I've tried almost everything to try to get the Marvell Yukon driver to work - I've tried at least five or six different things, even though I think that some of them that I hit were Tiger-[only]. Either way, I've tried a lot in replacing the kext, editing it, and fixing permissions with it and none of them worked.

 

Also, I've tried to find a driver for the Intel 3945, but I just realized that they don't have anything for this yet. Any workarounds available though?

 

Thanks to anyone that can help with either of these.

Same network and wifi cards. I have tried everything they suggested so far with several different distros, but no luck. I can get it to sort of recognize my ethernet (it appears in Network in System Preferences), but ifconfig doesn't even see it. You could try Kalyway 10.5.2 and do the standard plist edit and see if you can get functionality out of it.

 

UPDATE: Hey, I got it to work. You want to use AppleYukon not AppleYukon2. Edit the plist in /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleYukon.kext/Contents/info.plist to

Fix the preferences in the Disk Utility.

 

Then go to terminal and:

 

sudo -s

cd /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins

chown -R root:wheel AppleYukon.kext

chmod -R 755 AppleYukon.kext

kextload AppleYukon.kext

 

A popup should appear telling you that a new Network interface was detected. It should work. You may want to repair the preferences in Disk Utility again. Some people also suggest deleting the Extensions.mkext file, you can do that too, it wont hurt.

 

Hope you can get it to work, best of luck.

Ok aparently I am doing something wrong. I type in all the Sudo commands. And when I get to changing ownership...I get this:

 

 

Password:

matt-palmers-mac-pro:desktop mattpalmer$ chown -R root:wheel AppleYukon.kext

chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents/Info.plist: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleYukon: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents/MacOS: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents/version.plist: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleYukon.kext/Contents: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleYukon.kext: Operation not permitted

 

What am I doing wrong? Any thoughts?

After sudo -s you should type in your password and the enter the bash shell. You instead of "matt-palmers-mac-pro:desktop mattpalmer$" you should see "bash-3.2#." If that does not work, then you are typing in something wrong.

thank you so much for giving making me surf the web on my hackintosh. It work out very well and very easy to understand even for a macosx noob like me. Thank you

 

Edit: After a reboot it didnt work anymore :) But then I did the "kextload" thing again and made it work again. What did I do wrong? I do not want to load that kext on every boot manually.

 

Edit2: After one more reboot it works just fine again. :D

first post....i'm having problems with my marv. yukon 8309... I think I've tried everything. Finally i got the message that my ethernet device had been recognized so i went to network preferences, but the the location area was empty and in network diagnostics ethernet its shown as failed.

 

I've rebooted and repaired permissions countless times.. Am i missing something???

 

Thanks

 

edit: I also took Memorial's advice of deleting extensions.mkext file and that didnt help...

Be sure that you are loading my kext, not an original one that is in the IONetworking Family plug-ins.

 

 

I'm really sorry to be more another pain-in-the-ass Noob, but i've really been trying, I swear!

 

I loaded 4.8 on my Acer 3680 and its been working great apart from Ethernet, and Sound. right now im working on the ethernet.

 

So I've downloaded your .kext and have replaced it in the plugins folder. I then opened Terminal and have almost NO idea what to do. (i just figured out how to type in "sudo -s" and then enter my invisible password (that took a while, lol) but now your messages are going on about editing and chmods and other advanced terminal applications.

 

So All Im asking for is a simple Walk-me-through of the exact steps... spelled out so a complete noob can understand... if thats not toooo much to ask for, This would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

I've try to reboot with -s and to this again but nothing...

 

What can I do to have my intel?

This is for the ethernet driver, not the wireless.

 

For everyone else, make sure that you load the right driver and hit apply in the System Preferences Networking panel (otherwise the OS will forget that interface). If you can't hit apply, change something, change it back, then hit apply.
