Hello everyone! :) I just installed Mac OS 10.6.3 on my laptop CQ61-125EQ and the network cards (Ethernet and wifi) doesn`t work.

 

  • the ethernet card is an Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E
  • the wifi card is Atheros AR5001

The Mac OS see the ethernet card as a RTL8103E card and it doesn`t work.

Any ideea how to install at least one of the network card to access the internet???

 

Cheers!

Is strange, but i had Wireless Card AR5001x PCI Desktop version and works in Snow native, do you tried add the pci dev to info.plist ?

 

For RTL8101E check this link: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...p;GetDown=false

 

If none adapter works still, then check this link too: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=183356
