Over in this thread I posted up the details on my current system. This motherboard has 2 onboard Intel 82575 EB Gigabit Lan adaptoers. I found one other thread where the poster had the 82575 and mentioned he 'fixed' his issues by getting a separate PCI NIC card, but I'd rather avoid that myself since I've already got 2 good Lan ports onboard. The device id in windows shows:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A7&SUBSYS_10A715D9&REV_02\4&187919FE&0&00E0
which means in the .plist the correct string would be 0x10A78086. For my previous Intel NICs I've gotten them to work by editing IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/Info.plist and adding their device id's, but that didn't work this time. So...
any ideas?
