mrunwired Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I recently blew away my 10.5.6 vanilla install and have got SL *mostly* working on my box. I've got sound and video working fine, but I cannot get my onboard NIC running, nor can I get an add-in NIC working that is known to work with SL... This one (TRENDnet TEG-PCITXR 10/ 100/ 1000/ 2000Mbps PCI Copper Gigabit Network Adapter), from NewEgg... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16833156139 With 10.5.6, I just installed the RealTek R1000 Kext, and everything was fine. With SL, I install the "64 bit" or SL compatible Kext found here, and the *best* I get, with the Onboard NIC, is an Eth0 in Network panel that can't get a connection via DHCP, nor work with manually assigned addresses... With the TEG-PCITXR, I get bupkiss. Help? Do I need to remove/disable something first? Am I using the wrong Kexts? Links to known-good drivers for this board and/or card for SL would be awesome.

AppleIIGuy Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 The kext doesnt work in 64 bit Stay in 32 bit Unless your UD3R board is diffrent then mine you wont be putting 64+GB ram on it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185930-snow-leopard-on-gigabyte-ex58-ud3r/#findComment-1262596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done anything to force 64-bit booting. How can I check and/or change which mode I'm in?

ryansimms Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I didn't think that RC2 was compatible with Snow Leopard. I know that RC3 is, so I'd say start by upgrading your chameleon bootloader to RC3. you can enter "arch=i386" at chameleon startup to load in 32 bit mode, or you can add this flag to your com.apple.boot.plist file <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=i386</string> Ryan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/185930-snow-leopard-on-gigabyte-ex58-ud3r/#findComment-1264707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
