which driver would I need for this/these... ? anyone? thanks alot.

Via Rhine works of course.

So, would you like to share with the rest of us? How did you get it working? Install guide please!

I can't even get ethernet listed in Network!?!?!?!

@iNoob
How did you get the D-link card to work? I have got a D-link DWL-G520 (Which in my world is about the same setup as for your card, but I dont think so), and it doesn't work!
@All
Can any1 help me.

I got great drivers for Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100 Mbps LAN Controller for Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8.
All the drivers and the card worked perfectly on the Mac and the PC.
I have a P5V-VM DH motherboard. It was built-in to it.

Thanks to Common Sense.

I have a Belkin "Wireless G MIMO USB network adapter" On box it says 10.3, and 10.4 is supported, I have 10.5.1 and just was crossing my fingers, because on the belkin driver site there is a 10.5.X beta driver, and it works great, connects every time, no hesitation. Load the driver (.dmg) and it prompts you when to plug in the device, which is common. I also have to wait till I am booted and then plug it in, as apposed to leaving it plugged in and boot.

Hi All!

I've an Hackintosh Leopard 10.5.1. My wireless card is an Atheros 5007eg, that doesn't work on it.

I've the chance to buy this Wireless USB Adapter tomorrow:

Can anyone tell me if it will work?

Thank you!

Help me!!!!
I need driver Broadcom 57xx! Where I can find him?

My friend just bought an a-link PCI ethernet card, which worked 100% out-of-the-box

Now the only things not working are radeon x1300 series video card (no quartz extreme), and sleep mode (dowsn't wake up from sleep)

YES!!! My BCB57xx work!!!!!! But i have problem with MAC adress! How i can change him? Somebody help me please?

Try reading this topic. I didn't read it throug, so it may or may not help you.

Try searching before posting

What problem are you having with the mac address? You shouldn't need to change the mac address. Each network card has a unique mac address that identifies it with the card.

I know my mac adress! But in MAc OS i see this: MAC 00.00.00.00.00.00 How I can change to my mac adress?

No it doesn't. What is wrong with you people? The amount of wishful thinking on this issue is un-freaking believable.

D-link Ethernet DGE-528T PCI works right-out-of-the-box for me!
It's stated on the packaging that it works for both Windows and Macs. I have Leopard 10.5.2 installed.

For a cheap solution that you can get at any Best Buy, I recommend the Dynex DX-E102. It has the Realtek RTL8139 chipset. I put it in my computer and as soon as Leopard booted it recognized the new card and everything worked great. I'm running Kalyway 10.5.2 with vanilla 9.2.2 kernel.

I have used Hawking HWUG1A...there is a driver that comes on the disk for 10.5.x...but they tell you to go to the website and pick up the latest driver because I think there are drivers for 10.3.x and up....just remember you have to "activate it"...in system preferences, network (after installition)...it shows as a ethernet connection, not a wireless connection...so what I had to do was make my firewire and my LAN(wire)"inactive"...and then it showed up as another ethernet connection, in yellow, then configured it (dhcp or manual and WEP or whatever)....

I have also used linksys wusb54gc...by same steps as above...on the box listed as works on os10.3 and 10.4, so i went to linksys site and found a beta driver for 10.5.

Both these seemed to work great for me....

also I had to boot the machine, and after it is booted, then plug in the adapter to your usb, then the usb wireless utility for the adapter pops open....

Hope this helps...

I have been looking for stable LAN driver for my Kalyway 10.5.2 install.

As Mysticus C* said in his manual for iAtkos/Kalyway install NO LAN card works in Leo at 100%!

