Hhaannaahh Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hey I have an attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet Controller in my computer (incorporated in my ASUS P5K). I have downloaded the right driver (the one linked in the wiki, i.e. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=25427). When I unzip the file, I have several files ending in *.cpp, *.sh, etc. I just don't know what I have to do with such files in order to install the driver. I have tried to copy paste some of them to a terminal, that doesn't work.. On the Apple wiki they say to use a .dmg file to install printer driver, but I can't find any in the driver I downloaded. Any help? Thank you very much! P.S.: I do have searched a lot of time on how to install a driver on OS X (more precisely Kalyway 10.5.2), but I didn't find anything. I also have a sound driver to install (also found it, "Audio: Using onboard with ALC883 installer ")..

Hhaannaahh Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 I did find how to install the Attansic driver: I just opened it with KextHelper. The installation went just fine, but my network chipset is not recognized.. :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135471-how-to-install-a-driver-other-hardware-recognition-problems/#findComment-959921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhaannaahh Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 It's me again.. I still can't install any of the drivers. I have tried Rammjet's How To in order to get the sound working, but to no avail.. Here is my hardware, anyone can help? Mobo: Asus P5K -- on it, Realtek ALC883 @ Intel 82801IB ICH9 - High Definition Audio Controller -- on it, Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T-Controller Proc: Intel E6750 RAM: 2 Go Corsair etc etc Those values come from Everest, so they must be good.. Thank you in advance : ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135471-how-to-install-a-driver-other-hardware-recognition-problems/#findComment-959963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhaannaahh Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 I finally made my Ethernet port work, thanks to Daemon's driver.

Hhaannaahh Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Okay thanks for the info I'll go on searching for a working sound driver then Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135471-how-to-install-a-driver-other-hardware-recognition-problems/#findComment-960178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhaannaahh Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well I finally managed to install the sound, thanks to Taruga's patcher and some linux codec dump found on the forum Thanks a lot for the help this community gave me I have realized my USB ports don't work (keyboards and mouse work just fine, my USB stick not.. :/), nor is my DVD Player (IDE dvd player/recorder (Pioneer DVR-112D)) so I'm not done yet struggling Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135471-how-to-install-a-driver-other-hardware-recognition-problems/#findComment-961364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhaannaahh Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Update: my dvd drive is working! I still can't connect anything in the usb ports (the device manager (let's call it this way) tells me that my LaCie external HDD is connected (see screenshot attached), but I don't find it anywhere in "Compurter" :/) Well, interesting fact: I plugged the external HDD and rebooted, it was recognized (appeared on my desktop) but I couldn't browse in it.. (the mouse cursor was a circle turning on itself with beautiful colors.. endlessly) Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135471-how-to-install-a-driver-other-hardware-recognition-problems/#findComment-961413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
