Thanks SO MUCH for the driver. The F*cking RTL8139 driver was driving me nuts breaking down under heavy network load. THANKS!

I read in another thread that you can restore network connectivity after sleep by unloading an re-loading the kernel extension.

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AttansicL1Ethernet.kext
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AttansicL1Ethernet.kext

You will have to do this every time you loose network connectivity after waking up from sleep. It worked for me but I hope this can be fixed in a future release of the driver.

Im a bit noob at this whole OSx86 thing, but how would I go about installing this kext, where would I have to put the files, and in what method, terminal, and what code would I need to put in the terminal.

For me with P5KC integrated LAN works perfectly

asus p5kr lan work!!! no wake up

Thanks for your hard work DaemonES and MadInt, and all the testers for getting the Attansic driver to work. The installer worked great, this is a first for me on a mac but reading these instructions for three days really explained the basics to me. ASUS P5L-VM 1394, the LAN worked now thanks to the driver package provided.

I second the idea to provide a link to the package on the first post instead of finding it on page 18 post 342. That was a lot of posts to read.

Same here as classicmac. After sleep network doesn't work. Unload and reload the kext solves the problem. Would be nice if this could be fixed in a future release. But I'm glad that the driver works!

Thank you!!!!!

Just want to say AWESOME work You made this man very happy! My hackintosh leopard install is now perfect!

this works for me, however it would be nice if someone knew how to create a simple script to run these commands. I'm a bit of a noob with that kind of stuff. I tried to use Automator but didn't quite understand it. It's not as simple as telling it the command lines you want to run. Anyone want to create a script for those two commands?

You can easily do it.
By using SleepWatcher, who monitor Mac's sleep and wakeup activity.
Then, SleepWatcher will execute sleep/wakeup scripts.

You have a live example who show you how to dismount devices when going to sleep.
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...080329201951648

Then, you just have to put following lines in scripts:

In .sleep:
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AttansicL1Ethernet.kext

In .wakeup:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AttansicL1Ethernet.kext


Hope this help.

BTW, you have to autorize kextload and kextunload in sudoers file.

You easily do it that way:
1. Open a shell command
2. sudo visudo
3. Append following lines at the end of file:
%users localhost=/sbin/kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AttansicL1Ethernet.kext
%users localhost=/sbin/kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AttansicL1Ethernet.kext
4.Write/quit

That's it!

Hi I am having trouble with the Attansic L1 Driver, is this still experimental? It does not work at all for me.
Motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-CM
Installation: Vanilla Leopard (10.5.4) With EFI.
Ethernet: Attansic L1 (On Board)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz
Other kexts installed: NVInject, dsmos, ACPIPS2Nub, SMBIOSEnabler, IntelCPUPMDisabler

Is that more than enough information to help you?

Try the new version! Grab the installer

Hello to All,
I have just been setting up my first hackintosh and it's been fun so far.
One by one, all my devices are starting to work.

My LAN Card was the last one I worked on (since I have a cheap Realtek card lying around).

I read this thread from post #1 and it's like a suspense thriller. I'm happy that it ended very well. :-)

DaemonES and company, my sincerest thanks to all of you.

Jim, thanks for the package. It's working flawlessly. :-)

I will now remove my PCI Realtek Card and use this built-in Attansic Card for this build.

Congratulations and more power!

I did use the newest version with the installer, but no success

Well, what instalation method did you use

Probably you have to update your IONetworkingFamily.kext

Otherwise it should work just fine, post your configuration here plz!

Install method: Boot-132 disc (Or, EFI emulation)
Retail disk, i.e Vanilla kernel. Installed combo update to 10.5.4 via Software update.
EFI works
M/board: ASUS P5KPL-CM
SATA works out of box,
IDE is not working yet, but I'll work it out later. Have not touched it yet.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz
Graphics card: MSI NX6600 (Gforce4 NVidia). Patched using Natit.kext and QE works.
Sound: Currently using Logitech USB headset (works out of box). On board does not work yet.
Ethernet: Using Realtek at the moment which worked out of box, but the on board Attansic L1 does not work. Attempted to install using the latest script and it said it did something but it did not.
PIONEER DVD-RW: works out of box.
Sleep: Not tested.

I tried using Attansic L1 Ethernet.pkg but had no success, and I tried an older version with just the kext and that did not work either.
Is the IONetworkingFamily.kext update a mac update, or a hacked file?

AzN_DJ.

Hey MadINt, You're the man..
Thx u so much

If you installed the retail version, you need to update the IONetworkingFamily.kext , here is the new package!