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...rt=#entry626198



I got same cheep Realtek RTL8139 LAN card which here is reported as working - it's working but with one condition - it works only while Network usage is light. When up or down speed exceeds 2MB/s it just cuts out - only way to get it back restart Leo

Please say I'm wrong - and some LAN card is working 100% under heavy usage too.
(CPUs=1 dose not count as workig 100%)

Edit: I'm looking for on board Network card - wired card, not wireless - wireless isn't fast enough for me

my system:
EVGA NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 8800GTS 640MB Video Card
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz LGA 775
CORSAIR Dominator 2GB RAM
added for Leo - Realtek RTL8139 Network Controler

I have Belkin F5D 8053 USB N Wireless adapter working just like a charm with a driver from Ralink company.. on my OSX86 DELL D 620

Hi,

I'm after a PCI-Express x1 NIC that will work - low profile preferred but as long as the bracket is completely removable, this is okay.

Any suggestions?

Yeah. The topic of this thread is "What network cards work?" I suggest if more people stuck to the topic it might actually be useful.

US Robotics USR5419 Draft Ndx PCI Card

Unknown Broadcom BCM94xxx "Intensi-fi" chipset.
Works natively as "Third part Airport Adapter" with 10.5.1 even in N mode
Upgrading to 10.5.2 kills the card, until you remove AppleAirPort.kext - then support is back.

D-Link DFE-528TX, oob (with little bit of manual configuration) on Kalyway 10.5.2.

would be very nice if You could post what did You do to make it work & if it's working under heavy usage too

Listen, this topic is for cards that ARE working. Your post just clutters up the thread and make s it harder for people to find what they're looking for.

I stated that weeks ago, so those posts will be deleted.

I would recommend anyone looking to buy a NIC that has supported drivers to check the drivers available from http://www.small-tree.com/

They offer drivers for some of the Intel NIC chipsets (not the 82566DM, if you are wondering) but could help you find the right add-on NIC.

I would not recommend you buy one of their NICs as they are specifically designed to go into Mac hardware, so your mileage may vary. Some are only for PowerPC machines anyway.

D-Link DWA-140 wireless N USB adapter works with the Ralink RT2870 driver. There's a minor issue with it though. See here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=104781

Have a P5N-D with the Nforce built in eithernet. Only works with CPUS=1

any after market PIC or USB wireless / network adapters I can buy?

I confirm that the Linksys WMP300N Rev.2 works out of the box on 10.5.2 (Leo4allv3) and is recognised as Airport Extreme.
It has to be the first adapter on list to work though.

How do you get it as first on list?

what about any Lan cards instead of wireless? Can I use all 4 cores on my Q6600?

hello. I have a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN Card and I cant seem to get it working on OS X 10.5.3. What kext file are you using, and would you be kind enough to share it please?

Thanks,

My T43 Thinkpad IBM has Gigabit Ethernet.
and it doesnt work !

any help ??!!! PlZ !

more information needed :Hardware ID/Model number and Vendor Name for example 3COM , blah blah ...BCM5787/BCM5787M working Gigabyte USB Wirless 54 (RT25xx) working

Dear Eternal Empty !

my hardware:

T43/IBM
cpu : Intel Pentium M processor 750 (1.86 GHz),2MB L2 cache, bus 533
ram: 512-MB DDR2-533
graphic : 64-MB DDR SDRAM (ATI M22-64)
lan: Broadcom Netxtreme Gigabit ethernet

unfortunately I couldnt find exact version ....but I searched in lenovo website and I found it should be BCM57710 but Im not sure about this.

is there any good news ?!
im waiting ....

IIRC, back in the DOS days we could simply treat any wired NIC as an NE2000 compatible card and it would generally work... in fact, isn't that true in linux as well? Is there no generic ethernet controller driver in OSX that we can fall back on?

And what about ndis.. is there a way to wrap Windows NIC drivers?

My Kn8-Ultra onboard card did not work - so I read the guide and went and bought a netgear GA311 - that one works without patches and it's pretty cheap.

I'm using the P5WDH motherboard, and got annoyed that the built-in Wifi skipped out every so often (particularly under heavy usage). I was using the latest Realtek drivers, but still it would drop the connection, and I had to reboot to get it working again.

