Nice. Anyone else got success with this?

How can I install this?

It works perfect. Thanks a lot DaemonES

hi guy,

i have installed the RealtekR1000_1.02.zip driver successfully. thanks for your work. it works fine.

when running BT, its transfer rate is pretty slow, say 1-40Kbps. It usually able to run at 1000Kbps in Windows. is there any way to tune up?

gajda you have very specific issue, I'll try to fix it later.

llm3000 try to load version from post 147.

Yes I know
Thank you for your effort

It works! i used to have that intermittent crashing problems with the previous driver, which was irritating. But it works great now!

Brilliant job!

DaemonES, i would love to talk to you about your kernel, your pm is close can you pm me with instructons on how i can contact yo?
thanks!

btw i dont speak russioan

DaemonES
thanks for your help. I got the following error message when loading the new driver. i used the onbroad Realtek RTL8168/8111 LAN of AsRock 945G-DVI.

Missing dependencies:
{
"com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily" =
"A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
}

llm3000 your priginal kexts were modified. Look to the system profiler extensions find IOPCIFamily in list. Find the version of the kext, and the open Info.plist of RealtekR1000 and write proper version of IOPCIFamily manually.

Hi... DeamonES.... Your last driver is solution for me. Work`s VERY VERY FINE.
Can you post your final solution on http://www.installers.dl.am/

Once again... thank`s for help...

DeamonES

got the same error message
Missing dependencies:
{
"com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily" =
"A valid compatible version of this dependency cannot be found"
}

i have changed the version number in Info.plist.
<key>com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily</key>
<string>1.8</string>

got the version from System Profile Extensions
IOPCIFamily:
Version: 1.8
Last Modified: 24/11/2006 1:36 PM
Get Info String: 1.8, Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 2000-2004
Location: /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIFamily.kext
kext Version: 1.8
Load Address: 0x24565000
Valid: Yes
Authentic: Yes
Dependencies: Satisfied
Integrity: Correct

i tried 1.6 (which is stated at the RealtekR1000_1.02.zip) also and got the same error msg. thanks for your help.

see this

i has Realtek RTL 8101L onboard, i copy the kext from 10.4.6 overwrite the kext inside IONetworkingFamily.kext

after that disk permission repair

reboot

it works !!!!

os : 10.4.8

everytime, when i install driver, i received kernel panic...(after restart)

my ethernet : realtek 8168/8111 (onboard)
mainboard : gigabyte 945p-s3

any idea?

Logs, logs and again logs. I need log from debug version of driver (latest driver!)!

Please DaemonES.... Can you post your latest driver?

Thank`s in advance... :-)

DaemonES

two things, your installer (the one neoPheus made) works ok for 10.4.8 and your newest kernel?


BTW your last kernel says CORE SOLO and the CHUD says its a single core with HT...


any ideas?

Ok... When I install Azureus and start torrenting... after some time my modem is reset... I think the network card is reset (connection)... Here is the logs....

Thank`s in advance... :-)

Hi, I just change my motherboard and cpu. I buy ASRock Conroe945-DVI + Core 2 Duo. I have work all: video, sound and network.
But, my system crash after ± 30 min. It happen when I plug my ethernet cable in port. So, I think, driver's don't work well for me.
What can I do to help resolve this problem?

DemonES,
Your 1.02 driver works perfectly in my Laptop with RTL8168 Chipset. Thanks.

Hey Guys,

I've got a motherboard that has a i945G and ICH7, with the realtek 8111B network interface. I tried to install this driver, but it says:

kextload: extension RealtekR1000.kext appears to be valid
17rtl_r1000_nic_ext is not compatible with its superclass, 20IOEthernetController superclass changed?
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension RealtekR1000.kext/
load failed for extension RealtekR1000.kext

Any clues?

1.02 gives me about four minutes use before I get the dreaded freeze and You need to reboot message. Motherboard is the Asrock 945G-DVI (RTL8168). Sounds as though some people have had joy modifying kexts but I am noob there, will wait until 1.03 with an installer. Good job DaemonES.

Now network work fine. I just upgrade to 10.4.8 + new core + driver in post 147.

Try this version, works fine on my Asrock 945G-DVI

DaemonES:

On my AB9 I had to remove your driver from my kext Extensions folder when setting the HDD controller to AHCI (works OK for IDE) and instead load it by the rc.local script.

If I have your driver (the lastest I can find above in this thread) in the Extensions folder and running HDD controller in AHCI mode it just hangs before the login prompt appears, loading it by rc.login solves this.

