cannon_dt Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hi, I managed to get my Mavericks up and running on my AMD machine and all is well except for internet. My LAN port got fried recently and ever since I have been using a D-Link DGE-528T ethernet PCI card. While this works OOB on my Linux machine I am unable to get this working on my Hackintosh. I have tried so many things but nothing seems to work. 1. I disabled my on board LAN controller on my BIOS but that did not help. 2. I took the RTL8169 kext from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200286-custom-kext-for-d-link-dge-528t-pci-network-card/ but that too did not work. I put this into my S/L/E and into my IONetworkingFamily/Plugins folder but no dice Whatever I do my hackintosh says that there are no PCI cards connected, I am completely stumped and I got no ideas, so please help me out. This is the only thing left for me to do on my mavericks setup, so I request you experts to lend me some advice Peace Ananth Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300686-desperately-need-help-with-ethernet-controller-pci-card/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 found this on google http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/osx/os_x_network_cards.html Looks like this requires a little editing skills.

cannon_dt Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I saw that link already, problem is that the pystar link is dead. And I could not find it anywhere else. Believe me, google had very little to throw up and I did exhaust all that I stumbled upon Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300686-desperately-need-help-with-ethernet-controller-pci-card/#findComment-2057889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

oculto Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CY0P7G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and do this on linux: sudo -s apt-get install ethtool ethtool -E eth0 magic 0x10D38086 offset 0x16 value 0x00 ethtool -E eth0 magic 0x10D38086 offset 0x17 value 0x00 ethtool -E eth0 magic 0x10D38086 offset 0x1A value 0xF6 Reboot. This will change the device-id and sub-ids to be OOB on mavericks. I did this last week and worked fantastic.

cannon_dt Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks for the response but I just bought my D-Link card. Also I cannot find this PCI card out here in India. Is there some thing like this that I can try for the card that I already have and is working with Linux?
