Neilis Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ok, I got a little issue. I have been running Kalyway 10.5.4 for quite a while now, and it's been generally working fine. I decided though that I'd like o try and update to 10.5.8. I installed Chameleon 2 RC2 first to get the EFI boot loader installed, and after a reboot everthing still worked fine, so I then started the regular Apple 10.5.8 updater. It seemed to go ok - downloaded and installed as expected. After a reboot everything seemed to come up fine, but I didn't have any network access. I went into the Network config dialog and it says that the cable isn't connected. The card is showing up, it's just not registering the cable. I tried going into my Time Machine backup and copying out the old IONetworkingFamily.kext to the drive. Didn't seem to help. Tried taking an old 3com 3c905 card I had lying around and put it in the system - same thing. Card is recognized but cable shows as unplugged. Other than this everything else appears to be working fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

Beerkex'd Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Any ideas? How about posting the make and model of the hardware that stopped working.

Neilis Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 How about posting the make and model of the hardware that stopped working. It's the hackintosh listed in my sig: ECS 945GZT-M, Intel E2160 Dual Core 1.8Ghz, 2GB DDR2, 160GB SATA Seagate Hard drive, MSI Geforce 8600GTS I was originally using the onboard ethernet just fine. I've discovered something VERY strange now though. The cable that I was using fine before the reboot? Doesn't work in either card. Plug it into my Linux box though and it works. HOWEVER, when I took the cable from my Linux box and plugged it into that 2nd 3c905 the system picked it up and worked. The same cable plugged into the onboard card still doesn't work though. So I got 2 cables going to a router. Both work connected to 1 system. Another works in 1 card of the hackintosh but not the other. The second works in neither hackintosh card. This don't make any sense to me now, but at least I do have network access with the 2nd cable connected to the PCI card.

Thats not precise enough, so look out which ethernet controller you have on your board, then go to hardware and drivers, ethernet and see if there is an answer for your problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180122-network-problem-after-update/#findComment-1227372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
