Hi Guys,

 

First, Before I go into what my issue is, here's my System Setup:

 

- 1 x EVGA Classified SR-2 Motherboard (270-WS-W555-A1)

- 2 x Xeon X5650 CPUs

- 1 x EVGA 480 GTX Superclocked GPU

- 48GB Kingston RAM (KHX1600C9D3K6)

- 1 x 120GB OWC 6G Mercury Extreme SSD

- 2 x 2TB Western Digital Caviar Black (WD2001FASS) HDs

- Silverstone TJ11 PC Case

- Koolance Water Cooled system throughout

- Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2

 

Here's my situation:

 

I have tried using Syba Gigabit 1000Base-T Ethernet PCI-Express Network Card, w/ Realtek RTL8111 Chipset (P/N: SD-PEX24009) and using lnx2mac's RealtekRTL81xx-0_0_90.pkg (found here: RealtekRTL81xx-0_0_90.pkg) that installed RealtekRTL81xx.kext, but to no avail. It still doesn't work. I have a Motorola Cable Modem connected to a D-Link DIR-655 Router and I can go online through my own D-Link admin and see that the my SR-2 system is connected (by viewing it on my other Hackie), but so far I get no connection on my new SR-2 setup. No clue what's going on, any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

 

PS - I'm about to possibly use a Trendnet USB to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (TU2-ETG). I would like to see though what help I can get through here... Again, thanks...

IMO, its cheap and I bet it will work considering its Mac compatible but I would use D-link DWA-556 it works great OBO or both...

Opps I forgot there might be other revisions of the DWA-556 so will look that up on my build and post back what rev. it is!

I look forward to your reply. Thanks. BTW, lnx2mac is trying to help me with a debug app that is in the same RealtekTRL81xx-0_0_90.pkg that I just ran. I don't know how to figure it out but he does. What's confusing is that this PCI ethernet card has the Realtek RTL8111 Chipset built in. An SR-2 builder has used this very card with no issues. Maybe this card is bad I will wait for your reply here soon. But I would like to have something that is not wireless if I can help it. Thanks again... :-)

Here it is and the reason for being so specific is that other posts suggest that some don't work. Its been around awhile.

I do have an intersting theory about the way PCI-E is implemented and how the hardware is detected, in your case with the pci nic's I would think that somewhere you need to add information so it picks up the card as a device and then recognize to load the apropraite Kext. I am also aware others have your set up and unsure if they have used the Marvell onboard lan.

Here's the specs and I envy your set up very nice.The other thing is over @ tonymac seems not have the first insanelymacians that got this thing running but I'm very sure theres a kext bundle for this already. I just can't remember the thread. Over at EVGA there's someone who had this thing going for awhile. Just simply pointing out its around somewhere...

I just purchased one of these gigabit ethernet cards for my SR-2 Hackintosh. I use a USB WiFi stick for my actual internet access, but I needed a valid “built-in” ethernet card in order to have access to the App Store and iTunes Match since there are no working Mac OS drivers for the SR-2’s built-in ethernet.

In order to get Mac OS to recognize it as "built-in”, I used gfxutil to output the hex for the com.apple.boot.plist file.
