technolion Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Since my onboard NForce4 and Yukon Cards are not supported (yet) I want to buy an additional Network card. Can anybody tell me which card works without having to copy over IONetworking.kext? If I buy a new one, would be nice to get one that is supported by stock MacOS 10.4.5.

Getz Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Salut! Perso j'ai opté pour la Trust Nw-1100 (9,90 euros). Au début je galerais pour la faire reconnaitre sous 10.4.3 et en changeant tout simplement de port pci ca a fonctionné nickel ! Bonne continuation Oups! I thought i was in the french forum section! Lol So has i previously explained, i bought a Trust NW-1100 Pci network adapter (100mb) based on realtek chipset. It was not recognized by 10.4.3 so i just moved it to another pci port and ... it worked very nice! Good luck !

SMcA Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yukon is supported in 10.4.4. Copy the Yukon kext inside the 10.4.4 version of IONetworkingFamily.kext to your current IONetworkingFamily.kext and it should work. Very important: do not replace the entire IONetworkingFamily.kext - only copy the Yukon kext file. IONetworkingFamily.kext is a folder/directory.

technolion Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Can you please tell me which EXACT cards are supported WITHOUT having to copy/move etc kexts. I have an onboard Yukon Card which does NOT work (even not when renaming the ID in the Yukon.kext).

SMcA Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 After adding the device/vendor ID, delete Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext and restart your computer. That should make it work. If you really want to buy a new NIC, I would suggest the Netgear FA311 and the D-Link DFE 538TX. I got both working under OSX86 without any hacks.

technolion Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yukon is supported in 10.4.4.

Very important: do not replace the entire IONetworkingFamily.kext - only copy the Yukon kext file. IONetworkingFamily.kext is a folder/directory. If I use the 10.4.4 version of AppleYukon.kext inside IONetworkingFamily.kext of 10.4.5 I get kextload failed (not a bundle) if I try to kextload it. If I use the 10.4.5 version of AppleYukon.kext inside IONetworkingFamily.kext of 10.4.5 I can kextload it, the Ethernet card is being displayed in the Network preferences, but it simply does not funtion (no network traffic possible). Any ideas about the not-a-bundle error? By the way, Windows lists my onboard Yukon NIC as a 'Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller' Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10364-which-network-card-to-buy/#findComment-65612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcA Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 In the 10.4.4 HCL, the note on Marvell Yukon says Used AppleYukon.kext from IONetworkingFamily.kext modified plist with id 435111AB. Have to manually select speed as it is for gigibit card, but this is only a 10/100 nic. Otherwise works great. Posted from 10.4.4 AMD Mobile Athlon64 3700+ with proper patches. Does not load on startup, must manually load driver with: cd /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ kextload AppleYukon.kext Give that a shot and see if it works. Also, in the Windows Device Manager, note down the Device ID and Vemdor ID of the NIC and add it to AppleYukon.kext if it is not already in there. And as always, after modifying any kext file, delete Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext and restart OSX86. And for the error message... did you put AppleYukon.kext in IONetworkingFamily.kext/ or IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ ?

technolion Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 In the 10.4.4 HCL, the note on Marvell Yukon says Give that a shot and see if it works. UNfortunately it does not work. Either a error "not a bundle", or no error, but NIC is not functioning. Also, in the Windows Device Manager, note down the Device ID and Vemdor ID of the NIC and add it to AppleYukon.kext if it is not already in there. Yes, I did. My ID is 0x432011AB. And for the error message... did you put AppleYukon.kext in IONetworkingFamily.kext/ or IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ ? Into IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ Is that correct? Thanks for your help so far. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10364-which-network-card-to-buy/#findComment-65763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcA Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Copy AppleYukon.kext to IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/. That's where it belongs.
