atwinda Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I am having an issue with my network card. I just did the newest apple updates, and after the restart I couldn't connect to the network- dchp wasn't pulling an address, so I assigned one manually. It still doesn't connect to the net, nor can i ping the router. I tried deleting the realtek1000 kext, restarting, and then reinstalled the kext and updated the caches. the network card doesn't show up in about this mac anymore, but does show up when I use ideneb's hardware lookup on the dvd during installation. This is the 2nd time this has happened- last time I reinstalled osx, and everything was good again. I really rather not do that again. is there any way to force osx to look for hardware? or hardware that is missing kexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atwinda Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 very 1st time heard this crazy thing. which netcard is? very 1st time heard this crazy thing. which netcard is? it's the onboard nic from an intel dg41ty. realtek 8111d that the realtek1000 driver was working on. I updated the bios today. Still no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Jeremy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'd download the installer package and open it with Pacifist to see if it installed any network kexts that might conflict with your previously working driver. If so, take 'em out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
