Zanozza Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hi! A am nooby in Leopard anatomy (yet) and asking for your help. The problem is: Network (LAN and WiFi) working perfectly on Leopard 10.5.8 and fresh install of Snow Leopard. But after SL updating (by software update process) to 10.6.2 I'm loosing network completely. I can get back network by starting with "-f" or "-x" keys only. But in normal mode - I am loosing again. What should I do to have network in normal mode each time? Thank you in advance!

Hello, what are the hardware specs of your LAN and Wifi, I'm not a pro at all this but I have an experience of about 5 hackintoshes, have a look on www.kexts.com for some snow leopard drivers for your devices and use kext helper (google it) to install them. As i said I'm no pro so someone else may know better.

Zanozza Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 My specs: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) As I told, there is my misunderstanding, why intel82566MM.kext working well with SL started with "-f" key only. Thank you for advise, Liam! I'll post my progress!

Zanozza Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Solution: If my network working well with start key "-f", then I need to rebuild my caches, isn't? So, this command made my Ethernet working after software update to 10.6.2: 1. Rebuild the Extensions.mkext for /Extra/Extensions in /Extra with the following command. sudo kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /Extra/Extensions.mkext /Extra/Extensions 2. Rebuild the Extensions.mkext for the “/System/Library/Extensions” directory: sudo kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions source Restarted and smile!

xenophex Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 There is a 32/64bit version of the Intel82566MM.kext out there. I haven't had had any issues with LAN.

vdac Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Try to unload your previous kext, then use kext helper. reload your kext. then restart, then boot -v -f flags Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207767-lost-ethernet-after-update-to-1062/#findComment-1388451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
