Spaser Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi guys, I have IDeneb 1.5.4, and there is no way to make my mobo(GAp35-DS3) integrated adapter (chip realtek 8168/8111B) work. I tryed: 1) IOnetwokfamily.kext 2) This http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29436 solution But still nothing, the adapter don`t even have power on it, in XP i works perfectly. And also i have Scientific Atlanta (Webstar) modem 2100, i try to connect it via USB, but have no drivers for it (for MAC OS) - so it initialise in OS and shows in "Networking" as Ethernet 2. Because i have no drivers it shows wrong IP adress (DHCP auto mode) like 164.67... In Manual i can set my real IP and DNS servers, but it is still can not open pages. What can i do, baybe some drivers for 2100Webstar - didn`t foud them on internet. Thanks in advance!

Adam_86 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hy guys! I have a big question! I've got an Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Wireless card in my Acer travelmate 4233WLMi, but it doesen't work, and I don't find driver for it. I decide I'll buy a new PCI-Express card in my notebook. For example the Gigabyte GN-WI01GT Is it good? Is it working whit my Mac OS X Kaylaway 10.5.2? I want to use the Airport and I want to that, Mac OS X Kaylaway 10.5.2 recognize the new WiFi card and I can connect WEP or WPA Wifi system. What do you think? Is it good, and possible?

fighterhawk Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I need a card where I can change the Ethernet MAC address since my ISP binds internet access by MAC. Any suggestions? My onboard marvell yukon doesn't allow me to change it.

CaBuffalo Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Can some of you list network cards that you have working (native), I can't seem to get mine to show up so I'll go pick one up at the store. I'm using a DLINK DGE-530T with IPC 10.5.6. It works flawlessly.

Galla Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 just confirming that usb wlan adaper Airlive WL-1600USB (ovislink) works just fine on iatkos v7 10.5.7. using drivers for Mac downloaded from their web site.

Il Francy MacPc Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi, just want to share my experience w/ D-Link DWA-547 AR5416 (Atheros 5008 family chipset). It worked OOB from 10.5.2 to 10.5.6 then had troubles detecting network since AirPort Client Update 2009-001 IO80211Family.kext version 2.1.5 instead w/ 10.5.6 stock IO80211Family.kext version 2.1.4 works flawlessly. I noticed that on first boot after OS X updates network is always recognized. From second reboot on, it is no more. This also happens mostly after switching from W_in_ native boot, there working good. I am convinced it may be a problem related to uncorrect PCI slots addressing in BIOS. Device must be plugged to the first upper slot (en1). Now I'm on 10.5.7 fully up to date and BIOS is F6 final. If happens any wireless network not recognized, is solved entering setup and saving BIOS CMOS w/ the same settings. Mind if you connect by PPPoE on AirPort your new service name has to follow alphabetically AirPort as the upper service in the left column of Network preferences is the one discovering networks. The Set Service Order instead needs the PPPoE service in first upper place. Check Preferred Networks in AirPort Advanced preferences after connecting PPPoE for the first time and add your network again because it gets deleted. AirPort Card Information: Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x3A6B) Wireless Card Locale: Unknown Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.8.3 Current Wireless Network: Wireless Channel: 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/258-what-network-cards-work/page/22/#findComment-1192245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinner_plate Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 hi folks, anyone tried the d-link dwa-556 card? it�s a draft n pci express card.. any comments appreciated! The DWA 556 works beautifully as a native Airport Express card on my GA-G33M-S2. It only operates on the 2.4GHz band though (not dual-band/MIMO 5GHz0 so I have received and am testing the Mini PCI-E / PCI-E adapter MP2W (vers. 2.11 with 2.4/5.8G antennas) and a native Atheros Mini PCI-E Wireless N card pulled from a MacBook. This should result in native 2.4GHz/5GHz operation with my Airport Extreme and Mac Mini.

multimolti Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have a VIA® VT6103L 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet PHY and it's NOT WORKING. I also plugged in some Microsoft PCI Card, it's not working either. Thinking of getting an Realtek 8139 Ethernet card, for 4€ it's OK I guess.
