Ok, so I've been trying to get OSX to work with my ethernet, I've got the drivers loaded, but I always get the 'network cable unplugged' message.

 

I can edit all the properties of the network settings i.e. change ip address so on...

 

I'm running the following hardware.

 

GAP35-DS4 Rev 2.0

4GB DDR2 (800MHZ)

Core2Duo 2.44

80GB PATA

Lite-ON SATA DVD/R

8800GTS 320MB

 

I've tried several versions of OSX. I got JaS 10.4.8 loaded and installed the R1000.kext it recognized the hardware but still says cable unplugged. Also loaded kalyways 10.5.2 with the R1000 driver same thing. My cousin has the same hardware but MB Rev 2.1 and his works like a charm on both OSX versions? Maybe a bios update will help? I'm at a loss any help is much appreciated.

Just a quick note. I loaded the F8 version of the bios for my board same thing. Also tried updating to the newest F12, still no help. It's like the driver never 'tells' the card to turn on, the lights never come on where the cable plugs in, or on my router.

i think i had a similar problem when i first installed it, i'm now using AppleRTL8169Ethernet, at the cost of bonjour, but i think the trick was with the R1000 to have the network cable plugged in before you boot, it doesn't recognize it after you boot and then plug the cable in
