Sorry DaemonES , but I cant find them on the applesite. Any hint where I should look?

Or does anybody have AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext from previous jas-versions uploaded somewhere, so I could use that?

tnx man.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=225354 has a nice description on how to fix too by the way, without having to compile.

My time to whine now...

I just bought an ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 (Intel 945) with Realtek 8168 Gigabit LAN. I installed the driver and it works, but at random periods of time i get the grey screen with "you need to restart your computer". I suspected that the driver might be the cause, so I disabled the NIC from BIOS and put the computer to work for half an hour. And nothing happened.

How can I find out if it's realy the driver conflicting with anything?

At the moment I'm running 10.4.6, but I'm getting the JaS 10.4.8 soon. Hopefully that will fix it.

Go to http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=226873 , I described solution for the 8139-problem there.

But I have an RTL8168/8111 NIC, not 8139...

Oh ye, maybe it looked like it, but that wasnt a response to you. Just a follow-up on my own posts.

I also have the "Kernel Panic (forced restart)" problem.
When I install the driver, the internet works. But, the system suddenly stops within a few minutes.
Seems like a conflict between the system and the driver because it becomes OK once I uninstall the driver.
I'm using Asrock Conroe 945G-DVI, Jas 10.4.7 and the onboard chip is 8111B
Hope to be solved!
Thank you.

Thanks ^^

If I have a motherboard with two 8111s on it, will the skge-driver find both of them and drive both of them??

I'm asking since I'm thinking of getting a new mobo, otherwise I would just test it of course.

Eunyong how many PCI devices do you use?
tomtefar this is r1000 driver, not skge But yes, it will work with 2 cards (but will not work with one card and 2 PHY's).

I only use onboard lan (PCI-E 8168/8111) and embeded VGA (945G). There's no other PCI device.
FIY, I connect the lan to my cable modem (Motorola SB5120).

Hi DaemonES.Any progress with 1.03 version....?

gajda yes, I have some guesses, but still no time for it (was busy with kernel dev). In general IRQ sharing is not a reason of crashes, problems with DMA on some configurations.

DaemonES: I just got my AB9 Pro and it seems to detect both the network ports. I have not tested both at the same time, don't have the equipment yet.

*If* I had one card but two PHYs, would it still detect both?? (Can this be my case but I do not notice it since I can not test both at the same time???)

DaemonES:

Could you work in ALC Azalia audio drivers (with output & input) please!!!
You are an expert...i´m waiting for ALC860 audio input since September 2005 ! and i can´t find a solution yet!

Thank you very very much!

tomtefar it seems, that you have two separate controllers (one controller - one PHY).
Schweppes I and some other guys from russian community will start porting Linux ALSA to Darwin soon.

Great! Thanks for the driver!!

My Asrock ConRoe945G-DVI have same problem!

DaemonES: maybe 1.0.3 will fix that?

Works very stable on my MSI S262 notebook.
But has the problem mentioned above - it doesnt get the parameters from DHCP.
Well i just created several locations in `Network` (Home1, Home2, Work, ...) but switching them each time is qute boring
If you can fix this i'll be very grateful

It seems like something wrong with my ASUS A6Jc laptop(with a Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC)
It appears a grey screen with 4 languages,just after I get access to the Internet.
How can i fix it?

first off, i would like to thank everyone involved in this project for their time effort and knowledge. i have this driver running successfully on an asus p5b MB running 10.4.8 w/ semthex, that has an 8111b LAN. It loads perfectly and has been very stable. The only problem is that the max DL bandwidth speed is always around 230KB, when it should be around 315KB.... about a 30% drop. I have tried changing the ethernet settings manually, but that didn't help, although i did notice that the port LEDs displayed properly. any thoughts?

Hi
my RTL8168 can be seen by my system. the in-build net is also good. but I can not go further on line.
I follow the steps, and debug was right. what is wrong?

Anything for a Realtek PHY RTL8201CL on an Asrock 939NF4G-VSTA mobo?

Like DEBEAT I have an ASROCK 939dual-sata2 and lan LAN - Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100 Ethernet LAN PHY
How can I make it work?

I have a GA-945P-S3 with LAN Realtek RTL8111B. I installed patch v1.02 and now I can connect to internet but a few seconds after that my system crash (freeze). How can I solve this? I'm desperate

I have OS X 10.4.6 with JAS Update 10.4.7 and 10.4.8.

It seems, that RTL8201 works fine with AppleRealtek8139.

nahdude very strange. Try to decrease packet size in network configuration.

