snagar Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hello, I'm a newbe to OSX and after installing the retail OSX v. 10.5.6 on my desktop (Foxconn 9657AA model, intel chipset), I had few issues: 1. nvidia driver 2. booting the OS X without boot loader 3. network 4. sound issues 5. Firewire I resolved the first two, using: NVInstaller & NVkush for the display, and Chameleon for the boot loader. Unfortunatelly I still have network issues which are the most important for me now :confused: My NIC models are (from OSx86 Tools - lspci output): 04:04.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet [10ec:8169] (rev 10)03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller [11ab:4363] My computers are connected through Linksys 54GL with custom firmware of Tommato to the Cabel Modem. The Marvel Ethernet controller my OS X does not recognize. The realtek, my PCI card, it does recognize but always sets a local IP: 169.254.104.33 instead of 192.168.xxx.xxx from the DHCP router server. I tried few things: 1. install DaemonES RTL1xxx_1.02.pkg.zip but did not understand what I should do after installtion since my NIC already was recognized so I uninstalled it. 2. installed Realtek RTGMac_v2.0.0.zip NIC driver, but all was the same too. I checked the dmesg output and found the following rows regarding my Realtek 8169 (it gave more rows when I did not use Realtek drivers): AppleRTL8169Ethernet: Ethernet address 00:e0:4c:50:1e:9d ifconfig output is: en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 169.254.193.245 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 169.254.255.255 ether 00:e0:4c:50:1e:9d media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active supported media: 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> autoselect network configuration, under "System Performance": en0: Connected.Ethernet Adaptor (en0) has a self-assigned IP Address and may not be able to connect. Configure: Using DHCP IP: 169.254.104.33 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 Router: [blank] DNS Server: [blank] Search Domain: [blank] From my System.log I found the following: Apr 12 10:44:31 localhost kernel[0]: AppleRTL8169Ethernet: phyWaitForAutoNegotiation TIMEOUT I did not use any "Injection" driver, cause I do not really understand how it works. Can anyone explain what should I do or which test to do in order to resolve this issue. For now I do not care if my Marvel NIC will work or my Realtek one.