Furthermore, having the driver in the Extensions folder but running HDD controller in IDE mode allows the login prompt to load but I can't be to quick in pressing a user to type in text because then I get a spinning wheel of death which it never recovers from. If I wait about 15 seconds it's ok and I can log in normally. Haven't tried if this is present when loading by rc.local (but I know I do not have to wait if I don't load the driver at all).

If I run the debug version, were would the logs be written??

tomtefar hm, that strange, what about AW9D-Max, does it works fine with HDD in AHCI mode?
You can found logs at /var/logs/system.log

DaemonES: Yeah I found it kind of strange also. Had an idea of that maybe it would work if I used a static IP.

Will have time to test all this in about 14 hours or so. Will get back to you.

This is what I find in system.log when debug version is in Extensions folder on AB9 Pro using AHCI:

Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] Link Status: Not Linked
Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::R1000InitEventSources()

Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::registerWithPolicyMaker(IOService *policyMaker)
Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::setPowerState(unsigned long powerStateOrdinal, IOService *policyMaker)
Jan 6 00:08:42 localhost kernel[0]: [rtl_r1000_nic_ext] RealtekR1000::configureInterface(IONetworkInterface *interface)


then it just hangs on a light-blue screen before the oridnary blue and login screen.

Will try AW9D with ACHI now also.

Using AHCI on AW9D and have kext in Extensions folder works flawlessly. I guess there is no need to dig up debug output then??

Hi, can anyone please explain how to install this driver from post#147 for a newbie, I guess they'r source files, what should i do with them?

That's good to know, thanks but... being a noob I'm scratching my head over what and where to put things. I don't know if gr8 is using the same motherboard as us but... How did you do it!

will this work on OSX 10.4.1?

DaemonES, I just sent you an email with the output from my logs. I'm having the freeze problem on an 8169 each time I load into OSX. Thanks for your work here!

Post #147 worked for me!!! I thought the original one worked fine for me, but it didn't. My couplter would work for hours and then kernel panic. It would never work overnight. I even underclocked my CPU. I thought it wasn't my processor settings anyways, because I could do a 2 hour mpeg2 render without a problem, ant the thing would panic when it was idle. So after reading on here that people have had kernel panic with the driver on post 1, I thought it would be a good start to try post #147.

No kernel panic since! Woohoo!!!!!

yeah, this driver worked for me also, but it's really slow, anyone knows what could be the problem?

Thanks guys for your input and sorry for jumping to conclusions, but it seems after all that my problem is router-related, and not really ethernet card related. It seems that Linksys WRT54G routers don't like giving DHCP addresses to OSX, so I need to focus there. Unless anyone has any solutions for that? I'll probably split it off to its own thread though.

Thanks again!

tomtefar thanks for info. Something connected with power management in driver, will try to fix this later.

DaemonES: Great!

Is there anything else I can do to supply you with more info??


And, btw, thank you!

hey guys i just downloaded the installer from the site.......
after i installed it it got the following error
"your system need to be turned off hold the shutdown button......" or some thing similar
it appears after sometime the system starts and then the system freezes
its working fine when i uninstall the driver
my mobo is asrock conroe945-dvi

i have jas 10.4.7 dvd

ok guys i tried the one in 147 but it says

missing dependencies
-- "com.apple.iokit.IOPCI Family"

any help???

tomtefar yeah, it would be great if you'll send me CPU-Z register dump.
avenger you version of OSX is too old, you can edit Info.plist manually and set version of IOPCIFamily to 1.6.

thanx daemones just edited the files and got it working ............mine is 1.8 version...................
thanx a lot.............
im so happy finally i got my complete working mac

so far no kernel panic....... if its there i will inform

once again thanx a lot

DaemonES: I'm sorry, the only CPU-Z I'm familiar with is the Windows tool for reading CPU and memory settings?? Is there an other program called CPU-Z?? How do I go about reading said information??

tomtefar yes this is a Windows program. Have you windows installed on your hackintosh?

What? Willingly install a virus? j/k

DaemonES: Yeah I have, unsure how to make a register dump though but will have a look at it.


EDIT: Ok, got the register dump. See attachment please.

Is v1.02 the latest version of this driver? My system locks up and a message appears prompting for a reboot if left on overnight. Seems a few others are having this issue as well.

Can anyone tell if the driver in post #147 is newer than the v1.02 installer the NeoPhus made?

tomtefar thanks.
jeenam latest driver will solve you problem. See at the head post, it's newer that 1.02.

i got some errors : " unable to allocate pad vm for /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/plugIns/Mach.kext/Mach - (os/kern) no space available"
when i typed " sudo kextload -t RealtekR1000.kext " .

how can i do then? please help me!
