Hello Eski, I have edited my earlier post for you with the working NIC controller. Not kext just a .pkg, to boot into 32bit mode use arch=i386 on boot then add it to your com.apple.boot.plist, Also im told that the install methord using the OSinstall.pkg will eventually riddle your system with permision errors, so i opted for the USB methord with the paid copy of SL. Let me know how you get on, Also PM ur email address for contact, MSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how you get on, Also PM ur email address for contact, MSN. After install with OSinstall.mpkg method there are is two ways to fix the permissions a. boot and run BSD.pkg from Retail image (the easy way) b. boot from 10.5.x partiotion and give 3 commands $ cd /Volumes/Snow/System/Library $ sudo chown -R root:wheel Extensions $ sudo kextcache -v 1 -t -m /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/Snow/System/Library/Extensions/ Boot from Snow Partition assingle user and giving the below commands # mount -uw # chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions # kextcache -v -l -t -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions/ Pemissions now it's ok BTW finaly i was made a success installation with Totaly Vanilla method my network card working with realtec 2.0.3 package but it all 32 bit Tomorow i will try to change 64bit mode with below way #diskutil list (to see where is hide partition EFI) #mkdir /Volumes/EFI #mount_hfs /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI edit kernel <string>arch=i386<string> (32bit) to <srting><sting> (64bit) #umount -f /Volumes/EFI #rm -f /Volumes/EFI i know what my ethernet card don't work but i have many RTL8139 and i believe they works in 64bit Greetings from Athens Greece Sorry for my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im on the same situation RTL8102 with R1000.kext driver working on IDeneb 10.5.5 but can´t get it to work on Snow 10.6.0 or 10.6.3 so far. With the R1000 driver it gives me green light on Ethernet and ISP on the networking settings. But i cant make it work. Anyone knows a fix for this?
