Lifehacker mocks my UD3R ethernet...

[mikedddd]

Hello, all.

Finally trying to move up to 10.6 after over a year of success at 10.5 with hackintoshes.

I used the Lifehacker guide and installer package. Wow, that's easy. My stats:

C2D 8500

4 gb/2dimm

GAEP45UD3R

Netgear GA311

PCIe USB/Firewire card.

 

So, I make my bootable USB drive, install, boot from USB into my install, everything is beautiful except I have no ethernet. Yes, I turned it back on in the bios after the install. Self-assigned IP 169... Can't get it to do anything. Both onboard and the PCI card are recognized, they just won't connect.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Yes, I know lifehacker is designed for a slightly different motherboard and that could be the problem, but others have had success, so I am hopeful as it is very easy. I am using the v3 stella installer.

 

Thanks for all the help from the community. If this fails, I'll be trying the guide specific for this motherboard, but it involves a bit more digging around in DSDT which I have been trying to avoid.

 

Best,

Mike
