Arkanius Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hello! For years Ive always wanted to have a Machintosh, I think the OS is one of the best in the world, and since Im probably following some technological course, the Machintosh are the way to go (in my opinion). So I gave it a try with JaS repack (10.4.6) and everything went fine. Now like everybody else I have 2 problems: -No sound on my Audigy card (However, Ive managed to get Onboard sound card working, but I want my Audigy Soundcard to work) -No Internet (I feared this one >_<) My motherboard is the Abit AV8 (Onboard LAN is a Gigabit Ethernet Adapter) and I've tried the Tulip (Installed&reboot) and It still says the ethernet cable isnt connected. Any tips? Or is it simply impossible? Oh and Im not sure if this is in the right forum. Moderators, sorry, and please move accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 No drivers for the Audigy. What is the brand and model of the onboard ethernet - like Realtek 8189 or Broadcom 5708 or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkanius Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Gigabit LAN it seems. On my user manual it says: 5. Gigabit LAN . On board Gigabit PCI Ethernet Controller . Operation support ACPI & Wake on LAN. Seems its just Gigabit LAN, if you can point me where I can see with more detail the brand or model, please direct me to the correct option.

Arkanius Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 So this is teh Vendor ID and Brand ID? VEN_1106&DEV_3119? Good... So I guess its that trial and error thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomnic Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Buy a Realtek 8139 based ethernet card, they cost € 8,00 and work like a charm, just like I did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkanius Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hello again. This is what I do in the Trial&Error process sudo -s (your password) cd /System/Library/Extensions/tulip.kext/Contents nano Info.plist I use this ID: 0x31191106 (VEN_1106 DEV_3119) Then I Ctrl + X, save and quit. Then I cd .. two times and do the "kextload tulip.kext" and verify if it detects that the cable is connected. If it doesnt, I restart and try again in a diferent Key. However, Ive tried them all and none seemed to work. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Or is there the possibility of this not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Or is there the possibility of this not working? I already told you: Bad news: No driver solution for OSX But you are welcome to keep playing around. Or go buy a compatible ethernet card.

Arkanius Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Oh I thought you were refering to the Soundcard. Oh well. I guess Ill wait... EDIT: Could there be hope with the 1.4.7 Version? (AMD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Oh I thought you were refering to the Soundcard. No, I told you in my first post that there were no drivers for Audigy. The next several posts were about your ethernet card. Then I posted the details of your ethernet card and in the same post I told you there were no drivers for OSX. How could that be construed as a sound card? Oh well. I guess Ill wait... Could there be hope with the 1.4.7 Version? (AMD) No, 10.4.7 won't help you. I told you there is no solution for a VIA ethernet card in OSX. It will be a long wait. Apple only creates drivers for the hardware it includes in its own systems. Apple is currently using motherboards built by Intel using Intel ethernet. Since Apple is unlikely to ever use a VIA ethernet card, there will be no driver coming from them. Both tomnic and I have suggested you buy an add-on ethernet card. They can be very inexpensive - usually much less than $20. What do we have to do to get through to you?

Arkanius Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Nothing more. This was enough " Since Apple is unlikely to ever use a VIA ethernet card, there will be no driver coming from them." Thank you all for the support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
