Hey all

 

I have an ASUS P5LD2 board (http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=185&model=515&modelmenu=1)

I just installed Tiger 10.4.1 and updated to 10.4.3, but network is not working, and the hardware is not even detected (Onboard Marvell 88E8053 PCI-E Gb LAN controller).

But can I buy a standard PCI lan adaptor, like a 3COM or D-Link and that will work? If so please tell me what to buy that should work with Tiger 10.4.3

Also is it just plug'n'play or I need to reinstall to make it work?

 

Hans...

A RTL8139 Network card works and they are very cheap brought mine for NZ$14-95 but I know I could of even got cheaper if I spent more time shopping around the kext is included in the IONetworkingFamily.kext in 10.4.3 - for some reason the 10.4.4/5 one doesn't work so you have to use the 10.4.3 thats if you decide to upgrade

 

Another option is to get the IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.4/5 and use that it is suppose to support the 88E8053 Marvell LAN and copy that to your extensions folder.

You should have read and searched that Onboard Marvell 88E8053 PCI-E Gb LAN controller is supported under 10.4.5. The title of your post is confusing as well, is it a sound card or NIC you are asking? Once you upgraded, go to System Pref and network, ethernet to activate the network.
