I have 10.4.4 installed and I need the stuff for my network card to work its realtek 8139 and from what i know i need some files from 10.4.3 or darwin? can somebody PM with the info, or give me the info on where to get them from without really posting a link. Also would it be possible to get that file from the darwin x86 cd? cause i see it, but i dont know what to do with it. sorry i'm kind of n00b to this thing. thx

I have a Broadcom 440x in my laptop running 10.4.4, and for some reason, Mac OS X isn't detecting anything in the network. Sound, video, etc work fine, but this network card (which is on the compatibility list as working out of the box) does not work! Is there something I should try to fix it?

Edit: A quick forum search sorted that problem out. I already have Firefox on Mac OS X86, haha!

yeah, I found out if I was in Windows and then just rebooted into OSX that my Broadcom 440x wouldn't work either. I did figure out that if I completely shut down the laptop instead of just restarted it, then booted into OSX, the ethernet worked fine. What solution did you find?

Netgear WG111v2 (USB) does NOT work
3Com 3CRUSB10075 (USB) does NOT work

Neither does the builtin wired NIC OR the wireless in my HP Compaq nc6220. Nothing works. Not even bluetooth.

Anything about the DLINK 530TX?

DLink DWL-G510 rev B (wireless) works great after I went into Library>Preferences>SystemConfiguration>NetworkInterfaces.plist, changed en0 to en1, and change the 0 under IOInterfaceUnit to 1. Rebooted and it recognized it as an airport card.

I too would be interested in the following:

AMD64 Gigabyte Onboard DUAL Ethernet as well as a toshiba A4!

What is the solution?

Am running build 10.4.3

Thanks!

Right now it's installed only on the Gigabyte board and threw in what I thought was a old networking card (3com) but don't think it works. The lights, nor the on-board, never go on.

With the laptop, I am still running Win XP!

Thanks!

CORRECTION, it was a D-Link, I now put in the OLD OLD 3COM and am up and running!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY'!

I am running 10.4.3, is this safe, why update? Also, what are some solutions for running the OSX (version please) on a Toshiba A4?

Thanks!

For all those guys.. here is my configuration and what i did.

P4 2.4 @ 3Ghz
Asus P4P800-X
Onboard RealTek 8100C (Don't work on 10.4.4 need to use IONetworkFamily from 10.4.3, Using IONetwetkFamily from 10.4.3 makes my System Preferences/Network Crash.)
Onboard SoundMax Audio (Works native on 10.4.4, sound output goes to MIC in)
Fx5200 (With the driver found here in Forums)
LG DVD 4163b (Reads both CD/DVD, not tested burns yet)
AOC LM722 17" LCD Screen (1280x1024@85Hz)

Microsoft MN-730 PCI (broadcom 4325 i think) detects as Airport Extreme after changing en0 to en1 and 4320 to 4325 in some other file.

Please help
how find - what kext use 10.4.3 for my NIC 3C905
(maybe it work in 10.4.4 ?)

For those of you who're having their network sys pref pane crash with the 10.4.3 kext, do this. It fixed mine, I'm using a generic Realtek 8139.. dunno if it'll work for other cards.

You'll need a copy of:
1. IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.3
2. IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.4/5.

Instructions:
1. Open up the kext from 10.4.3 (right click, show package contents.)
2. Open Contents/PlugIns/(Relevant Kext)/MacOS/(driver thing's name?)
--- For me, it was Contents/PlugIns/AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext/MacOS/AppleRTL8139Ethernet
3. Copy the file into the exact same location, in the 10.4.4/5 kext.
--- I did this by logging in as "root".. old trick from the 10.4.1 days. See footnote for instructions.
4. In Terminal, do the same old chown/chmod ritual.
--- chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext
--- chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext
5. Reboot with -v. (Or not.)

Footnotes:
-- Enabling "root" User --
1. Log in on any account with Admin privilegdes.
2. Start the NetInfo Manager, which is in the Application/Utilities folder.
3. From the top menu bar pull down the "Security" item and select "Enable root user". You will have to enter the administrator's password to authenticate yourself.
4. Logout. Click "Other", and log in.

My onboard VIA Rhine II Fast ethernet adapter doesn't work in OS X. I have to add a PCI intel pro 100 B to get internet

What version of os x are you running? It does not show up as a airport card on my 10.4.3 install

I don't know if this has been posted, but meh.

