I have the same issue, any help would be appreciated

The driver is working out of the box!
Thanxx a lot, good job, DaemonES.

Thanks Daemon, the new release fixed a problem I had before. Before, intensive use, like P2P was locking up my system, now it' ssmooth as fluff!

Thanks so much!

DaemonES: Ok, sounds great! Let me know when you want me yo try anything!

Many thanks to DaemonES for your driver

It works fine on my Notebook Wortmann/Clevo M 520N, Core 2 Duo 5600 (1,83 GHz) with that Realtek 8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit-NIC. I'm online with it at this moment.

Very good job!

Greetings from good old Germany

The 1.04 release fixed my locking up issues also. Thanks.

Will this work on RTL8185?

OMG, RTL8185 is wireless card, don't ask useless questions.

Hi,

I upgraded to from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 and my working Ethernet stopped working. Fortunately, I found your patch and I now have my Ethernet back and connect to the Internet.

Now if only I could get my Realtek audio working (audio has never worked)

Thanks.

This is not a patch, this is a driver.

Asus p4p800-mx
10.4.8 /8.8.1
RTL 8101L

With the 1.02 driver version (and apple8139 removed) the driver appears to load:
kernel[0]: rtl_r1000_nic_ext: Ethernet address 00:15:f2:a1:10:ab

however the network status is always "cable unplugged" and trying to set the duplex/speed has no effect at all.

With the 1.04 driver, the RTL-8101L is not seen at all. Even the debug version prints nothing at all upon load.

Any ideas?

Hi guys!

I have a "SiS 900 Fast Ethernet Adapter (PHY: Realtek RTL8201/L/BL) PCI" onboard lan in my notebook (HP compaq Presario B1013)
I have the problem, that the Mac recognize it, but it apears grey in the network, so i can't do anything with it.
How can i get it work?

foobar04 hm, maybe AppleRealtek8139 can works with you NIC? Anyway install debug version of driver manually (see first post) and send me log.

Vampnight write driver for it. I could do this, but I took another NIC to my view

Worked great for my new gigabit ethernet NIC.

JaS AMD-Intel SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 10.4.8
CompUSA 10/100/1000 Network PCI Card (RTL8169S-32)
Dell Dimension 2400

Disabled the onboard 10/100 NIC first, then ran your installer in 1.04. Works great! Now to figure out what my new bottleneck is...

Does anyone but me have problems with the R1000 driver occasionally disconnecting?

This appears to happen randomly every few minutes depending on what the computer is doing, then it'll come back after a while.

I'm working around it for now, by running a small shell script in an infinite loop, that pings my gateway every 5 secs. When I do this my connection never drops.

NOTE: Loading the debug version of the driver does not appear to produce any meaningful data, although, if needed I can of course load it and dump the logs out if it will help to troubleshoot this...

Hardware:
Abit AB9 Pro
Using onboard RTL 8111/8168B ports.

First, thank you! i got my Realtek 8138/8111 working with the installer 1.04. it works within the first restart after installation without problems.. (i'm writing this with safari) but after restarting again it shows this message:

The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext“ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.

i tried with this:



i got this:

kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext is not authentic (check ownership and permissions)

kernel extension RealtekR1000.kext has problems:
Authentication failures:
{
"File owner/permissions are incorrect" = (
"/System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext"
"/System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext/Contents/Info.plist"
"/System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext/Contents"
"/System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext/Contents/MacOS/RealtekR1000"
"/System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext/Contents/MacOS"
)
}



i changed the permisions of kext file to system but after restart it wouldnt work again.
perhaps its a stupid thing, but i'm a newbie. please, dont go mad with me. some solution?¿

I had the same problem here. Driver is not working now.
System loads the driver but doesn't get an IP. If I put the IP manually it tells me that cable is not plugged in. I tried changing MTU and other settings manually and continues with the same problem.

Anyway, thanks very much for the driver.

PS.: I have some skills coding (few skills). I would like to understand a little bit more how to write some drivers. If you have some piece of codes there, or want to talk about it out of the forum, send me an email marcostrinca at gmail com
I tried downloading your zip file from sourceforge but it's not extracting.

EDIT: Forgot to say that my problems are not with permission.

