Dlink DFE-530TX

[xMacleodx]

Hi

 

I have been playing with ideneb for the past 4 or so days, tried 10.5.5 didnt work so moved to 10.5.6 and have gotten a result I get a desktop but doesnt install correct GPU, Sound Card, and finally NIC.

 

1st thing I want to get working is the NIC which is a Dlink DFE-530TX I have tried the drivers from Dlink found an old chached driver page with 10.2 drivers but they didnt work. Then after some more reasearch I found out that is is a Realtek RTL8139 so after trying some other drivers from Realtek I still do not get a working NIC.

 

What I would like to know is using "View PCI Device/Vendor ID" under the "OSx86 Tools Utility" my NIC is detected as a VT86C100A [Rhine][1106:3040](rev 06) is this the correct card that MAC will see it as or not?

 

Also I saw that extension in the customize page of the 1.4 Installer. Can I get that KEXT anywhere else or would I have to reinstall from scratch to get it to work?

 

 

 

Thanks

I have a small up date I ended up breaking something and had to reinstall again and set the Rhine driver to install and got a result. OSX sees the card but does not work will not see the DHCP and if I manually set also doesnt work.