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=31745

Hi Everybody, need some help here:

I have an asus p5q with p45 chipset, and attansic l1e; I have tried out the newest pkg,
but nothing happend, nor the new item has shown in network preferences.

Later, I have ran the installrelease.sh with the following output:

file attribute adjusting for AttansicL1Ethernet.kext
Password:
extension AttansicL1Ethernet.kext has potential problems:
Warnings
{
"Kext has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style" = true
}

kextload: extension AttansicL1Ethernet.kext appears to be loadable
kextload: AttansicL1Ethernet.kext loaded successfully

I do not understand this warning, and even the output said the kext has been loaded,
there is nothing in the network pref.

Any Idea?

Attansic L1 Ethernet Kext & IONetworkingFamily Update for Leopard Retail DVD Instalation Method
This pkg includes a simple script for bringing back the Attansic L1 NIC after sleep: Type " attansic " in the terminal
This instalation is destined to the MAC OS X 10.5.4 update, therefore it is necessary to update to the 10.5.4 version before installing this package!
If you you have installed from retail DVD you will need this package!

Esta atualização é destinada ao MAC OS X Leopard 10.5.4, portanto é necessário atualizar para a versão 10.5.4 antes de instalar este pacote!
Se você instalou do DVD original você vai precisar deste pacote!


Huge thanks to DaemonES & MadInt

Hi,
First, thanks for to DaemonES, MadInt and Jimmy Mallman: that's some great work.
I have the same problem as drLB: the Attansic L1 driver doesn't work on an ASUS P5Q, which contains an Attansic L1E integrated NIC (vendor ID: 1969, card ID: 1026). After installing the (very) convenient package, I modified the Info.plist file and added 0x10261969 to the IOCPIMatch entry, and rebooted. I got the following message in the /var/log/system.log:

[AttansicL1Ethernet] Error: Mac address through SPI is invalid
AttansicL1Ethernet: Ethernet address 00:22:15:0e:e5:40

and the card isn't accessible.
I'd love to help debug this issue, but I don't have access to the source code. Any chance of having a look at it?
Thanks.

Hi, the errors you´ve got are common, if you´ve got them, it is working, or almost, the Attansic L1e Ethernet is a bit different from the original, but it should work with some mod

I have an ASUS P5E-VM HDMI with an Atheros L1 network card. I heard from a friend that the Attansic L1 driver will work for it. Is this correct? I apologize if this has already been asked.

Hi, Attansic has been acquired by Atheros, so you may try using the driver, try adding the vendor id to the Info.plist

more info here http://www.atheros.com/news/attansic_cmpt.html

Jimmy,
Thanks for the info, but what mod/work remains to be done is unclear to me?
If I can get the project files, I'm happy to debug and patch it for this controller. Any chance of getting access to it?
Thanks.

Thx a lot for the hard work of DaemonES and MadInt!
I'll try out if it works.

Yes I would like to try anything you come up with. I have P5K Prem & P5B Plus Which i think could be very similar to P5B-E, as HCL 10.5.x Points P5K Users to Attansic xx

Just want to say Thanks.

Thank you very much DaemonES & MadInt.

I'm a new OSX86 user from Thailand.

at last the working driver!!! ive waited veeeery long for this!!

I'm a willing guinea pig for this patch. I've got a Asus P5QL-E, which also has the Atheros/Attansic L1e.

Works great with PC2 and PC6 in signature; don't connect with motherboard P5KPL-VM.
Thanks.

Thank you very much for your nice work.
Successfully installed on P5E VM - HDMI.

Not to sound like a total ass...but is anyone gonna work on the L2 driver now? or is there some way to get this to work with it?

HI GUYS!!!
I'm from Italy and want to THANKS A LOT all the guys that have the patience....and the brain for develop this driver..i'm a good hardware assembler but is the first time i use an Hackintosh and Leopard,great OS but i need time for change and learn about this..
So..i have a P5K,CORE2DUO E6550 @ 3,1ghz and a nvidia 8600gt, use a lanconnections 4 the net because(oh,yeah,in 2008 is ridiculous)in my town there's NO DSL SERVICE...so if i don't have the lan driver have no connection...now i'm in search for the lifecam vx1000 driver,i try with MACAM0.92 but the cam not work fine....4the video i've used the Punk 92 nvidia installer or the package in the kalyway dvd,seems to be good but only see 256mb of ram instead the graphic card and not 512..there's something better?

Works great on a P5K ! Thanks a lot for this useful driver

Hey, I got the Attansic L1 to work but I'm still having issues after sleep. The latest file, will it work with the 10.5.2 file without doing the 10.5.4 update?? Everytime I try to do the update, my computer freezes up on me.

