Hi,

I'm in the same boat with an Abit NFM2 which also has a Realtek RTL8211BL.

 

Since it's an nforce chipset, you need to start with the forcedeth network drivers.

It's an option on the Kalyway install under network drivers.

 

Or do a search for forcedeth and get the latest one.

 

While the board may use a marvel or realtek ethernet chip for the physical connection, there is still a nvidia layer to go through.

 

There's no guarantee that the forcedeth kext will work stable (or at all) and I'm seeing most folks just install a supported nic adapter instead of using the onboard one.

 

I'm giving it a shot though and still working it out for my board.

Give it a try.

I have the same issue as rtl2news:

 

I got no ethernet, audio,..

 

gfx works fine (8800 GTS)!

I'm on the same MBO , GA-M56S-S3

 

I'll look into forcedeth kext,

Bump!

 

I'm also having the same issues, I installed Kalyway, I've got everything working but the next, I tried forcedeth but to no avail!

 

Has someone kept up with this device?/
