Dell Vostro 400 built in Intel 82562v-2

[firstmac]

Hi Everyone,

 

I managed to setup Kalyway 10.5.2 on my Dell Vostro 400, fix the audio, and install the 10.5.3, now the last part will be the Network Card.

 

I tried the solution Time Ed provided:

 

1. cd to System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/

2. add this: 0x27dc8086 to the <string> line below <key>IOPCIMatch</key> in Info.plist

3. cd back to System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext and move or rename AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext

4. delete Extensions.mkexts from System/Library and rebuild kext cache (kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/)

5. repair permissions and reboot

 

After reboot, I check the Network, and add location, hit plus with a name, try to click "Done" button, and Box won't close, and stay there... kind of strange to me... Somehow, I may just go get the Netgear FA311 with realtek 8139D chipset where someone mentioned works:

my questions is:

 

1) what's the procedure after i plug in the new network card? is it just simple as "plug and play"?

2) or I bet I need do some "coding"?

 

Other question:

 

after applied the 10.5.3 combo updates, I found out that it is not quite stable on the screen saver... it won't preview the screensaver when I changed different ones... and I also got errors saying, e.g: flurry can't not be loaded

 

Thanks in advance.

Edited 6-27-2008: Got a old realtek 8139C chipset nic from an 10 years old PC(Dell Dimension 4100), plug it in and wait a while, detected Ethernet! Internet WORKS!... going to reinstalling 10.5.2 and see if Time machine are working( may be the format has to be GUID? instead of MBR?); gonna check if the screensaver will work fine before the 10.5.3 updates as well..

 

P.S.: I cannot go to insanelymac.com, and osx86project.org this afternoon.. something goes wrong?

Once again Thanks Time Ed