Inovision: Try doing that:

1. cp the RealtekR1000.kext for your Desktop (computer will ask u to authenticate)
2. open DiskUtility and run repairPermissions
3. cp the RealtekR1000.kext again to extension's folder
4. open terminal and type sudo -s chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext
5. chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/RealtekR1000.kext
6. rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.*
7. type reboot

Thanks

Thanks for all the work guys & gals. I'm having a hell of a time getting a eg1032v3 to work. It uses the Realtek 8169 chip (http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Linksys_Gigabit_Network_Adapter_EG1032_v3_c12430.html), but I can't seem to get anywhere with it. I've loaded the RealtekR1000.kext successfully, and I can see the port on reboot (en1), but it won't negotiate DHCP. The card works perfectly in Linux & XP. I've searched, but nobody seems to have any specific experience with this card. Any ideas?

Not working on MSI P965 Platinum. Chip is Realtek 8111B (10EC 8168). Running JaS 10.4.8.

Network Preferences says cable unplugged, "ifconfig" command reports "status: inactive". Tried assigning address manually and setting speed/duplex mode, no luck. Tried 1.02 and 1.04 driver. Loaded debug version also, doesn't seem to show anything useful in the log. Lights on the LAN port don't come on either.

XP Device Manager shows that it's using IRQ 17, shared with ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 and Root Port 5.

Has anyone had any success with a similar setup?

DaemonES, just to say that the .zip from sourceforge is working well with another mirror.

By the way, the driver continues doesn't working in my machine. I tried everything I can read inside this thread.

Any idea?

Computer: Toshiba A135/S4487 - Duo Core 2 1.66GHz, 2GB RAM

Driver is working fine, problem was with IOPCIFamily and IONetworkingFamily.
Both appeared as Dependencies Error. I changed it with other versions and everything is OK now.

Thanks.

Update on progress:

1. I managed to find an OS X Intel driver on the Realtek site! Try this link - http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...p;GetDown=false - look at the bottom of the page, under "Others": "MacOS 10.4 on Intel-based Mac computer". Comes with an Installer package!

2. Still not working for me, even with this driver. In fact, I tried enabling the Boot ROM and using the PXE boot trick, but it gives a "Media test failure" error. I'll see if I can find a solution to this.

Ok, I think I got it - I enabled the "Wake on LAN" setting in the Windows driver config. This way, the interface controller comes up after a reboot/powerup and is able to connect. It seems that the OS X driver doesn't activate the interface, so it needs WOL to "help it along".

Worked for me!

MSI 865pe-2 onboard realtek 8100 or something.

I got a non-JaS Mac OS X Vers. and i guess i need JaS to get this to work, aight?

I got a RTL8111 networkscard


Can I use a Radeon X1800 in Mac OS X Tiger btw?

No, you need the DRIVER from the SIG.

About video, yes, you can.

SIG? Dunno what it is I am new to Mac, but used all dists of Linux

He means the link in his signature.

Hi, I just got a D-Link DGE-528T (RTL8169 chipset) as I'm upgrading all my network to gigabit. I've got a dual boot XP/OSX box p4 2.8ghz it has got onboard lan (via rhine which was working ok in osx) which is now disabled in the bios. I've tried everything to get this card working in osx (10.4.8 sse2, kernel 8.8.1) tried the drivers from the cd (following instructions in another thread about making sure the vendor and device id are there) that didnt do anything and now I've tried this driver which gives me an error "unable to allocate pad vm for /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/plugIns/Mach.kext/Mach - (os/kern) no space available" when i try to load it. I'm new to osx and I've probably done something stupid like got too many kexts installed or something but I'm so used to linux where it detects hardware on boot and only loads whats necessary that I've got a bit stuck.

I've got my Realtek chip working on ASUS p5ld2 se (mac os 10.8.4).
Thanks, doooooooooood!!!

