vividvew Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have two IP35 Pro MBs and am using the two onboard Gig NICs(Intel ICH9-R). I found out today that the option to make a vlan in Network settings is greyed out. "System Preferences -> Network -> Manage Virtual Interfaces -> New Vlan" One is running SL and the other is running SL Server but the option is not available on either. I need to run a dot1q trunk to the one running SL Server but can't. I checked on my MBP and the option is not greyed out. Wanted to see if anyone has run into this issue. I am a bit confused as I was under the impression that the ICH9 used the stock Apple driver for the onboard NICs. Any help would be great. Thanx. p.s. If anyone knows an add-in NIC that works in 10.6 as a dot1q trunk I would be willing to do this as well. I need approx 5 vlans for VMs and I really don't want to use 5 NICs and burn 5 ports on my switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vividvew Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Just in case anyone is googling this in the future this is working in 10.7.2 using the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet 2.0.6 driver from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. I can now create a dot1q trunk and push multiple vlans down to my hackintosh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Just in case anyone is googling this in the future ICH9 doesn't have built-in ethernet, it is separate from the motherboard chipset and can be any make and model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vividvew Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yea, I figured that out latter on in my research but it still didn't help me solve my problem of creating trunks so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
