pmahoney Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just one thing to fix on my setup. I wish to be able to wake for Ethernet network Access, unfortunately that option does not exist in the energy Saver preference pane, as it does on my real mac. I am running 10.6.2 on a Gigabyte G41M-ES2L with the 7500 Core2Duo, 2 gigs of ram and an Nvidia 8400GS card. Using the normal kexts for snow Leopard Support and Azalia for the audio. everything else is straight from the retail install disk. Tried the RealtekR1000SL kext to see if that added this feature but I saw no difference so I removed it. According the the system profiler it does read the ethernet port as built in. I read some posts that seemed to suggest that if did not read as en(0) then it might cause problems. I know this seems like a dumb thing to want to get working but I am using this box as a media center. I have Air mouse on my iphone and want to be able to wake it from sleep to play some tunes or to launch hulu desktop for my poor man's DVR. thanks in advance and thanks to all that post solutions on this board.

It would exist if you have AppleLPC.kext loaded look at the Intelspeedstep Generic Thread in the xlabs-section, you ll find a how to do, that it gets loaded.

Beerkex'd Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Try Chameleon 2.0 RC3 or later with EthernetBuiltIn=y in /extra/com.apple.Boot.plist. I know you said it's already recognized as built-in but maybe it needs an extra nudge in the right direction.

pmahoney Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well I tried the EthernetBuiltIn flag in the boot.plist, but I saw no change. As for the other suggestion about the AppleLPC.Kext i ran kextstat and while that kext is in the right folder with proper permissions it doen't appear to load on my install. Apparently one can force it to load by altering the dsdt file. However one person compared that to reading James Joyce. I have just now begun to learn more about DSDT files and how to edit them and so forth so I fear this may take some time. Just out of curiosity what if a bought a compatible PCI NIC card and dropped it in my setup, would there be a better chance of that having the wake on Ethernet access option? Those cards are fairly inexpensive and there are plenty on the wiki pages, I just don't know if any of them have the function I am looking for. thanks for the help, If I figure out how to edit the DSDT file correctly and get it to work I will post it.

pmahoney Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Update to wake on lan issue Once you get the AppleLPC.kext loaded via DSDT Then all you have to do is remove the Realtek R1000.kext from your extra folder and or library/extensions folder depending on your install. Then go to the Realtek site http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...p;GetDown=false and download their driver, it is at the bottom of the page, it says it is for 10.4 and 10.5, but it works on 10.6 as well. I then had wake on lan working. The one bad part is you will loose bonjour support, there are some workarounds but they are pretty messy, lots of terminal work. I am guessing bonjour is broken because of the older realtek driver being used so I am not sure I can solve this problem. hope this helps.