Any ideas as to how I can keep the network card active during sleep?

I changed the IOCPIMatch entry, like FFB73 to card ID: 1026 in the plist of the kext. Now at least the card will be recognized in the System Preferences! Using DHCP a self assigned IP Address is also there, but I tried file sharing between a Macbook or getting to the the internet through Ethernet. Nothing happens.

I can't connect to any of it. Usually Internet and file sharing do well with other computers, so...

What could I try next?


I got a ASUS P5Q Pro motherboard.
As for the driver the Atheros L1e on Windows is used. Oh, on Windows it just works by the way.

The LSPCI Scan says for vendor etc.:
Ethernet controller [0200]: Attansic Technology Corp. Unknown device [1969:1026] (rev b2)

Hello,

I have an Asus Eee 1000H with an Atheros LAN. So I tried this experiment and it almost worked I think because I see the correct MAC address inside Leopard. The strange thing in that the Atheros LAN card shows up in the 'Airport' entry which is not correct because that's for WLAN. (See attached pic1)


Here what I did. From "P5KFamily.zip" I extracted the 'AttansicL1Ethernet.kext" folder then edited the Vendor and Device Id in the "Info.plist" to match what Windows XP says about the Atheros Lan card: Vendor(1969) Device(1026)

XP's device manage say: "Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller" (See attached pic3)

Suse's Hardware Information says: "Attansic Ethernet controller" (See attached pic2)

Perhaps DamonEs et al could take it look and get a working LAN driver for the Eee 1000H also. Many 1000H ownners could really benefit from this effort. I'd really appreciate it !!!

With a little more digging, I stumble upon the linux patch anouncement for the Atheros L1E inside the Eee 1000H.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linu...h_string=atl1e;

So I gathered that Atheros L1 and Atheros L1E are different enough devices. This would explain why my hack with an L1 kext almost worked.

Does anyone have a working kext for an Atheros L1E?

Hi,
I have an ASUS P5Q PRO who came with an Atheros L1E card
I modify the Info.plist file
from <string>0x10481969 0x816810ec</string>
to <string>0x10261969 0x816810ec</string>
So now the card is detected but still don't work
I have this log during the boot :
[AttansicL1Ethernet] Error: Mac address through SPI is invalid
Should I have to modify something else to make the card working ?

Vincent

i tiret with Attansic Gigabit Ethernet , get a new card realtek 8139 but it work in win and not connect in leo ( kw 10.5.2) what we do now???

Thanks all guys.
Iam a Mac OSX newbie, come from VietNam. I have searched for my network card-onboard driver for a long time. And now, it works very well on my P5K SE Mainboard.
You did a great work.
Way to go and good luck to alls.
Thanks.

Hi - first post (and I feel like a bit of a tool, but...).

I'm having problems getting eth to work. I have the P5K SE, on 10.5.2, which judging by what people are saying *will* work.

I'm using the AttansicL1Ethernet.zip fro mpost #307 in this thread, followed the instructions in #310 (navigate where to new version???), with no obvious errors other than that. No errors from the shell scripts.

Still nothing in system.log about ethernet working, no extra ports (en0, etc) in ifconfig -a. Have I missed a simpler way to do this, or is there a guide I've overlooked?

Thanks in advance!
N.......

IT WILL...
using the lattest PKG, type attansic under terminal, and your net should be working again!

Thanks for your hard work on the driver! I removed my realtek PCI Ethernet card and installed the new PK5 family package and all seemed to be fine. Pretty fast network connection and no problem with internet. Then I launched Logic Pro. Everything worked perfectly until I opened a waves plugin. No licens found! ( You have authorizations on an ilok). What!!! Ilok broken I thought, checked my other ilok plugins, Antares AutoTune 5 and EastWest play engine, no problem. Checked on my Macbook if there was a problem with my ilok waves licenses. No problem. After hours of troublesearching I disabled the onboard LAN in BIOS ( aka Attansic L1 ethernet card). Still no Waves plugins working. Installed my Realtek Ethernet card again. Yes! Waves plugins back in buisness. What I can see the Waves plugins need a working Ethernet card to be in your computer and for some reason the Attansic L1 driver won´t report a good status report to them. I couldn´t run without EthernetCard,nor with Attansic, only with the old trust realtek card. Suggestions?

Guys, did anyone get it to work on Asus F5R laptop?

Any update/success on the P5Q?

Why can't i open this attachment?

I need this. Thanks!
