kdawg Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Realtek just updated their driver. I wonder if it's as robust as lnx2mac's? Does it have full Bonjour support and auto-negotiation? It appears to be 64-bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 That driver supports : Support for the following Realtek chips: RTL8168 / RTL8168B / RTL8168C RTL8111 / RTL8111B / RTL8111C / RTL8111CP / RTL8111D / RTL8111D(L) / RTL8111DP / RTL8111E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnullimaus Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I installed the driver and it runs fine so far on 10.6.4 / 64 bit. I have found two drawbacks: 1. it doesn't support WOL when you have shut down the PC (i have never got that working but just installed another NIC for that...), so i don't complain but just noticed. 2. afer starting a packet capture with wireshark, it looses network connectivity. i would assume this is related with enabling / disabling promiscous mode. Network connectivity can be restored with ifconfig en0 down ifconfig en0 up over all, i can live with it, and it gives me a benefit because bonjour / multicast ist working. regards, Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
