sethius Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Can you pop the side off your rig and share the knowledge about what size power supply you have in there ?mine is a 375watt which i think is a bit small for a quad and a 7900gt.I bet yours at least has a 500watt'er. It sounds like you got a hell of a system. suprisingly I have a 375 watt power supply.. looks like you're going shopping this weekend! ..btw how would i go about overclocking my cpu? ..and what's going on with the NIC!!!?? - i now can't browse with audio in vista!

Headrush69 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 The NIC kext i uploaded is bad i dont know what i did wrong, I am working on a New One Now I Hope I will Have It Up By Tomarrow I'm Sorry About the Trouble this may of caused Bad in what sense? I have a XPS 420 but seems its the same network chipset. I have grabbed the latest AppleIntel8255x sources from Darwin (18.0.80), compiled it fine and added my device IDs. (Permissions, kext caches etc too) Still can't seem to get it to work. Here is some output from dmesg: (The tulip driver is the temporarily added pci ethernet card) ethernet: family specific matching fails darwin_tulip loaded darwin_tulip_admtek985 or one of its subclasses. darwin_tulip vendorID = 0x1317 deviceID = 0x0985 revisionID = 0x0011 darwin_tulip subSystemVendorID = 0x1429 subSystemID = 0xd020 EEPROM contents: MAC Addr: 00:10:a7:1a:05:69 ethernet: family specific matching fails i82557eeprom: checksum 0 incorrect Intel82557: couldn't allocate eeprom object Seems to be an eeprom reading issue, any ideas?

dvil Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 For the look of the source code seems very unprovable that the 2855x driver could work with the 28566 NIC with a simple ID change, the error happens in the very beginning of the initialization process, because of this I'm very interested to see how was possible for bigdaddyrob to get it working. If anyone is interested the source code for the FreeBDS driver for this NIC is available, maybe one of the developers here could take a look on it ad have a driver using the FreeBSD and the Apple source code. It's a shame that this NIC is not working yet, a lot of the 965 based boards use it. I own a DP965LT and is the only part not working yet.

mrjoe Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 82566 not 82556. And it RECOGNIZES it as a 82557, that's how ID editing works I think, 1) match ID. => 2) find a device YES | NO Go to | Go to 3a | 3b 3)a. display i____eeprom b. display as 82557 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28138-dell-xps-410-resource-extravaganza/page/8/#findComment-525303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvil Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 i don't have any experience editing kexts, but why does it say '82557', when the onboard NICs are '82566's? "i82557eeprom" is a text string hard coded in the 8255x kext code this is in the i82557eeprom.cpp file of the source code. So, given that the matching is forced adding the ID in the 8255x kext family there are not any explicit reference to 8256x NICS.

mrjoe Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 this is like waiting for iAtkos Will be released soon. but i hope it will. Fingers crossed LOL BTW iATKOS is gonna really be released. It's finished, but the uploader needs to receive the iso on a DVD first so that he can convert to iso and then upload as torrent. Let us hope that the NIC will follow, except in a shorter time.

mrjoe Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Same here. But there IS a way to determine if bigdaddyrob2g posted it. Satisfies two criteria: 1) In the forum page it should say who posted most recently and WHEN (which leads to number 2) 2) bigdaddyrob2g always posts at 5-6 EASTERN TIME. Make sure your time conversion skills are put to use if you see he posted some other time. Just some info. I don't know why he gets up at 3 (he lives in Utah) but to each man his own, I guess!
