Hey guys.I have the MACOSX_10.4.4DVDPATCHED_Myz.iso

 

Specs are:

P4 540 3.2 GhZ (CPU compatible with MAC)

80 GB Western Digital S-ATA

20 GB IDE wD

Asus P5P800

Network Card (Most important): AcerLAN ALN-201 PCI Ethernet Adapter

Code for the network card is: 0x802910EC

 

I followed the guides at http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_Tulip (only part one)

What I did step by step:

I boot up properly.

Download the tulip tool and put it on a FAT32 partition. Unzip, and pasted it onto my MAC partition.

Then I did:

1. Download the Tulip archive, and extract.

 

2. Within Terminal, move to the folder you just extracted, then the src folder (using the cd command), and type "sudo make install". Your may be asked for your password, for example "bovinity".

 

What do we do when we get the message that " make: command not found " ? Please help********

{ You need to download the xcode developers tools from the apple site.... }

 

3. Upon completion, Tulip is now installed in your /System/Library/Extensions folder. Reboot, and hold your breath.

 

4. Upon reboot, check your network preferences. If all goes well, you should be able to edit the settings for your built-in ethernet adapter. Now you have networking support!

 

For step 2, yes I did have to install the xcode thingy. And it worked fine after that. Ok, so I reboot, cannot find, next step was to ...

 

follow the whole guide of http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...t_Patching_List

First I booted the OS.

Then I went into terminal and typed in sudo-s.

Then cd /system/library/extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/content

chmod 644 info.plist

nano info.plist

 

Went to the bottom. And just before the last command, I put <string>0x813910ec 0x13001186 0x12111113 0x802910EC</string>

 

After I went into Disk Utilty to repair my permissions.

 

Then I typed: cd /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/

kextload AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext to test my new kext.

 

After I typed these to clear my cache:

rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext (You may also just drag these two to the trash and give your password.)

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

And then rebooted.

 

It does not seem to work.

 

MAC detects two built-in serial ports which I find strange because I don't remember having a modem on my PC. But it cannot detect the built-in ethernet. This is very frustrating. I spent a few hours trying to fix it but with no luck.

 

Please help me! THANKS VERY MUCH! Your help is greatly appreciated
