dascooby Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hey there. How do I get ethernet working on my Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L? Was there a driver I was supposed to tick in the custom installation menu? Also, when I get the internet working on it, will it be safe to update to 10.5.8? Thanks.

What motherboard revision do you have? Rev 1.x should work natively.

Horne Fisher Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Add a PCI network card that has a Realtek 8169SC chipset, e.g. Trendnet TEG-PCITXR. Very cheap.

Monkey D. Luffy Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have to agree with Horne Fisher, you should just buy a cheap PCI NIC and it will save you a lot of trouble. I have rev 1.x which works great natively (DSDT patch in SL). I read a lot of people with rev 2 boards that can't make it work and just ended up buying a pci nic. Goodluck.