I stuck a Intel 10/100+ PCI card in mine and it works naitivly. My nForce lan, on the other hand, doesn't

10.4.5

I have one of these too and everytime I boot I have to reconnect through the network system pane. The same card works flawlessly with three other motherboards I tried with 10.4.5 though. The motherboard that didn't like the card is ASUS P5RD1-V. I've thought it could be a bios setting but I'm not sure.

Hi, I got osx running on my DFI Lanparty Ultra D with the macvidia crack on my geforce 6600. Still trying to get my wifi working. I have a netgear ma111 that I don't think can run, but the linksys mp54g is supposed to work with a kext mod, but nothing shows up under system profiler under pci devices, so I can't get the device ID. Is there a way to get this to work? Thanks!

Thanks to pin xue, Via Rhine II network cards now work! This forum topic contains information on the driver as well as a link to the driver's homepage.

cheap Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC works fine for me 10.4.1 w/o extra driver installation

U need Xcode tools, its 700mb and u can get it from apple website when u register.

ASUS A8V DELUXE Marvell Yukon working.

download driver attached: skge.kext.zip

install instructions:

open terminal
sudo -s (password)
cp -R (drag and drop the file and remove the / at the end) /System/Library/Extensions/
reboot

Thanks to MICROSOFT BOB who made the driver possibile.

Great job! It really works!!! :-)

Can anyone tell me any PCMCIA or USB wireless network adapters that would work on my laptop (HP dv1000) running 10.4.6 and my 802.11G network?



Edit: I'd also prefer not to have to pay like $70 for it. lol

I have a Belkin F5D7001 (USA) that works...

Modify the network preferences plist, the "en0" to "en1" and "0" to "1"... search the forum for the whole spiel. I also had to add the chipset, 4318 to the plist in the broadcom plugin inside io80211family.kext. detects as airport extreme. absolutely zero problems past editing.

sinteger

Replaced Intel 2200BG with Dell Truemobile 1450 with Broadcom chipset. New card works out of box, OS X identifies card as "AirPort Extreme". I can recommend this MiniPCI WLAN card to anyone who wants working wireless. It is also very cheap, got it for $20 from eBay.

how do i use this Xcode tool to do that "sudo make install"?

i have the same problem as maxos. make: command not found when trying to apply "sudo make install" for tulip files... please help me! thx!

Belkin F5D7010 ver. 1315AB (version 1 card). I think versions 1 and 2 use a Broadcom chipset before they changed it in versions 3, 4, and 5. I read posts that those versions use a Realtek RT2500 driver? Some have had success. I found the card on eBay for $10. Just remember to ask the seller the version so you know what you're getting. It was the easiest route to get wireless going since getting the Intel ProSet 2915g wireless seemed next to impossible.

Basically, I inserted the card, booted into OSX. Got the card info from profiler. In my case it is pci14e4, 4320.

I then drilled into IO80211Family.kext --> Plugins --> AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext --> --> Contents--> Info.plist file and added the following lines. You can edit with whatever editor you choose.

<string>pci14e4,4306</string>
<string>pci14e4,4320</string>

My file has the following lines:

<string>pci14e4,4306</string>
<string>pci14e4,4311</string>
<string>pci14e4,4318</string>
<string>pci14e4,4320</string>

I saved the file, fixed permissions in the disk utility, rebooted and voila, I had the airport icon in the system tray (albeit grayed out). It then became a matter of activating it and setting up with my Linksys router. I use WEP without any problems.

I did not delete any kexts nor edit the networkpreferences.plist file either. There was some discussion about en0 becoming en1. My networkpreferences.plist file reflected both so I left it alone.

I've got 2 simular PCI ethenet cards:

Realtek RTL 8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC not working
I need you help koollegues !

Can you tell me the exact commands i need to put in the Terminal..I have been messing with this for a bit...but dont know what to put, what do i put for cd command.




Can you tell me exactly what command to type in Terminal for CD command ...

Just wanted to let everyone who has a Linksys WUSB54G v4 that it now works with the RT2500 driver, please see below for the fix.

Yep, same problem as KnightTyper. Everything but sound and network are functional. I'm using an HP DC7600 SFF. But the Broadcom NetExtreme 5752 is a no go.

D-Link DFE-528TX works with Osx 10.4.4 , sweet !
(it's detected as a Realtek in Windows XP)

The Asus MB P4P800's integrated network card didn't work, so I tried the D-Link card I got for free with my Ethernet Internet modem.

