Mageek Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 My Dell Laptop is mostly running with 10.9.2. My main problem is that I can't get the internal wifi Atheros AR9565 802.11 to work or the internal LAN which is a Realtek RTL 8139/810x fast Ethernet adapter to work. Does anyone have a kext that would work? I have tried updating the IO80211Family.kext to include my device as well as some DSDT edits. DPCi Manager reports: 168C, 0036, 1028, 020C, Qualcomm Atheros, QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter 10EC, 8136, 1028, 05EC, Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd., RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller My system uses the Haswell i7-4500 ULT cpu and has HD4400 GPU. That all is working fine. I had to use the hack on the mach_kernel to get past the initial panic error but since then I have made slow but sure progress getting things going. Editing the DSDT is not my forte and a lot has changed since my first hack several years ago. My question is which path should bear fruit? I can try to hack kexts that are close or try find DSDT patches that will get it going. I have no idea what is best to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mageek Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I see a few folks have looked at my problem but no help. I have made a little progress on my own but still no go. On the Athernos wifi, I was able to modify the Atheros40.kext but the IONetworkFamily is looking for a plugin to match. Any suggestions as to where to look or try to find a plugin? On the Realtek 8139 I am close but no cigar. I used IONetfamily and added a AppleRTL8139.kext to the plugin folder. I left the info.list unmodified to my device address so it doesn't load. Next installed the PCGenRTL8139.kext in my s/l/e folder and bingo! I have an ethernet card. It sees all the pertinent info like mac address and so on. So what is the problem? It says my cable is unplugged. I have tried manual settings but no luck. My cable is not unplugged as it works fine when I reboot in windows 8.1. My sense is that the PCGen kext is just too far out of date. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mageek Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Okay, I am getting really close. I am using Laura Millers latest Realtek RTL8111.kext I can now see the cable plugging in and out. says ethernet is connected but can't auto sense my internet connection. Putting the values in manually doesn't get me there. log shows: 2014-03-25 23:47:49 -0700 kernel[0]: Ethernet [RealtekRTL8111]: EEE support enabled. 2014-03-25 23:47:49 -0700 kernel[0]: Ethernet [RealtekRTL8111]: TCP/IPv4 segmentation offload enabled. 2014-03-25 23:47:49 -0700 WindowServer[128]: Server is starting up 2014-03-25 23:47:49 -0700 kernel[0]: Ethernet [RealtekRTL8111]: TCP/IPv6 checksum offload enabled. 2014-03-25 23:47:49 -0700 kernel[0]: Ethernet [RealtekRTL8111]: Using interrupt mitigate value 0xcf68. 2014-03-25 23:47:49 -0700 kernel[0]: unknown chip version (44800000) my system info shows: Realtek RTL8168B/8111B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet: Name: ethernet Type: Ethernet Controller Bus: PCI Vendor ID: 0x10ec Device ID: 0x8136 Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1028 Subsystem ID: 0x05ec Revision ID: 0x0007 Link Width: x1 BSD name: en0 Kext name: RealtekRTL8111.kext Location: /System/Library/Extensions/RealtekRTL8111.kext Version: 1.1.3 annoying but close, any suggestions out there?

Mageek Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I am on with the help of the Hackintosh Vietnam tool. it was the rtl8100 kext that solved the problem. for wifi I am using a usb pivot that works fine so I will close this thread.
