MauroAny Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hello, I bought the notemook Toshiba Satellite A110-378 and after the OSX installation I had 2 problems, network & audio didn't work. I followed a guide to enable audio successfully. I'm now trying to find info about the network. I have a Realtek and on Linux I had to download the drivers from Realtek home site. The driver supports these cards: 1. RTL8169S/SB/SC (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI interface) 2. RTL8168B (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI-Express interface) 3. RTL8101E (Fast Ethernet with PCI-Express interface) Is there any way to enable my network card under moac osx? I think that my network card is the third. Thx a lot, Mauro Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29044-need-for-realtek-drivers-for-card-rtl8101e/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 8169 - should work natively 8168 - no solution 8101 - people reported it working in old versions of OSX Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29044-need-for-realtek-drivers-for-card-rtl8101e/#findComment-199454 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Well, it's a PCI-E network card. Is thereanyone that can help me setting it up? Not until you know what model you have. As you can see by my previous answer, the solution is different (or nonexistent) depending upon what model you have. It's sort of like saying I have a car and it doesn't run. What's wrong with it? Without specific information, there is no way to know. Go to Windows. Go to Device Manager. Find your ethernet card under Network Devices. Read the model number. Get Properties on the device. Click the Details tab. Get the vendor id and device id (following VEN and DEV).

MauroAny Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 This is the output of "lspci -nvv" about my network card: //OUTPUT START 05:00.0 0200: 10ec:8136 (rev 01) Subsystem: 1179:ff00 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size 10 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at 4000 Region 2: Memory at da000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [virtual] Expansion ROM at d4000000 [disabled] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0-,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [48] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable- Address: 0000000000000000 Data: 0000 Capabilities: [60] Express Endpoint IRQ 0 Device: Supported: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0, ExtTag+ Device: Latency L0s <1us, L1 unlimited Device: AtnBtn+ AtnInd+ PwrInd+ Device: Errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- Device: RlxdOrd+ ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop+ Device: MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 512 bytes Link: Supported Speed 2.5Gb/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s, Port 0 Link: Latency L0s unlimited, L1 unlimited Link: ASPM Disabled RCB 64 bytes CommClk+ ExtSynch- Link: Speed 2.5Gb/s, Width x1 Capabilities: [84] Vendor Specific Information Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [12c] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [148] Device Serial Number 36-81-ec-10-00-00-10-01 Capabilities: [154] Power Budgeting //OUTPUT END I think that 10ec = VENDOR ID and 8136 = DEVICE ID On linux I use a driver from realtek that supports model specified in my first post.

Rammjet Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 There is no history on the board of anyone getting your ethernet card to work. If you are brave, you can try the following: - Use Terminal to edit a file using the following command: sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext/Contents/Info.plist - Change the string "0x813910ec" to "0x813610ec" - Press Control-O to save and Control-X to exit. - Use Terminal to delete a couple of cache files and repair permissions: sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext (give your password) sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo diskutil repairPermissions / - Reboot If this causes problems, repeat the process and restore the "8136" back to "8139" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29044-need-for-realtek-drivers-for-card-rtl8101e/#findComment-199685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauroAny Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Unfortunately it doesn't work I followed your instructions on the 2 RTL's drivers unsuccessfully What can I do??

Rammjet Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Buy a new Ethernet card. Realtek 8139 should work if you restore the "8139". Otherwise, look at the Wiki compatibility lists to find a card that works: http://wiki.osx86project.org/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29044-need-for-realtek-drivers-for-card-rtl8101e/#findComment-199725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
