well pm me your email and i'll email them to you.... what kind of install do you have on there right now? i only have the stuff for Leopard right now........

I got a 8800GT instead of 8800GTX, and I have a measly 160GB hard drive that I'll upgrade soon, and I have the 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo

I think the blueray was only like $50 extra..... but I could be wrong....

No, it wasn't. BluRay is really really really expensive...

Yup, a $500 option.

As a Christmas gift to us all I think mrjoe you should paypal bigdaddyjoe2g the cost of using his ultra slow iphone connection to upload the 82566 driver!

Oh Dang..... My bad!....



Why just him?

It was a joke. Even though many of us are eagerly anticipating this kext, mrjoe wears it on his sleeve.

Just a sample:

LOL!!!! but hopefully we will have it on December 26!

lolz. You know... I even might do that ..

This does kinda make me wonder how big this kext is going to be. if its a few megs, heck I have run torrents (and played WoW one summer at my cabin) over an EDGE connection before.
I hope one day it becomes possible to tether the iPhone to a mac. That would be awesome to use it as a bluetooth or USB modem, especially when we get a 3G version. Though I have t-mobile so I cant get 3G unless Apple adds that frequency range to the 3G radio, and the US government gets off of t-mobile's spectrum.

Just keeping this bumped up. What ethernet card is good to buy for Leo? Best buy has the DLink 530-TX I think and some Dynex brand; hear any type of realtek works fine but no stores seem to carry it? Where can I find a list to look at while I search different stores?

I think D-Link 530 has a Realtek 8139 which is supported. (Don't take my words, but verify yourself). By the way, which LAN card does you motherboard give you?

If we don't get this today....... I don't know what I'll do!

I should probably buy an ethernet card instead....... but I thought I wouldn't need to.............


and how do you get time machine working? I tried once...... but when I rebooted...... I got a kernel panic

this might be usefull for perfecting the kext..

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78047

Hmmmm........ Not I got more info as to why it doesn't work.........
But we might not need it depending on how this kext works out But it would be nice to have this in case it doesn't.........

Hi to everyone

Everything works for me with ToH RC2 +
- Sound: AppleHDApacher v16 and Dump
- Video: NVinject
- Network card: new one (a Realtek) bought
- EFI patch -> 10.5.1 update without any issue

Everything was possible thanks to this forum and this HUGE patch.

Nevertheless I still have some questions:
- For a XPS 410, should I use iATKOS or Kalyway new releases? Do you think I have to switch to one of these new releases?
- How could I solve ICH8 issues comptibility?
- What is the best for a XPS: MBR or GUID ?
- Do I have to definitely forget the RAID integrated in the BIOS?

Thx in advance

My motherboard has a gigabit 82566DC ethernet card. I tried the Intel Pro/100VE drivers and it says under network in Leo that a ethernet cable in unplugged. Right now I am getting online cuz I plugged in my cable modem to the pc via usb and Mac OSX recognizes it as a working card.

there are no drivers for the 82566DC that work atm. We are waiting for someone to post one to the site to see if he has made Kexts that work with this nic. The Pro/100VE drivers are not remotely close to the 82566DC due to major differences in chip used in each. Thats why it didn't work.

Oh I see. What the about the sigmatel 9227? I tried the 8384 and 7618 installer and that didnt work, I tried all the patchers and the sigmatel dump that didnt work either. Any solutions??

..am i the only person getting worried that these drivers aren't going to appear?

If everything works now, don't bother reinstalling, you don't have much to gain.
(You can install PC EFI on to ToH without reinstalling.)

I haven't noticed any difference between MBR and GUID. (Which I expected )
Using the Kalyway DVD did support my ICH9R in AHCI mode where no other DVDs didn't.

I recommend the iATKOS, but use your USB thumb drive and do the EFI manually. Honestly GUID is vary handy as it allows dynamic resizing of HFS+ partitions, the psudo-boot camp methods, and is what a real mac is supposed to have. One of the few things I have against iATKOS is that it requires MBR for the partitioning scheme, honestly I think its just laziness.
But if you aren't having any problems are issues, just keep the ToH install. You wont gain much.

What kind of ICH8 issues are you having specifically?

