Tulip Issues

[tkw722]

Hey people,

 

I've got 10.4.4 up and running on my desktop. I'm trying to get my 3com officeconnect network card working correctly. If I open system profiler I see my network card. However it's not appearing in the network preferences. I know I need to install the tulip driver package for Darwin. I have it downloaded and I have typed "sudo make install" and it seems to have worked. Yet, when I travel to "/system/library/extensions" there is no tulip.kext. I'm doing all of this as root as it instructed. I feel like somehow there is a rights issue going on so it isn't allowing me to write to that directory. But I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas or advice? Thanks everyone!

Here is an update in my toils with Tulip..

 

I had to compile the tulip.kext driver on my real mac in order to get the final tulip.kext file. So here is what happened when I tried to load the kext file using kextload.

 

kextload /System/Library/Extensions/tulip.kext

12darwin_tulip is not compatible with its superclass, 20IOEthernetController superclass changed?

kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/tulip.kext

load failed for extension /System/Library/Extensions/tulip.kext

(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

 

 

Any ideas on what all of that means?? Any help would be great!

I tried make first too. As a Linux/BSD guy I expected it to work too.

 

However, darwin tulip compiles with XCode tools. I've only used the 10.4.3 version and based on others posts there may be issues with 10.4.4 and 10.4.5 versions.

 

This link gives you tulip.kext I originally compiled for 10.4.3. It works for me under 10.4.4 and 10.4.5. The source is on sourceforge; there is a link in the thread if you want to compile for yourself.
