Wicked Llama Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I am fairly new to the OSx86 scene and I was wondering; first, if there is any way I can use my current NIC. If not, I was wondering which would be the best/easiest Ethernet/Network card to use on OSx86. PC Specifications: ASUS P5KPL-CM Motherboard (Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Ethernet , VIA HD VT1708B Audio) Intel Q9300 Nvidia 9500 GT Kalyway 10.5.2 If you need more information, let me know. NOTE: I do not have wireless at all Thanks for your help, Wicked PS (To Mods): if this isn't the right section, feel free to move it, sorry. EDIT: I'm currently considering an Intel Pro/100+ card, if it's compatable, since it's only $15 on eBay. My Price range is anything less than $20 or so.

Wicked Llama Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 From the wiki List of working network cards. Thanks for replying, and thanks for the useful links However, I have P5KPL-CM, not -VM. From the Wiki: P5KPL-CMLAN - Atheros not working - using PCI 8139D (no drivers) Is that Wiki 100% accurate about that LAN? Saying it doesn't work and all. Thanks for trying/helping, Wicked Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/153790-besteasiest-network-card-for-osx86/#findComment-1086107 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked Llama Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 http://insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=123154 The good deal on that card has ended ... it was $5 with free shipping, now it's $15 + shipping. Still, thanks for the link. EDIT: Is there any way to know if this would work? I don't see a model # or chipset anywhere in the description.. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-REALTEK-10-100-PCI...93%3A1|294%3A50 Also, I'm considering this aswell: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:X:AAQ:US:1123 Is that the same thing as the NetGear Gigabit FA311? Which card do you recommend? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/153790-besteasiest-network-card-for-osx86/#findComment-1086140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