Always go with GUID unless you have a reason not to.

99% of motherboards with RAID options don't support any form of hardware RAID. They are just marking the partitions and reporting to the OS to make it a software RAID. You can get the exact same effect by using the software RAID options in Disk Utility on a normal mac. I am not sure if RAID options work on a hackintosh though.

Honestly, I have started giving up on the NIC driver Think, we may never have it again... Already, people have (almost) started forgetting that, and the topic is moving some other way...

Thanks for all your replies.
I will give feedbacks if I try another release.

See U

i'm gonna by a cheap pci nic today probably..

could people recommend me a couple of options please..

thanks..

(BTW if anyone wants any pro audio advice or help with their hack, i'm happy to help)

Try to go for a Realtek One... say Realtek 8139. They work out of the box. Many D-Link cards have them. I am using one, atm. I have forgotten the model number... you can try the D-Link website. Perhaps it was 530TX or something.

Yeah, maybe an option for desktop users... But not really for laptop users: got a brand new hp 8710p on which video QE/CI is finally working: geForce Quadro NVS320M. A real beast of a notebook but with a 82566 gigabit ethernet onboard

So no real option for many of us...

I have seen people with the D link 530-TX, said it did not work for them. Shows up as realtek in windows but unsupported device in MAC OSX. I have tried to look for an actual realtek card in stores but it is impossible to find...may want to try ebay or newegg for one.

If I have a supported NIC can I just stick it in the machine, boot up and it'll work? I've got 10.5.1 Vanilla installed with Kalyway.

And so the story goes ... di da di...

any news about motherboard lan 82566 for leo.don't work for me

no, not yet.

well that sucks.....
This whole topic is waiting for it......... He is still probably away though.....

Getting impatient, (understandably) aren't we?

Maybe a little bit........
No...... I understand that all good things have a waiting period......
This better satisfy the wait!

i just found a Linksys wireless card, model WMP54G will that work, i cant find any information about it. tx alot.

the driver ethernet kext is still not available
is that possible to release it, even beta?

its done...... but when it was completed.... he didn't have internet at his house at the time.... then he had to leave somewhere...... and so he won't be back until the 4th i guess....

hope it would be available after 4th Jan

ya.... me too!

Would it be possible for someone to be in touch with him?

he had is number up at one point..... but someone told him to remove it...... (which was good advice) you could look on google's archives for it...... but i doubt its there..... i will see if it is...

Edit:

it is on the post #276 on this forum in a quote..... he didn't remove it..... so if you want to text him... there you go!

Another question: with some XPS 410, Dell provides a keyboard/mouse using a USB bluetooth dongle.
Under Vista, I use Logitech SetPoint software so that my computer can detect my cellphone with a bluetooh connexion.
The Logitech soft for Mac doesn't enable me to perform the same task.
If this dongle can really provide bluetooth functionality, it should enable the bluetooth panel in Preferences System, it is not my case.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

so your saying that mac won't reconise it unless you install the software..... Right?

I mean that after the installation, the soft does not recognize the keyboard and the mouse but the both work. Not a matter on that.
My concern is focused on my cell phone. I have no way to detect it. Under Vista, everything easily works thanks to SetPoint from Logitech.
The bluetooth panel dedicated to add new devices should appear in Preferences System and I see nothing

Perhaps I have to download drivers from another manufacturer?

Anyaway thanks for spending time on my issue.

ya..... i don't know..... I don't have anything bluetooth besides my phone (which the bluetooth on it doesn't work thanks to verizon) so i can't really help you..... All I can say is to just search the forums for bluetooth drivers

waiting for nic driver to...... dg965wh has this nic as well.... onlything left to get working.

Did anyone succeed in installing Kalyway on our XPS 410?
I can not boot, only a black screen with a flashing underscore ...
I have tried with MBR and GUID.

Any idea?

NIC Intel 82566 Finally Works??????????i don't believe.....it's true?i have the same.what is the procedure?tnx

AppleIntel8254x.kext can be edited to fit 82566, they're similar, just edit a few values like those Rx / Tx limits, and then you're done. I'm not sure if this works.

I mean, even the device ID's:

0x10008086
0x104b8086

Differ by only two measly digits. In the back of the number, too.
