machead5678 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi, I have tried many drivers and nothing will work for the Realtek RTL8201CL LAN Controller. I am running 10.5.1. Please Respond! Machead. PS: As far as I know this Realtek product uses VIA Rhine Drivers.

Skyper Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Try downloading this driver: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hdckvv Scroll down and you will find the download link right under the google ads (with a red arrow pointing at it). After downloading it and extracting the file you will see a directory containing a couple of files, one of them is a kext file (actually a directory). Just copy the kext to /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns If you dont know here is the instructions: Start a terminal and go to the location where you downloaded and extracted the downloaded file, enter the directory that was unpacked and do the following: sudo cp -rf PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext Now you only need to reboot.

Zero0Fusion Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 the PCGenULi526XEthernet driver works for a little bit and then I get kernel panics, so I have to disable my internal ethernet in the bios to get it to boot up.. Not sure why it's only happening to me.. Using Leo4All v3, 9.2.0 kernel, and an ASRock 939Dual-Sata2 motherboard.. EDIT: After a lot of troubleshooting, and looking at the kernel panic log (I'm new to this) I found out that somehow my serial port was making it so when the ethernet AND serial port were enabled, it caused kernal panics. Disabling the serial port made this stop. Anyone know how to make it so I can re-enable my serial port?(it's only really relevant to some hardware I have in windows, kind of a pain to have to turn it off and on when switching OSes) Something must be causing this.. edit: Nevermind.. It worked for about 5 boots but then went back to the same kernel panic.. I'm about ready to give up on this one.. Tried everything, different ways to install it, bios settings, settings in the plist file.. Trying to play with the dependencies etc. Nothing works. It's weird how sometimes it starts up flawlessly, and the next boot it panics.. I don't get it.
