thesog Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Throw in a NIC with a supported chip or find out if your onboard NIC uses a supported chip and add its PCI vendor/device ID to the appropriate kext. I'm not too familiar with your motherboard but from what I can find on the net, it looks like AppleYukon.kext may work for you.

miliuco Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 AppleYukon.kext is included into IONetworkingFamily.kext. The 10.4.3 version of IONetworkingFamily.kext is able to activate some Marvell Yukon network cards. If you have installed the 10.4.3, try this: - if root isn't activated yet, activate him; open Terminal and write: % dsenableroot -u user where user is your current administrator account; enter your current password and the password for root: - configure the IONetworkingFamily.kext file: chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions cd /System/Library/Extensions kextload IONetworkingFamily.kext - reboot - repair permissions If you can read spanish texts, here there's some comments about this: miliuco Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13082-network-help/#findComment-83232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

miliuco Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Terminal is in the folder Applications > Utilities When you need to find an application in OSX, look for it in that folders.

gian Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 I tryed those what u said, but when i do Dsenableroot -u myusername it ask for my password, i enter it, then it ask for root password, i intered the same pw for my other account, then it asked to verify, then it says successfuly root enabled or something. then i do the first command the chmod one, and it does a lot of stuff, but at the end of each one, it just says permision denied. then i do the second command and it just ask's for a new command, then i do the cd and it changes directories, then i do the kextload, and it says i have to have root enabled to do that to the kernal.....AHHHH THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13082-network-help/#findComment-83697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 It seems that root isn't enabled yet, try the other method to enable it: - Login to MacOS X as administrator (first user created during first installation of MacOS X is always administrator, however, not root). - Open Application -> Utilities -> NetInfo Manager. - Choose Enable Root User from the Security menu. - If you have not previously set a root password, an alert box may appear indicating that the password is blank. Click OK. - Enter the root password you wish to use and click Set. - The root user is now enabled. - Now you can login as root. Other method to enable root: the simplest way is: - Open terminal and run -> sudo passwd root - You will be asked for administration password, and then you can define root new password.

thesog Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 You shouldn't have to enable root user. Just prepend "sudo" in front of those command to execute as root using your normal "Computer Administrator" account. For example: sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions It should only ask for your password once per terminal session.

miliuco Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 But root has more privileges (really all privileges) than any other user and for some tasks it's necessary to be root. The sudo utility only allows to take the personality of (to act as) other user. Sudo allows users to have temporary access to run commands they would not normally be able to due to file permission restrictions. The commands can be run as user "root" or as any other user defined in the configuration files. Why needs anybody to act as himself by entering his own password?

miliuco Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Some Marvell chips run using AppleYukon.kext included into IONetworkingFamily.kext but other people says that they aren't able to activate other Marvell Ethernet onboard chips. Anyway, you must have the IONetworkingFamily.kext file from a 10.4.3 system in your Extensions folder and configure its permissions with the above commands and this last task only can be made by the root super user. If you logg out and logg in, there is 2 users to choice and one of them is System Administrator (root)? Can you logg in as root in the graphic mode by entering the password root previously created?
