Intel 82543GC Gigabit Ethernet

[Sevilio]

Greetings!

First I must say that I am no expert with OS X.

My problem is:

I bought a network adapter Intel PRO /1000 model 82543GC Gigabit Ethernet for a very good price.

Searching the Internet I discovered that it would be compatible with the OSX even find drivers for it on a site specializing in Ethernet cards for MAC.

For my surprise my Inedeb V1.3 OSX 10.5.5 recognized the card without even need to install the any drivers.

The card seems to work perfectly, but she could not communicate with my network.

I tried to set it as DHCP, tried to enter the IP manually and make changes on TX RATE, i tried all the normal settings possible, and not had success.

So i decided to install the drivers that i found on the Internet, did everything by following the steps of the manual and the result was the same.

No Network Communication

I will put here a link to the drivers that I am using to get people more experienced im my quest to solve this problem.

I also put some interesting links and information from the card.

Thank you for your attention and excuse me for bad English.
