Dr. Hurt Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Just installed lion after 3 failed attempts. Only problem right now is that the ethernet is not working. After some reading I found out that I need to get the AppleRTL8169.kext from DP1 to get networking. Is that correct? If so, could someone please lead me to the kext Thanks in advance Found driver here: http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/p/realtekrtl81xx-osx-driver.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259013-solved-realtek-rtl8169-no-longer-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkMoSs Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 What also worked for me is to install the Realtek kexts from the latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] package. Since I had it saved already on disk and I had no network to download anything, I though I would try it, and it worked fine After reboot, Realtek ethernet was working.

viciouzex Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I used the latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to get mines working. I didnt choose lnxtomac driver, I chose the third one in the network list and it worked without hesitation, didnt even have to reboot.

covenant Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I used the latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to get mines working. I didnt choose lnxtomac driver, I chose the third one in the network list and it worked without hesitation, didnt even have to reboot. EDIT EDIT: I finally got it to work. But not with the method the previous poster mentioned. Final LION removed the kext, you have to use the Kext from DP1 of Lion.
