Cannot get my rtl8169s gigabit card to work, it doesn't even turns on!, don't know what to do anymore, tried every setting on my bios, with every driver, it's a pci network card on a ecs 945gctm board, the integrated network card works great but it's not gigabit....

 

Did you try RTG MAc 2.03 drivers ?

 

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...p;GetDown=false

 

Or de Psystar opensource driver R1000 v1.08

http://www.psystar.com/opensource/r1000

 

These obove kext are working for many in OSX 10.5...

 

 

For 32K Snowleopard "Bonjour" works for me with "AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext" that I toke inside the RTG MAc 2.03.pkg !

 

:thumbsup_anim:

 

For 64K Snowleopard there is no complete solution for the moment, "Bonjour" doesn't work or is not stable as far as i know.

I'd like to enable bonjour, so i downloaded and installed RTG MAc 2.03.pkg from Realtek's site. It screwed my netwoking at all! :( Uninstalled with attached script, but nothing. I think it modified IONetworkingFamily.kext... :((

Can someone post an untouched IONetworkingFamily.kext please? I really dont' wanna reinstall the system, my snowleo hackintosh works fine exept this bonjour thing....

My Bonjour works with this:

Apple RTL8169Ethernet.kext to put in S/L/E

 

Perhaps you don't even need this IONetworkingFamily.kext

 

Don't you ever used Pacifist ? to pic up only wat you want ?

I found a solution for the RTL8169 issues in snow leopard.

 

Remove AppleHPET/ AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and / AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient

 

Back them up just in case........!!!!

 

Use OSX86 tools on your extensions after removal

and fix permissions

Can anyone recompile applertl8169.kext or R1000 for snow 64 bit?

 

The Apple driver is built into Snow Leopard. I still don't get Bonjour support with it.

 

I tried making the RealtekR1000 driver 64 bit compatible, but it needed a lot more work to make it reliable. I have a much improved version - with many changes based on Realtek's Linux sources - that I am continuing to develop. It needs a lot more work, but I am ready to let a few brave souls try it. I will be releasing it under GPL when it's done. Sources are available now if you ask politely.

 

What works now: 64 bit Snow Leopard, 8111C, GbE basic functionality, cable hot plug/unplug, sleep/wake.

 

What needs testing: 32 bit Snow Leopard, other 8111/8168 chips, other speeds.

 

Not yet implemented: Leopard, jumbo packets, IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload, 8101 and 8169 family chips.

 

WARNING! This is an experimental kext which has not been thoroughly tested. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

 

I am only uploading a debug version at this time. It will generate several lines in your kernel.log file for every packet sent or received. DO NOT USE THIS IN PERFORMANCE CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.

 

If you encounter problems, please PM me so I can see a copy of the kernel.log file.

Si funziona anche se la connessione è più lenta in questa modalità credo.

Inoltre devi impostare il dns come il tuo gateway

ok thanks, i didn't try with 10Mb/s. I always use Manual Setting, because DHCP and P2P isn't the best way.

no sorry I was using the RTGNIC2.0.3.pkg from a leopard install. I posted in the guide I made. Search P5KPL-AM near perfect install.

 

On me iPhone or I would of linked you.

 

I installed the one in this thread but it seemed slower than the one above, so stuck with that and just boot in 32bit snow.

 

I have made a custom dsdt.aml for my mobo on a win xp install.

So most things are sweet. But did not pick up the LAN on the mobo.

I intend to keep developing this, but I have a life and a job... ;)

 

Do you have any problems to report?

 

 

Holla bit shoveler,

 

I do have a problem!!, lol.

 

When i use your driver, It works ok, as i said a lil bit slower than the current one in my system, but when the computer sleeps, and i wake it back up the lan card is still active, but reports it has assigned a self ip address, on both your driver and the one i am using, weird no??

 

Any way any light you can shed on this matter would be a great help, And im glad you have a job and a life or how would you keep paying the broadband bill and eat??? lol.

 

Cheers bud!!
