Sorry, I'm moving to a new home and so the tests I was intending to do will have to wait until the end of this month. But I did download the project and compiled it with Xcode. As soon as I have time to really test it, following your testing recommendations, I'll post here.

 

All the best!

No problem!

@Mieze:

 

I've just tested it and its working perfectly.

The problem I had with the 8169 driver (where OS X always saw the cable as plugged in) seems to have been resolved :)

No performance issues whatsoever so far.

 

On a cosmetic side note though, system profiler says gigabit ethernet instead of fast ethernet.

 

Once again, I cannot thank you enough for you efforts and contributions to this project :)

Hello Dr. Hurt,

 

thanks for testing the driver. I'll fixed that cosmetic issue.

Thanks Mieze!!! Great work!

 

However, my ethernet failed to work after sleep. Network setting shows self-assigned IP, then indicate it is connected to the Internet but actually it is not. So should I tried the debug version to give u more information?

 

btw my ethernet card is 8105E, device id is 0x8136

Good job, my chip is RTL8136, mavericks 10.9.2, test works well. 

Mail/DHCP/sleep&wakeup/AppStore/plug&unplug, WoL haven't test. But all play good.

Yes, please use the debug build and send me the kernel logs.

First connection is around Feb 22 21:55:09, which is before sleep, so it works fine. Then did sleep and wake, plug ethernet to computer, but did not have Internet.

 

According to your log file the connection gets established and the link is up after wakeup.

Feb 22 21:57:55 Mac kernel[0]: Ethernet [RealtekRTL8100]: Link up on en0, 100-Megabit, Full-duplex, No flow-control

Please repeat the test and after wakeup use netstat -i in Terminal to check the packet statistics several times with intervals of a few seconds. Does the number of transmitted/received packets increase (which of them?). This is important in order to track down what is wrong.

Mac:~ peter$ 

en0 is ethernet and en1 is wifi. This is after wakeup, so ethernet is not working. I guess the number not changing? But my wifi is working normally.

Network setting first show this:

After few seconds:

Anyone else here who has tested sleep/wake? Does the network connection work properly after wake? Together with Zythyr, I'm currently preparing a new development release and will post it here as soon as he confirms that it works for him.

The connection works perfectly fine after wake on my Inspiron with RTL8105  :)

Just one more question: which chipset is your RTL8105? You can find the chipset number in the kernel logs.

Zythyr and I, we managed to finish the next development release of the driver. I updated the source code and the binaries attached to the first post of this thread a few minutes ago. Everyone is encouraged to test the new release on her/his system.
