Slappysan Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've been trying all sorts of different kexts to get my GA311 RTL8169 card working but I've had 0 success so far. the device and vendor ids are set correctly and the system loads up the kexts but no ethernet device is created. ~# kextstat | grep -i ionet\\\|rtl 66 2 0x5d787000 0x16000 0x15000 com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily (1.9) <7 6 5 4 3 1> 76 0 0x5d7e5000 0xb000 0xa000 rtl.r1000.nic.ext (1.0.4) <66 14 11 10 5 4 3 1> ~# what sort of things can I do to debug this? any help is appreciated.

Slappysan Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 actually the R1000 driver was loading there, but it doesn't support 8169, I gave it a try though. my actual problem is: $ kextstat | grep -i rtl 77 0 0x5dac5000 0x20000 0x1f000 com.apple.driver.AppleRTL8169Ethernet (1.1.4a5) <69 14 5 4 3 1> 11-01-04 6:57:42 PM kernel AppleRTL8169Ethernet: IOInterruptEventSource error so I guess I need to keep trying different AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kexts? I've tried a few, but haven't been keeping track of the identifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barein Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 $ kextstat | grep -i rtl 77 0 0x5dac5000 0x20000 0x1f000 com.apple.driver.AppleRTL8169Ethernet (1.1.4a5) <69 14 5 4 3 1> 11-01-04 6:57:42 PM kernel AppleRTL8169Ethernet: IOInterruptEventSource error For a possible solution search google for: AppleRTL8169Ethernet IOInterruptEventSource error First result is <http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=188012>. 1. Backup and delete AppleHPET.kext, AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient.kext. 2. Remove /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext 3. Reboot. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
