James Drake Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 also, it seems that after a cable has been plugged and unplugged, that ethernet port will no longer work until you reboot.

hnak Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 ok not for me then... might be a job for lnx2mac, i will ask over there... I have ported the driver (AppleIGB.kext). It might work with your hardware. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/205771-appleintele1000ekext-for-108107106105/page/7/#findComment-1775849 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbb Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 1.9.5 works for me but I can't use anything above 4000 mtu. If I do I lose connection (but the interface is still up) after a short while and nothing works until i up it manually. 1.3.7 was working fine instead. Also, is there a way to enable polling? Thanks!

I will check if the jumbo frame code has memory leak or something. By the way, how do you utilize polling, maybe debugger ?

I thought polling was lowering CPU usage, I can enable it with FreeBSD (drivers must support it), I don't know if you can enable it also on OSX, maybe it's just related to FreeBSD?

Klonkrieger2 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Has anyone any idea why my lan controller (82579LM) sporadically resets my router (Fritz!Box 7270)? No (speciel) entries in the console... Edit: I'm sorry, it was a problem with the router firmware. the lan controller works perfectly!

howmany Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have the intel 82579 LM on my Dell Optiplex 990, and hrak's kext works beautifully, except: There's no option for WOL in my energy preferences. I have it enabled in my bios. Do I need to modify the kext?

brycv Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 A few of us are seeing some errors with the latest 1.11.3 but they don't appear to be there on the previous version. The errors are all with 82579V Ethernet on Z68 and Z77 systems. This is the output in kernel.log. Apparently this prevents sleep for some.

hnak Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 The driver hangs correctly when it is about to stop. So the orignial code to report hang checks if it is in terminating process. I just removed the check as I thought it would never bother users. It seems untrue for sleep/resume users. Though it is a normal operation, I will add some check in the next version.

ayuayu129 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hi hnak I have 0x1503 device on P8Z68-V/GEN3. As Cipolippo said in this topic, the driver seems not to work correctly on this board. First I connected LAN to Intel port, IP was not assigned (yellow icon in Network PrefPane). Then I set it "Manually" or "Using DHCP with manual address", the icon is turned green, but no internet connection. Browser and other applications show that request is timed out. I tried all version supporting 10.7, and got same result. Could you tell me how to solve this?

brycv Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I can confirm that with 1.10.6 and the Intel 82579V chip on both the Gigabyte G1.Sniper M3 and Asus Sabertooth Z77 manual sleep works fine. Energy Saver sleep is not working on the G1.Sniper M3 but I don't think that is related.
