Razlor Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hello, i have been trying to find out how to get Bonjour working with the vanilla 8169 kext. The interesting thing is, that, when i boot the installation the first time using elastics boot-132 ISO (which contains a patched IONetworkingFamily.kext and RealtekR1000, the latter providing en0), Bonjour works even if i don't use any network related kexts later on. (the only extensions i use after the first boot are Disabler, AppleDecrypt and the Intel PX II Ata extensions). If i install those kernel extensions right away and boot with them and chameleon + modified boot-132 for the first time, Bonjour does not work. If i use the EFI string with the aforementioned extensions at first boot, Bonjour does not work. If i delete com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist, Bonjour works. So i suspect that the problem is somewhere within the domains of UUID generation and Kerberos, but i am really not that deep into that matter. Perhaps someone with a little more knowledge could provide some hints here.

Razlor Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 ## This will not work, it was just coincidence ## In the network preferences pane, rename the service belonging to the NIC to "Ethernet". Reboot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120679-on-bonjour-with-rtl8111-and-vanilla-kext/#findComment-867179 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razlor Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ok this will not work when 10.5.4 and SecUpdate 2008-05 are installed beforehand. I will not experiment anymore, i am fed up with OS X and its shortcomings in general. Perhaps someone else can diff two installations with the "fix" applied before and after installation of 10.5.4 and SecUpdate 2008-05. For me, it is back to Gentoo. Have fun. ;-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120679-on-bonjour-with-rtl8111-and-vanilla-kext/#findComment-870383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DvTonder Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 This may be a silly question but which kext is the "with the vanilla 8169 kext" - is it the RTGMAC2.0 package available from the realtec website or am I missing something? I am running the RealtecR1000.kext driver and it works for me except that this driver seems to be very slow at some things (e.g. printing to my network printer takes 2 - 5 minutes per page in MacOS vs. seconds in Vista) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120679-on-bonjour-with-rtl8111-and-vanilla-kext/#findComment-904479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
