Abit ic7-g with built-in intel pro 1000 ct adapter not functioning

[Cyrus85]

Hi i was just wondering if anyone out there has installed osx on a abit ic7-g mobo with built-in intel pro 1000 ct lan and gotten it to work. I installed 10.4.3 first and found that the built-in ethernet is found in the network tab of osx but is greyed out. I have been on the comptability list in the osx wiki and found that it is supported. I dont know if this is a typo on there or not but if anyone has this mobo and has had luck with it working i would appreciate it if you can tell me how u got it to work.

 

please post soon

thanks

I've got an ic7-G and haven't had any problems with networking either in vmware or booting native. I'm running 10.4.3 atm since I don't have a copy of the 10.4.5 DVD yet. Everything else works fine as well except the added Silicon Image SATA and some minor sound stuttering but I expect that's due to the SSE emulation speed issues. I think my network adapter might have been greyed out the first time I booted as well but after messing around with the Network Preferences and a kextcache clear I got it working. Unfortunately I don't remember the exact procedure but I remember it wasn't too difficult.

Your lucky you got to that far, my ic7 g is rock solid in windows, but crashes when trying to install off the patched 10.4.3 dvd. What technique did you use?

 

I am running well on an Acer aspire 3610 laptop (albeit external monitor at the moment), and a fujitsu lifebook 1020. Can wait to set up my company Dell D600, and hand it in to MIS saying "somethings changed with my set up, can you get it back". :-)