Mutenroy show me panic message. For example try to load diver from singleuser mode.

Sorry, but now I've stuck with kernel development and have no time for this driver (cause it works perfect for me, I'm lucky? )

Is it working with the Realtek 8139? That would be really nice, that's the one in my AMD64 Compaq laptop

Hell yeah. I hope I can try your solution somewhere tomorrow, if the installment of 10.4.6 from JAS is going to work... prey prey. On my compaq presario R3000 AMD 64 there is the Realtek 8139 Ethernet onboard. If that works you're my god because I need to download a lot of stuff on that newborn Mac after OSX86 is running on it

update: even better, just saw this website:

http://www3.sympatico.ca/ferluc/Fedora/

It looks like Linux/Unix systems, and Mac OSX also probably, works fine with the hardware parts... fingers crossed, enough linux drivers available

Great Job.
Could you please do something about the Realtek RTL8139/810X Family Fast Ethernet NIC?

810X works well with this driver. 8139 works with Apple driver.

I can´t connect to internet. The driver works good for me but my pc still freezes a few second later Help, please

is there a solution for Realtec 8139?

Hi...

Same problem to... My NET Card is:

Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)

But with me... it`s crash after 8 to 15 mins...

If you get solution, please help me... Working on internet foe 10 mins is not solution... :-)

It's solution for me, and people who can send real bug reports. I've downloaded through this driver gigabytes of data from LAN.

Crash can't say anything for me.

As I sad, I'm planing to fix this, but now have no time.

Can you send me, what info EXACTLY do you need, for solving the problem......?????

I have same problem... when I`m not on the net, everything works GREAT... but after 8 to 15 mins of browsing or downloading it CRASH (restart or power off)

(Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)

Can you send me, what info EXACTLY do you need, for solving the problem......?????

Thank`s in advance... :-)

So this is compatible with 8139?

siddharth please read the topic first. No, not working yet, try Apple driver.

programgeniusyu I need system.log with messages with debug version of the driver. And also I need to know panic message.

ok... I must first boot MAC OS X and try to find things you need...

I`m in "MAC world" for the first time in my life and very, very very noob, but i menage to do everything (installation and drivers), without seating on your head...

Since I want to erase, format, kill Windows and bee only the MAC user, I can`t continue without Internet....

And imagine my smile :-) when I see google screen for the firs time on my Intel MAC...... and my :-( when see gray swich off or restart screen... I try and I try and I try to fix it by my self.... but.... As you see I talk to the maker of driver... I know we going to find solution....

Thank`s

Oh =|

To get kernel panic message try to load in singleuser mode (boot parameter -s) and load debug version of driver manually (you can find it in archive attached to first post). After than wait until kernel panic being.

I can`t get to type -s... how can i stop loading darwin... I have two HD`s and bios boot loader.. When i go to MAC HD... system starts at once

Ok...here is it..... This is what I found.... I put it on *.rtf file......

Well first of all. You using non-debug version of driver, so nothing useful in logs. Please refer to FAQ how-to delete kext's and load their manually.

And the second, I need panic message, for that you must crash you computer from singleuser. Only in this case mach_kernel will be print panic message to screen.

Hi.Has anybody tried r1000 driver for 8168/8111 PCIE NIC with 10.4.8?I had installed it.Result: No freezing,but still no working for me.In networking control panel is ethernet option gray.I tried to install ionetworkingfamily.kext and iopcifamily.kext from 10.4.6 MYZAR DVD.With this kexts ethernet works but freez my system same as before...damn

gajda you don't need old kext's. Simply load driver and all.
Maybe OSX DHCP doesn't work with you network equipment (this is not problem of this driver). Try to set IP address manually.

DaemonES.I can´t set anything in network preferences except firewire.In system profiler i can´t see mac adress neither

gajda thats mean, that driver not working. As I said hundreds of times open log window and load debug version of driver.

Who have problems, please try this.

DaemonES

Hi.... I try at boot -s, and after uninstall driver I have, install debug and load it... and... what next.. I`m in cmd mode... wait and wait and wait... and nothing... Then I reboot and -s and it shows that debug driver is up...

Should I wait until something hapen?
Should I type exit?
Should I type /sbin/mount -uw /?

After panic message (if I get it) I must restart... and then...?

> Should I type /sbin/mount -uw /?
Yes.

> After panic message (if I get it) I must restart... and then...?
You must note panic message by hands.

And try latest version please.

Great! now work on my Asrock 945G-DVI (RTL8168) very stable!
Thanks a lot!!
