Matt Mastrobuono Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I am not new to installing osx on a pc but I have never taken the quizzes to post until today and failed the second one... heres the problem: I recently installed OSX lion on my computer with a motherboard GA EP45 UD3R. Everything is working great except the built in ethernet. Whatever I do, Lion doesn't want to recognize an ethernet card. OSX86Tools gives an error and EFI tools says there is no ethernet. I tried Lnx2mac and that didn't do anything either. any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Mastrobuono Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 I got it to work. I installed snow leopard on a separate partition and the ethernet worked on that. took IONetworkingFamily.kext and put it in lion. my only problem now is that it didnt seem to see ethernet when i restarted it with ethernet not plugged in. I need it to be seen to register Avid Media Composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copil Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 It should work in dhcp, IONetworkingFamily.kext? In com.apple.Boot.plist now org.chameleon.Boot.plist, add EthernetBuiltIn=y or add the lan0 in dsdt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In com.apple.Boot.plist now org.chameleon.Boot.plist, add EthernetBuiltIn=y or add the lan0 in dsdt. i have com.apple.boot.plist and org.chameleon.Boot.plist, EthernetBuiltIn=yes on both but no dsdt and I do not know how to make one. I had it in a working snow leopard pack but I'm not sure where I placed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
