Marvell Yukon 88E8056?

[DivineEye]

Hey there.

 

I have a Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller and I'm having a reaaaaaally hard time finding this specific driver on this site, since the search option doesn't work for me =P. Do you think one of you guys could point me in the right direction? That would be super!

For the search use Google with site:insanelymac.com as the last search term for the network it is not so much a driver you need as it is that you need to edit a file (Sky2... something) or use already modified version to include your ID for the card in it if I recall correctly.

I'm not sure which computer and Mac OS type you have; however, I have an Asus Z84J laptop with the same Ethernet controller as you with iATKOS 10.5.1. I got mine working by doing some editing, just the right instinct your first replier had. Here's the steps at getting the Ethernet to work.

 

Open the Terminal.

 

Type: sudo nano /system/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

Then type in a password when told to do so.

 

Next: Find this" <key>Yukon-88E8053</key>

 

Replace the 3 with a 6, then

 

Find this: <string>OX436211ab</string>

 

Replace the 2 with a 4, then

 

Find this: <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053 Singleport Copper -SA</string>

 

Replace everything between Copper and </string> with $ (it should look like this: ...Copper$</string>)

 

Press Ctrl-O, then Enter, then Ctrl-X

 

Type: sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext

 

Press Enter, then type: sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

 

Press Enter, then reboot

 

After rebooting, go to System Preferences --> Network, then select the Ethernet connection type; in the Configure drop-down menu, choose Off, then click Apply; then choose Using DHCP from the same drop-down menu, and click Apply. The Ethernet should work; if not, just reboot and then it should work.
