bballs91 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hey I recently installed Kalyway 10.5.2 and everything works great except my network adapter is not supported. I've searched around and found only forcedeth kexts which were for nForce 4 or below. Anyone get this working yet?

Hagar Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 depends what your NIC chip is.. if it's nforce then afaik forcedeth is the only option... if it's something else, find a driver for that.

bballs91 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 alright I tried the forcedeth kexts and my network adapter's light just went out and i couldn't even assign a manual IP anymore, it just seemed to completely shut off.

verdant Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 alright I tried the forcedeth kexts and my network adapter's light just went out and i couldn't even assign a manual IP anymore, it just seemed to completely shut off. If you have an nForce chipset MOBO like your MOBO with the nForce 570 SLI Chipset then your on-board LAN will not work properly under OS X....Get hold of a Realtek chipset based PCI Netwok Card i.e. RTL8168, RTL8111, RTL8169, RTL8101 chipset card....check card specs before buying....depending on the card used it may just work out of the box with the already installed drivers in OS X... See http://sourceforge.net/projects/realtekr1000/ for the R1000, which is an opensource driver for network controllers RTL8168, RTL8111, RTL8169, RTL8101 and some others modification for Mac OSX. It is based on Realtek's driver for Linux but is not supported by Realtek. Also see http://www.psystar.com/realtek_r1000_driver.html Psystar have released a modded driver based on R1000 claimed by them to enhance the interrupt handling and link detection for these NICS: RTL8168, RTL8111, RTL8169, RTL8101. Other options are from here.... + Linksys WUSB54GC (reported OK) there are official drivers for this + Netgear WG111V3 wireless card (My suggestion) (there are official drivers for this) + Apple USB to Ethernet (reported OK) works OTB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122583-nforce-650i-network-adapter-help/#findComment-868955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
