wiebeest Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I buy this new pci card because I read that it works very wellbut it doesn't work What you describe is what I fear. I can make ethernet work through VMWare (Maxxuss VMWare internet connection). But VMware is much slower then when I start OS X natively. Problem is natively the vmware doesn't work and OSX doesn't seem to like my onboard LAN. So I'm considering buying PCI lan like you did. According to the HCL the Realtek RTL8139 work swell, so do people across the x86 boards state, but I suspect not all brands using this chipset are accepted. Therefore people: if you had success with a networkcard, please state exact brand and type, not just the chipset it is based upon. Secondly I suspect that, although we all use the same version of OS X x86, the hardware on which we use it make some PCI (USB, etc) stuff work on some and not one others. (please tell me I'm wrong...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 More than different brands of the Realtek 8139 NIC is the different versions of the same chip, some there are A,B,C, and D. I read somewhere that the D version does not work fully, I don't rememner where exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 it might be a problem with the chipset of your mainboard, in particular with the pci controller. have you tried to boot with the platform=X86PC parameter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumpo Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Just some additional info: I have a RTL8139C that works on my ASROCK 939 DUAL SATA2 without problems. Don't know the manufacturer though, it's just some cheap 5 bucks NIC I picked up at a computer store 2 or 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
