zhjm_13 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 First,sorry to trouble you. But I need your help. I have tried the way to install the netcard driver http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=12933 but when I completed the step9 l(oad the kext). My nic's LAN Light goes down(not only the nic, but also the netcard's light is becoming black). What should I do? Should I use other kext like forcedeth-nockd.kext or others? BTW,the nic's Lan light was shinning before I complete step 9 1. Download the attached driver 2. Extract the contents onto the desktop 3. Open the Terminal application in the Applications/Utilities folder 4. Type "tail -f /var/log/system.log" to obtain debugging output for the first run. 5. Use the menu bar to open up a new Terminal window. 6. In this new window, type "cd ~/Desktop/forcedeth/build/Release" 7. sudo chown -R root:wheel forcedeth.kext 8. sudo chmod -R 755 forcedeth.kext 9. sudo kextload -v forcedeth.kext nForce 550 AMD 64 3000+ Netcard ID:{1A3E09BE-1E45-494B-9147-D738B45BBF5}\NVNET_DEV0373\4&224BFD2D&0&00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Should I use other kext like forcedeth-nockd.kext or others?Netcard ID:{1A3E09BE-1E45-494B-9147-D738B45BBF5}\NVNET_DEV0373\4&224BFD2D&0&00 Is it possible that drivers of nforce550 chipset is not being in the world? Well, there are no other drivers to try besides these. There are 4 different kexts in the forcedeath package. Maybe one of the others will help. I checked them and they all contain the id (0373) for your card, so give them a try. These are the 4 different kexts in the package: forcedeth-nockd.kext forcedeth-nock.kext forcedeth-d.kext forcedeth.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Surfer Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have the same device ID and the drivers don't work for me: I get a message long the lines of:- Device 0x10DE:0x0373 is not known to work. ------------------------------------------------------------- It gets enabled anyway but the problem is that it is stuck with a self assigned IP. I set it manually and I still can't ping out at all. Set the link speed manually and that doesn't help either. Disabled IPv6 and it's the same.
