Scellow Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi everyone, I get working the RTL8105E with official driver but it works only in 10Mbps .. so it's a little bit slow .. Anyone find how to get the 100Mbps mode working ? Here is the driver i used (it work on 10.8.3 and older) Plus i found the datasheet pdf if someone can make something with driver file RTGNICv2.0.6For10.7.zip A01-RTL8105EVC-F(RTL8105E_Datasheet_1 4.pdf Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287568-realtek-rtl8105e-only-10mbps-any-chance-for-100mbps/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I don't know how much the 8105 and the 8111 have in common but you could try joining this topic and help with testing Mieze's new driver: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287161-new-driver-for-realtek-rtl8111/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287568-realtek-rtl8105e-only-10mbps-any-chance-for-100mbps/#findComment-1902876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scellow Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi, thanks for your reply, i already tried the 8111 driver but without sucess :/ I just brought this usb to rj45 adaptater on ebay : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/USB-Ethernet-RJ45-Network-Lan-Adapter-for-XP-win-7-Mac-/290882360450?pt=FR_Informatique_Reseaux_Autres&hash=item43b9f09482#ht_1455wt_1399 They say it work on mac, i hope it'll work on my hackintosh. This could help me until i can found an proper driver for my 8105E Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287568-realtek-rtl8105e-only-10mbps-any-chance-for-100mbps/#findComment-1903522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 There's not yet a proper driver: i am in the same boat as yours. There's a driver for it in Linux, though, so it's possible that someone skilled enough port it to OSX. Perhaps you should talk with Slice: he made a driver that theoretically could be enhanced to also support the 8105E. All the best! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287568-realtek-rtl8105e-only-10mbps-any-chance-for-100mbps/#findComment-1903524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scellow Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi thanks for your reply too I think the best to do is to rearrange the official driver for the 8105E, since it work fine, we could do some arrangement to make the 100Mbps works. I think it's the easier solution to do I'm not familiar with coding so for me it would be a pain to try .. ^^, i'll pm Slice as you suggered, i'll try to do my best but my english isn't perfect :/ EDIT: As you seen i found the datasheet document so i think it's doable Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287568-realtek-rtl8105e-only-10mbps-any-chance-for-100mbps/#findComment-1903543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I am the one who needs to thank you! Before seing your topic, i was really not aware of a working solution for the 8105E, even less of an official driver. I just installed it and set it up at 10MB/Half-duplex and, voilà, my onboard lan finally works after almost 10 months of hackintoshing on this machine (AMD CPU, ECS motherboard). Since i use the ethernet only for internet connection, and never for hi-speed data transfer between my computers, a 10MB connection is just enough, because the speed of my internet broadband is exactly 10MB. Now i regret i didn't find this driver earlier, as i decided to buy a RLT8168 pci-e card and this, given the dimensions of my motherboard and placement of the pci-e lanes, have always prevented me to have a better GPU (i use a HD 5450 and i'm rather satisfied, don't get me wrong, but i'd rather gone with a HD 4890 if i had the space that my RLT lan card stole from me). From now on, i have to live with the fact i have two working ethernet ports. Perhaps i end up setting a point-to-point local network after all. All the best!

Scellow Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm happy to know i helped you , i found this driver after hours of search ^^" 10Mbps is still correct for surfing but it's 1/3 of my real internet connection :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287568-realtek-rtl8105e-only-10mbps-any-chance-for-100mbps/#findComment-1903584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