DaemonES... i have realtek 8139D and you driver 1.04 but installing and loading drivers is OK.. internet work... but after restart drivers is not loaded and i must "reload" drivers....

please fix it in new version.. or give me link for version 1.03 (this version not have this problem)... thanks

DaemonES,

I just put together a new PC to try out a Hackintosh. The MoBo I'm using is the Mach Speed MS945G-GLV. It has an integrated Realtek RTL 8110SC/8100C NIC. I have Mac OS X 10.4.8 Jas installed with the 8.8.1 semthex kernel. Originally I tried isntalling your 1.02 version of the driver. That seemed to work (NIC was recognized and I was surfing the net), but I started getting the grey screen crash telling me I needed to reboot. I got that version of the driver from http://www.necnet.de/krass.man/Installers/...0Installer.html (so you know exactly which one I used at first). I finally determined that it was in fact the 1.02 driver that was causing my crashes, and so I started reading through these posts. I found the 1.04 version of your driver from Sourceforge.net and installed it. But now the NIC is recognized (I can click on it in System Preferences/Networking - whereas before it was greyed out) but it is not getting a DHCP address, and thus I'm unable to get on the net.

So, knowing that you have requested several times to have logs, I uninstalled the release version and installed the debug version - then using the Console app in /Applications/Utilities I got a copy of the system.log. Here is that file (attached). Hopefully my problem is a simple fix. I have windows installed - and this is the info windows has about this nic....

PCI Slot 4 (PCI bus 1, device 5, function 0)

Driver Provider: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Driver Date: 6/15/2006
Driver Version: 5.649.615.2006
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

Device Instance ID: PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8167&SUBSYS_23041565&REV_10\4&1AF1648C&0&28F0

I/O Range: DE00-DEFF
Memory Range: FDCFF000-FDCFF0FF
IRQ: 20

If you need any more info, just let me know. I'm a programmer (mainly database and web stuff using VB, Realbasic, and Flex) and I know my way around Windows and Mac fairly well - have used both for years. I'm just now learning about Linux, Unix, FreeBSD - so my command line skills in the unix variants is lacking at the moment so please be patient with me on that part.

Thanks,
Chris

PS - I replaced all of the line feed characters in the log file with carriage return/line feed so I can read the file in Notepad on windows.

DaemonES,

I think I got it. I noticed that the logs 'looked' like things were working. So I thought maybe it just wasn't getting an IP address through DHCP. So I tried manually putting in the IP address that Windows has been getting. That didn't work, so I selected Automatic DHCP and clicked Apply. A second later, it got an IP address. I opened Safari, and it was working. So then I unloaded the debug version of the driver and reinstalled the release. Restarted the computer. No connection again. So, I manually put in my Windows IP address - still no luck, but as soon as I re-selected Automatic DHCP - I got a connection and everything appears to be working. I've been connected for several minutes now (writing this post now from Safari) and haven't crashed. So, crossing my fingers, but it looks like your new driver is working great. If I have any problems I'll let you know. No all I've got to get working is my sound, and I'll be finished!!!

DaemonES's driver worked! After trying to get my onboard LAN working (Realtek RTL8100C) and a PCI card (DLink 530TX+ Rev. D2), both no go with orByte's driver. The interface would be recognized but the closest I could get something working would be to ping the router. Everything else was dead and non-responsive. So I went to the store today and bought another NIC.

The card purchased is an AirLink101 AGIGA32PCI. It has a Realtek RTL8169S chip. Did a fresh install of 10.4.8, installed DaemonES 1.04 driver RealtekR1000, rebooted, got permission errors, fixed the permissions, rebooted, got another error message that the IP I put in the setup was already taken (had been trying DHCP (Manual), putting in the router IP). So I set the thing to full DHCP which never worked with the other cards and drivers, and it was like the floodgates opened up. Even though same people say the Linksys WRT54G doesn't like OSX requests for DHCP, I got assigned an IP and DNS immediately. Everything came in and now networking works! Here's my el-cheapo Hackintosh hardware setup:

ECS RS400-A motherboard with on-board ATI graphics: Radeon X300
Pentium 4 630 3.0GHz
512MB PC3200
Seagate PATA HD

and the AirLink card mentioned above. The on-board sound doesn't work (Realtek ALC655), but it's not that important. I would like the bump up the resolution to 1280x1024. But every time I've tried to install omni's callisto drivers the result is a really bad screen on startup, all gray in several languages to turn off the computer, it ain't going to happen. So I give up on the ATI for now, maybe some day I'll try again.... But the LAN WORKS!!!!

Hello!

