DerRolf Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hello everybody! I got some troubles with my Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2L Board using iPC OS X 10.5.6. The System Profiler isn't able to see any installed PCI device, because it doesn't show my Realtek RTL8185 PCI WiFi Card. I've installed the 9.6.0 Voodoo Kernel, graphic card drivers, ICHx SATA drivers, sound drivers, SMBIOS File and a patched bootloader. lcpci shows the card, but i've tried lots of patched iopcifamily.kext but none of them worked. And by the way, if I install a "wrong" IOPCIFamily.kext the system is completely crashing, and I can't even access singleuser mode, because it's always showing "Could not load AppleACPIPCI.kext blablabla" and at this point it stops booting, so I even't can't erase it. The patched IOPCIFamily.kext from the iPC DVD does not work do you know any solution? thanks (sorry for that problems I had, when I created this topic damn IdeaPad Keyboard is too small and I hit accidently the enter button :S) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200205-no-pci-on-ga-945gcm-s2l/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
riws Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 It shouldnt show you it in System Profiler. Drivers from Realtek homepage tried? Tiger Version.

DerRolf Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 It shouldnt show you it in System Profiler. Drivers from Realtek homepage tried? Tiger Version. Yep, I've tried them, but the Realtek Logo keeps jumping in the dock for about a minute and then it stops jumping, but it seems like it's not active (because the dot under the icon isn't there and nothing happens if I click on the Realtek Icon) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200205-no-pci-on-ga-945gcm-s2l/#findComment-1346789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
riws Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Kext´s get loaded? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200205-no-pci-on-ga-945gcm-s2l/#findComment-1346807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerRolf Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Kext´s get loaded? Well I've just looked in the System Profiler (Software -> Extensions) and the rtl8185.kext does not show up in there o_O Stupid question (sorry, I haven't been playing around with OS X x86 for that long time, I had my iBook G4 before ) but how do I load this extension now correctly? Thanks in advantage Edit: Ah just found out on myself Kextload in terminal and then the path to the kext. But it says "extension /System/Library/Extensions/rtl8185.kext/ does not contain code for this architecture" - So is there no way to get this card to work?
