QuorthonRhar Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Note: I posted about this in another thread by mistake, so sorry about this. I just hope moderators can delete the other thread I started and truly hope this won't cause any trouble. Hi you wonderful people and first of all Happy New Year to everyone! I would really need someone to assist me on this problem... I have Acer Aspire 5630 (Canada), Intel Core 2 Duo T5200) and last night I installed iPC OSx86 10.5.6 without a single glitch. Prior installing it, I patched ISO file as suggested in some threads on InsanelyMac with ppf1 & ppf2, plus with Intel fix for blue screen problem ppf (because first time I tried installing it from unpatched ISO, I wasn't able to pass the blue screen, installation would just hang in there). At the end, when I patched everything, I've got correct md5: 205573fcbcaf37c1133f5c616344e913 So, I guess everything was done properly. I installed it and it worked out of the box, of course with going into CUSTOM CONFIGURATON during the installation process and checked only drivers I would need. Sound worked immediately as soon as Apple OSX animation started, no problems whatsoever. The only thing that does not work is my WiFi and regular (wired) network.I need at least one to work properly. I am not sure if I've chosen right drivers for my networking, but as far as I can say this is the only thing that does not work on my machine. Everything else is exactly the same as on my new 20" aluminum iMac. When I open my System Preferences / Network, all I get on the left hand side is Ethernet - Not Connected (with red dot) and on the right hand side it says Cable Unplugged even though cable is plugged (exactly the same configuration worked fine with Kalyway 10.5.1 distro). Using DHCP because that's how my whole router/networking is set up. Still no go when it comes connecting to the internet. Is there any way I can do something about this through EFIStudio maybe? I want to avoid going through whole installation process all over again if possible. As for the kernel... I tried reinstalling whole thing on a freshly formated hard drive and used normal Kernel without choosing anything from that list. In that situation my sound wouldn't work so I gave up. I installed, not sure what's the name, but it was the kernel at the bottom of that list offered when going through Custom Configuration during the installation of OSX. My Network adapter is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and I am sure I picked that one from the list, although it said something like this: Intel Pro 3945. I also tried reinstalling everything using same configuration settings and I did not choose anything form that custom configuration list when it comes to Network card drivers, but I still didn't get connection after installation was completed. I am not sure but I believe I've provided enough information here so someone can help me get my connection. I hope someone would be able to help me with this. Thanks in advance and have a wonderful day everybody!

QuorthonRhar Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Wow, no replies. Does that mean there is no solution for this problem? My network card (wired) worked fine when I was using Kalyway 10.5.2, so not sure why networking is such a big deal in this distro.

XARICA Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Same Ethernet problem in this version - iPC 10.5.6 - on my ACER Aspire 5610 - no solution yet?

bm3074 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Same Ethernet problem in this version - iPC 10.5.6 - on my ACER Aspire 5610 - no solution yet? some ppl have suggested you get the ionetworkingfamily kext from previous versions and install it here. as for the wireless drivers ie 3945, the ones in ipc 10.5.6 are only beta and they dont seem to work. infact the driver for 3945 has never worked. you may have to wait a little longer. use kext helper to install kext IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146894-acer-aspire-5630-ipc-osx86-network-not-working/#findComment-1111343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