Then I went and got the Dlink 547 off ebay at a bargain, and it works OTB, never drops the signal, and gets very good throughput even with my 11g router. I may upgrade the router to an 11n draft model in the near future, we'll see how it handles then.
No dropped connections, no fuss, just restart the computer, put in the necessary information, restart the connection, and it works.

Coincidentally, if someone could PM me a way to remove the Realtek USB driver from the startup list once and for all (since it doesn't show up in the login items list), I'd be grateful. I'm on a Kalyway install.

The lack of information prevents anyone from helping you.


This is a common problem, for some reason the connection on the little header that the card plugs into develops some corrosion and the only way to resolve this is to remove the adapter, clean the pins and plug and re-install.

A better solution was to remove the device from the motherboard, find an old USB mouse cable, a small IC 3.3v low power voltage regulator (this is tiny - less than $2.00 each - I've got 9 more), a 12 pin header to plug into card (less than $1.00) which you solder the USB cable and IC onto and a small electronics project box to house the card I opted for a small cast aluminum 3.5" X 2" X.75" enclosure ($6.95).

I drilled a 9/64" hole at one end to place the antenna connector out of, notched the other end just enough to have the base hold the cable firmly in place and plug it into any USB port and it seems to be more stable than when it is connected to the motherboard.

Wow. It's pretty nice to get a reply this detailed and helpful.
Unfortunately, it's a bit late, and the 547 is working fine. Coincidentally, I got it for €14 off ebay, only slightly more than the DIY approach detailed above. Gotta love typos on ebay...

The 547 seems to be a really good alternative to the more expensive 556, which also needs a pci express slot as opposed to the regular pci slot for the 547.

One weird issue I experienced is the airport connection sometimes becoming non-functional if the ethernet connection is turned off. It doesn't happen everytime, but often enough to seem to be correlated.

The self-assigned IP address thing doesn't happen nearly as often with the 547 as it did with the built-in P5W wifi adapter, and in any case, this seems to be an issue between Leopard and the router.

Well my new card just arrived this morning.

I thought it was going to be a huge hassle to install and what not but it worked straight away.

The D-Link DFE-538TX works like a charm in my Mac OSx 10.5 ;D

Also it's pretty cheap, I think i got mine for £10 off ebay and to be honest, a bargain ;P

i went to my local bestbuy picked up a NETGEAR GIGABIT PCI ADAPTER model # GA311 (if you do a search at their site you can see which one it is) just put that sucker in and its been working perfectly with no problems
at all. couldnt get my NVidia Nforce 570 SLI MCP Dual Gigabit working..

The use of a device-property string for ethernet resolves a lot more than just assigning it as builtin, it stabilizes the connections and prevents other devices from being affected because this device is assigned as the built-in primary adapter if you enable and disable the device.

Now for a decent working network adapter.

At the local "Komputer Korner (Trash N Treasures)" I picked up an HP Gigabit Nextreme desktop PCIe dual ethernet adapter (BCM5704) for $3.00, surprisingly enough it works out of the box and is the same ethernet as found in the dual 2.3ghz G5 XServe, registers one port as the primary device but requires a device-property to register it as built-in, once this occurs, it pops up in Network prefs as "Built-in Ethernet" and allows you to bind the adapters together so you can DHCP on the second port and share the internet from the first, sorta like adding a built in DHCP gigabit router.

I can't read the actual part number cause the card was kicked around in a box with a couple hundred other network adapters and other than the labels being beat to death the card looked otherwise OK and it has the HP logo and name on the sticker.

I did see a 4 port BCM5708 in PCI-X 64bit but since I don't have any PCI-X 64bit slots on my Gateway 975 I didn't wanna risk it not being 32bit compatible so I opted for the 2 port PCIe card.

No problem : )

Hey guys,

same for me. Got the 4CoreDual-VSTA board having the same chip onboard.
Any solution?
