge wasn't installed properly on boot up. I also got like 40 lines of errors when the system was booting up.

Finally as I was installing my realtek ac97 I found instructions for that which went as follows:
1) copy AppleAC97Audio.kext to /System/Library/Extensions
2) cd /System/Library/Extensions
3) sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleAC97Audio.kext
4) sudo chmod 755 AppleAC97Audio.kext
5) Restart

I took out the parts that said appleac97audio.kext and replaced with skge.kext and finally I have internet access. I did no run the part that says sudo chmod 755 appleac97audio.kext because I have no idea what that does. Should I run that line as well or no? I'm an extreme noob to apple software right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Looks like I spoke too soon. Upon restart my internet wasn't working and I had to do the same commands to get internet access.

Now I'm also getting a bunch of errors like this
APC4: family specific matching fails

when the computer boots.
Any ideas?

Edit: I tried reinstalling the kext and it works on reboot but I'm gettin like a hundred of these errors below:
PCH: family specific matching fails
APCI: family specific matching fails
APCJ: family specific matching fails
APCK: family specific matching fails
APCS: family specific matching fails
APCL: family specific matching fails
APCM: family specific matching fails
AP3C: family specific matching fails
J APCZ: family specific matching fails
APSI: family specific matching fails
APSJ: family specific matching fails
SYSR: family specific matching fails
PIC: family specific matching fails
DMA1: family specific matching fails

Is this because of the yukon driver???

Works great with my P4P800-E Deluxe. Great work.

That's great news! I ahve the same board.

What OSX are you both running? 10.4.4, 4.5, or 4.6?

I'm downloading JaS OSX 10.4.6 DVD now, I can't wait til it's finished and I can install the Yukon Driver.

M.Musashi, you are a God among us all! Thank you for ALL of your hard work!

Have either of you had any other issues with the P4P800-E Deluxe board?

D-Link DGE-530T runs amazing... but you have to go to /System/Library/Extensions/skge.kext/Contents/Info.plist and change the ID thing from whatever it was to 0x4C001186 (device id 4c00, vendor ID 1186). After that, reboot and run Network in System Preferences and it says a new port detected, PCI Ethernet Slot PCI1

I get the same errors during boot...BUT my ethernet works great! =)
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe

Thanks Musashi

I seem to be cursed for all technology. anyways, I have the Asus P4P800 board, like alot of people. This also means that I have the Yukon 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet. Now I am a newbie, but I thought I knew what I was doing. I'm not much a a unix guy either. So I copied the installation instructions and seemed to get no where.

I tried using Terminal to copy the file (skge.Kext) over to the extensions folder. Now here's a question for ya out there. Can I not just drag and drop the file over to the Extensions folder?

Now I didn't have to change the Vendor and Device ID, as my ID is 0x432011AB, which is the same as what's already there. So it should be simple, right?

When I use the other number (0x170010B7) I get no errors and no ethernet. Now when I use the default number, I get an error telling me the kext file can't be used and I should reinstall it. So obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Please help. Thanks.

I also have a ATI AiW 9700 Pro. Is there something special I have to do to get it to show me some display options. I know the Readeon 9700 is one of the extensions, but was wondering if there is something I have to add or change.

Thanks again

I have P4P800SE and I've downloaded the driver from windows and putted the directory (skge.kext) into /System/Library/Extensions/ and rebootted the pc.

I can see no differences.
I tried to change 0x432011AB into 0x170010B7 but i can see anything odd.
No message in dmesg, nothing .. as I haven't done anything.

What should I do?

Do not need to modify DeviceID.
You must use 0x432011AB, bacause this is your DeviceID.

1)Copy skge.kext in to the /System/Library/Extensions/
2)Open Terminal.app(Application/Utilities)
3)Type this 4 commands (ENTER after every line):

(After first command it will ask for your password)

-restart-

Good luck!

thanks Flamaszter

Thanks for your well worked driver m.musashi
Maybe you could update your first post for people who are not familiar with terminal commands and doesnt know how to give perrmissions on kexts.
