Okay... tired of slow quartz with my nforce3 board, i finally broke down and purchased an Asus A8V.

Alright... now everything runs great... i get fast quartz, and hell, even DVD Player works now...

but the only thing that won't work is my Intel Pro 100 S net adapter. It's a pci card... and it worked just fine in the other board. It is supported.

However, now in the Asus... it won't function. I've tried just about everything from reinstalls to bios options.

I moved on to the Yukon onboard lan with this mobo... lo and behold... there's a kext for it. No dice. the kext causes a panic... everytime

In System Profiler, i can see in the Extensions part... that it shows both the Intel extensions but nothing.

I've also tried the tulip driver, but everytime i add a sinle pci id, panic...

I don't know what to do anymore, i've been fighting this thing for three days now. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...

And yes... i have searched, searched, and searched some more...

and for fun, i sticked about two other 'working' pci lan cards in the box... still nothing...

I think it's the pci bus that's f***ed on this chipset... but will a recompile of say the Intel8255x kext on this computer help at all??

Im using same MB and got the yukon nic to work here is the info i used: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=15700

I swear I did that a few times... but just by placing the kext in the extensions folder causes the nice multi-lingual panic screen

But if you say it works for you i guess i'll keep plugging with that driver instead...

Should i maybe uninstall the intel pci card first?? Is that making it panic??

Hi!

I have a A8V Deluxe and had an Intel NIC, too.
The Intel dont work for me because it was not a "normal" nic, it was a server one.

Maybe it would help when you post your yukon vendor and device id...

Thanks for the reply

The onboard Yukon is the default one used in the skge kext... the dev id 4320 and vend is 11ab.

The Intel one that won't work used to work just fine in the old mobo o.O... which i think is wierd but i read somewhere on here that it's likely the pci bus isn't recognized or something like that.

I'm currently obtaining 10.4.6 jas dvd... in hopes it might perform some miracle. (fingers crossed)

>_< i hate this damn board...

If one single person with an a8v can verify for me if thesystem profiler shows any pci devices connected would be great... as with mine it crashes system profiler... and every single time i try and load the skge.kext for the networking... multi-lingual panic screen, lovely >_<

Hi!

Try 10.4.5. It should after doing some patches works perfect...
I got a working realtek nic, too. The profiler crashes: There is something wrong...
What cpu do you have? SSE2 or SSE3?

Rgds.

Go into system preferences/network preferences... it should say it found a new device and allow you to configure it... that's what I had to do with my AMD system and 8139 nic.
