Intel 82567LF Gigabit Ethernet Controller

[VincentvanG]

Hello,

 

I finally installed iPC 10.5.6 on my dell studio xps 435mt, after a lot of problems. Other distro's never worked for me. Now I'm trying to get my Intel 82567LF Gigabit Ethernet Controller working. Tried the 82566mm kext, but it didn´t work. When I installed Ideneb 10.5.7 with the 82566mm kext it did work... (but ideneb didn't work very well) Can someone help me with this kext?

 

Thanks in advance!

Did you get sound working on this machine? I have the same make/model as you. It'd be nice if you'd help me out on how to get at least 10.5.6 installed properly, I had the ethernet work also on iDeneb, but at the time I was using Wireless and was disappointed and deleted it like a dummy [kicks himself]. Now I'm stuck in between installs, maybe there's a step I'm missing because the guides aren't too specific on what exactly to do, but I did have internet access, but no sound on on 10.5.7 iDeneb at one point before, following everything in the guide. Right now I installed iDeneb on Vmware, it's running smooth but no sound :[ Think I'd have better luck installing it natively; "iPC", not iDeneb....

 

PS. iPC is awesome for Dell Inspiron 1525 laptops, even upgraded it @ some point to 10.5.7.

i had it working, but I use Windows now;) but this is how i did it then, it also includes dual boot with w7. i used 2 distros, iPC 10.5.6 and iDeneb 10.5.7. chek the attachments for the kexts i used;) i dont know about the wireless, i got a wired network here. good luck!
