my computer has a marvell yukon network in it that isnt compadable with osx so i bought a realtek 8139d cause i read on here its suppsoed to work. i pop it in and os x 10.4.3 doesnt recongnize it, i try disabling the marvell in the bios, i tried reinstalling os x, i tried switching pci slots, NOTHING, im going out of my mind here. does anyone have any ideas.

Hi. I have an 8139 working here. Maybe you must edit the Info.plist in AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext in IONetworkingFamily.kext to match your cards vendor and device ids.

It contains

<string>0x813910ec 0x13001186 0x12111113</string>

and those are working for my card.

Just an idea...

cu

thanks for the reply, but i think my card might be defective, i tried installing it in windows xp and windows refuses to install any drivers for the thing.

Edit: nvm found it

Im having the same problem.

But I don't find the AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext under /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext. I just see there a dir called Contents there!

have I to create the AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext dir under /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext and put there a Info.plist with <string>0x813910ec 0x13001186 0x12111113</string> ??
Please help dudes!
Thanks :-)

I found the Info.plist, but I have the same strings files.
