Spursboy Liv Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi there all. I recently upgraded my OSX86 system to iPC-X 10.5.6, from Leo4All V4 10.5.4. Fortunately, I have got everything working, except for my network cards. I know that there aren't any stable working drivers for the 3945ABG wireless NIC, which I can live without with, but now my PRO\100 VE NIC isn't working either and doesn't even show up in the Network Preferences now I have installed the IONetworkingFamily 10.5.6 kext from another thread which claims that it works on 10.5.6 but to no avail on my system. I have also tried inserting some IDs into the Info.plist (the first working solution dated back to 2006) but that hasn't worked either. Any ideas?

Azimutz Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi... Was it working before, in Leo4All? What is your device id? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166713-pro100-ve-not-working-on-ipc-x-1056/#findComment-1158146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spursboy Liv Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi... Was it working before, in Leo4All?What is your device id? Yes it was, I remember using Safari a lot My device ID is 1092, and my vendor ID is 8086.

Azimutz Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yes it was, I remember using Safari a lot My device ID is 1092, and my vendor ID is 8086. Ok.. if it worked before, should work now! First check S/L/Extensions folder for a AppleIntel8255x.kext. That's the kext were you must add you device id. It's place is under IONetworkingFamily.kext, in Plugins folder. What happens in most distros is that the patch installs only IONF and AI8255x (separated) and we end up with 2 AI8255x, one in Plugins folder under IONF and another in S/L/E folder. When we add the device id to the kext in Plugins, trying to fix it, it doesn't load because the 2 patched kexts conflict. Also, to use the patched kext in S/L/E, we must change in the info.plist of both IONF and AI8255x, Network-Root to Root in OSBundleRquired key. No need for this editing if you use the kexts in Extra folder. If you have a AppleIntel8255x.kext in S/L/Extensions folder, just delete it. Patch the one in IONF. Got it? If you need more help get back here or pm me.

So, as you say, I should delete the AI8255 in S/L/E. How would I patch the AI8255 in IONF, and how would I insert my device ID into the plist file?

Azimutz Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Do it like this: copy IONF to Desktop, right click it --> Show Package Contents. Go to Plugins folder. If you are going to place the patched kext in Extra folder (recommended), delete all kexts but AI8255x, right click it --> Show Package Contents. Open "info.plist" with text editor and look for this line: <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x10518086 0x10508086 0x10298086 0x10308086&0xfff0ffff 0x12098086 0x12278086 0x12288086 0x12298086 0x24498086 0x24598086 0x245d8086 0x10918086 0x10608086&0xfff0ffff</string> Delete all device id's in <string></string> and add your device id, like this: <string>0x10928086</string> Close and save. Again, if you are going to place the kext in Extra folder, you are done. If you are going to install it back to S/L/E no need to delete the other kexts in Plugins but, you must edit the Network-Root thing i mentioned.

It's simple Okay well so far I have edited the IONF kext like you said and deleted all the IOPCIMatch entries and inserted mine into it, and saved it in the Extensions folder. I have also copied the kext into the Extra folder. How would I edit the Network-Root in the kext though? Sorry i'm not the most experienced of OSX86 users!

Azimutz Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 No need to place the patched kexts in both Extra and S/L/E! Keep the one in S/L/E original and use the patched in Extra (this way won't get over written by updates). Place it in Extra/Extensions for now. No need to edit Network-Root.