I have ASUS p5ld2 SE with build-in Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC but network is not working....
I installed RealtekR1000_1.04 .. but in network properties it shows PCI Ethernet Card marked with red and its says, that network cable is not plugged in... Do I need to change/tweak something manually?

Actually before I had a motherboard Asus P5LD2-VM with built-in Intel PRO/1000 .. so I just switched motherboards and OSX boots ok, only there is no network and no sound (before I had Realtek ALC882M but now I have SoundMax)..
So I think, maybe somehow OSX trys to load old drivers for intel built-in netcard? Any help or advice will be useful...

and one more thing: in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
i have:
1) built-in as en0 (but not showing in network properties, only I can see in system profile)
2) PCI Ethernet as en1 (this I can see in network properties, but marked with red and also can see in system profile)
I was trying to change enS, but nothing happens...

Hi,
How can i change my MAC address? I have installed newest driver with instalator.
sudo ifconfig en0 lladdr aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff not working
I could ask my ISP for new MAC... But, I play with BeOS/Haiku OS'es and under those system I use my SIS900 NIC. I can't change MAC under BeOS/Haiku.

JAS 10.4.8

The MAC address cannot be changed, it's unique to each and every NIC.

Usually MAC address can be changed. By typing in terminal:

But unfortunaly it isn't working with that driver... Or maybe OSX kernel is not supporting this?

Hello,
I have the SAME issue!!!! How did you solve it? Is anyone around this board that has suggestion why this happens? I installed the realtek 1.1.1 driver the one from "nicemac" but it did NOT solved the issue. I cannot connect to the web via DSL modem as I get "CHAP authentication failed: Authentication failed" message. Any suggestion, please? Is there something BIOS related?
Gabriele Fontana

You can't.



No it can be, but I don't know how to reflash EEPROM.


You right, driver is not supported this feature, cause lack of info.


OS X issue, sorry.

...sorry, if I well understood I need an external (PCI) network card to connect to the web, is that right or am I wood-brained? :-)
Gabriele

I have a Netgear GA311 which uses Realtek 8169 . My OSX86 setup is JaS 10.4.9 running on Asus P5B deluxe. I was trying to use the GA311 to set up a computer to computer network from my OSX86 desktop to my macbook.

I couldn't get Netgear GA311 working out of the box. But luckily I found Daemon's driver v1.02. The card is now recognized and works. But it only works from time to time.

When it works the speed is great and I get 1000Mb gigabit ethernet. But when it refuses to work, system preferences says the cable isn't plugged in with a red dot. I have tried all kinds of IP setting - from automatic DCHP to full manual. But I still get the same problem.

Interestingly, I have very similar problem in Windows Vista. The card is recognized as a Realtek 8169 card automatically right after Vista is installed. But from time to time Vista says the cable isn't plugged in. But the problem is gone after I downloaded and installed the driver from Netgear for Vista. Now it is working flawlessly in Vista.

Its similar behavior in Vista and OSX86 makes me think that we need some tweak on the general Realtek 8169 driver to make it work for GA311?

Any idea? Anyone has similar problem?

thanks

Can anyo ne here help me, please?

I have a RTL 8111b, but I can't intall it! I didn't find any driver here in this topic, just explanation!

If anyone have the driver, please answer me!

Tks

OMG, kill me.

Will this adapter work http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?...p;sec=0#drivers
DFE-530TX
or the builtin apater in this motherboard? https://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=30697...p;view=detailed
Realtek RTL8201CL

I have tried installing the driver, but non of the adapters seem to work.

i have a realtek 8111b onboard. i HAD this thing runnin 3 months ago. now as i installed new os on same system i cant get it runnin. driver install seems ok. the MAC adress is recognized and i can edit IP and stuff which i did manually as i dont use DHCP on the router. but it says "no cable connected" (like few people in here said already) and with ifconfig -a i can see: inactive. there is also no led activity .... please help me to get this run ... i HAD it runnin but HOW? damn ...

comatron, although you usually manually configure... try letting it automatically configure using DHCP. It seems that a number of others describe problem like yours but were able to connect in that fashion...

i tried that all ... here the real, sick solution



boot windows - device manager - properties of your card - wake on lan ENABLE

end thanx anyways
