nabxf Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Hi all, Yesterday I got Leopard finally working on my Dell E520 using Kalyway. However, everything worked but sound and internet. I know that the integrated NIC is not compatible because of its Intel origins, so i've been trying a few network cards that i've got lying around in my house. So far i've tried: - D-Link DGE-528T (i read somewhere on this forum that it was compatible with some realtek drivers, but it didn't work for me) - GTS FC-515 (didn't have much hope for this one because it's from 2002) - Generic PC-Line ethernet card (found the os x intel realtek drivers for its chipset, but no luck) - Netgear WG111v2 (again i found realtek drivers for it but it didn't find my wireless router) None of these have worked, so i have decided to bite the bullet and buy an ethernet card for my pc. What I'm looking for is a cheap PCI NIC card which provides good speeds. I live in the UK. I've heard some NIC cards work out of the box without using any kexts, are there any cheap ones like that? Please help, I go back to school on Thursday and need a working internet connection for coursework! Thanks, nabxf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, thank you kennyp, i found one on amazon for £10 free shipping, so i'll probably be getting that. Just one confirmation though, does the GA311 work completely out of the box, or do i need to patch os x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not have to do anything other than plug it in the chipset is Realtek RTL8169S and should work OOB. Good luck Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