OSX gets Internet from my 1st PC on XP that is sharing its Internet connection.
I also can browse my 1st PC's shared folders without any additional settings..!

*I got it all (more or less) until Instructions 4. I'm new to OSX so please help.
*Also i'm a little hazy with Instructions 2. My card is a Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection. What would i write in that case? Any ideas?

Thanks for any help

Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller doesnt work (As said before.) Is there any possable way to get this to work?......ever?

Gigabit Ethernet (on an ASUS v6j) does not work after install

Anyone able to answer my previous question?

just open a terminal window and copy that

SiS 900 On-Board *Not Working

^AKA Compaq NC3121

Hello,
I tried to install my Broadcom 5788 nic and I deleted my IONetworkingFamily.kext file.
Would somebody be so kind and send me the file because I don`t have the install DVD??
OS 10.4.5

hamster@masterlan.de
sbzabel@gmx.de

Thanks for the help.

So I just input the whole of chown "-R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext" (minus ") into the terminal and hit return and then enter the whole of "chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext" and hit return again?

Sorry never used the terminal.


My card is an Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection. What would I write in that case?

Thanks

I know when I was looking at this forum and site afew months ago while researching to install OSX 10.4.* on my P4 that the on-board LAN on the Asus P4P800-E Deluxe (Marvell Ethernet) was not supported nativly by OSX 10.4.*.

Has this status changed any? Are there any hacks/cracks to get it to function?

I'm trying to attempt something that, as far as I know, hasn't been done before. I'm setting up (or trying to set up) my computer to boot into one of 3 OSes. Primary/Default: Windows XP Pro. 2nd: Windows Vista Beta 2. 3rd: Mac OS X 10.4.*. Has anyone attempted something like this before?

Previously, when I had 10.4.1 installed, I had to boot directly from the DVD because it wouldn't boot from the 2nd hard drive. I would like a "boot menu" to come up giving me the option of loading XP, Vista, or OS X. Ideally, the menu would like the following:

1) Windows XP Professional
2) Windows Vista (Beta 2)
3) OS X "Tiger" 10.4.x

Allowing me to highlight one of the 3 OSes.

Does ANYONE have any ideas as to how to accomplish this?

I'm also in the mist of trying to get my brand new ATI X1600 Pro AGP 8x/4x with 512MB RAM to work with Windows Vista Beta 2. Does anyone have any thoughts? I've been told to use XP drivers, but I don't know how to tell Vista to do that. If any one knows, that'd be great. I've heard some discussion about this Video card running natively on OS X, have we varified that it does run natively?

Thanks for any and everyones help! Much thanks in advance.

No joy on a Dell Inspiron 6000 with Broadcom 440x wired port or Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG using the Goatsecx install DVD of 10.4.6. I'm gonna try the JAS disk patched using PPF Omatic 3. I'llpost back when I've tried it................

I don't know what i would use on Instruction 2. for Relevant Kext. As mentioned I have an Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection. When I go into plugIns I get this (shown under windows):
Click to view attachment

All I can guess is that it must be either AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext or AppleIntel8255x.kext.
Anyone have any idea of what it might be?

I too am a little disappointed at the networking situation; after about 5 installs, I got 10.4.6 working, but I have no networking, despite the HCL saying the TrueMobile 1300 is supported natively. I have never owned a Mac, so I REALLY wanted to test drive before I went and dropped $3G on another laptop (that apparently still has heat problems). I have searched for any explanation of how to get this working, but have as yet found little.

hi there, dell wireless 1370 on an inspiron 710m works great, but there was a trick: I didn't know how to edit the kext file (search for the instructions), so I just copied into the desktop, edited it and pasted it back. THIS DOES NOT WORK! I got an error message after reboot. however, I read a GREAT TRICK around here: go to applications, utilities, disk utilities, repair permissions and you are done!!

Dell Inspiron 9300, no luck getting Broadcom 440x to work.

As a matter of fact, the thing won't work in XP either. I'm booting using Chain0, off of the same HDD, and ever since I put OSX86 10.4.6 on there, the network card won't register. OSX86 isn't able to detect anything in the PCI slot, and XP just keeps telling me that there's no cord in the ethernet slot, despite the fact that there clearly is.

Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG won't work either, but that's to be expected. I haven't even started working on that, since I've been preoccupied with the fact that my network card refuses to work. At all.

Any tips?
