sam9879 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 1) If PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext is at the both locations i.e. /System/Library/Extensions & [ii] /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ the kext is loaded but i get error as following: and "dmesg | grep 8139" gives results as below 2) If PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext is only at one locations i.e. /System/Library/Extensions then kext load fails with no PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext in the System Profiler. i feel i'm very near, but dont know what exactly i'm doing wrong... how to make PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext to act as plug-in of IONetworkingFamily.kext i.e. /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ without making two copies of PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext as one is already there in /System/Library/Extensions ??

orByte Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 1) If PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext is at the both locations i.e. /System/Library/Extensions & [ii] /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ ... Delete one of the two (e.g., /System/Library/Extensions) , then fix permissions, and reboot with the -f flag. That should do it. You only need one. Two will create a problem. You could also delete both, then reinstall one at either location. Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam9879 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Solved...! I just tried anathor LAN card from the RealTek which shows RTL8139/810x on windows, and it has 8139c printed on it instead of 8139d. and booommm... it worked as soon as i restarted the system after plugging it in without installing any kext what so ever...!!

zenchess Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thankyou. Thankyou. Thankyou. I installed mac os x 10.4.9 tubgirl release today on my amd 64 e-machines computer... Sound didn't work but I found a realtek pkg on this forum, worked great. My ethernet did not work so first I tried using the nforce4 kext, it didn't work at all... I noticed my other computer had an old ethernet card so I tried plugging that in. Mac os had a new kext error message. I had no idea what kind of ethernet card this was but I searched for the error message on this forum and came to your post. I did the 'risk takers' approach and went into system preferences>networking and low and behold built in ethernet was finally detected. I now have a fully working mac os x system! (i think) So you can add that this will work with 10.4.9, at least the tubgirl amd release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fekafil Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi guys! I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pa1510 notebook, with Realtek 8139 ethernet, and installed Uphuck 1.4a successfully, but i dont have internet. I think Airport would work, but i cant test it right now. I tried with AppleRTL8139 modified and this PCGenRTL, but still, when i want to look at the network preferences it crashes, saying unexpected quit. Crash report says:Exc_bad_access, and Kern_invalid_id_address (0X0001) at 0Xa3250002. I dont know what to do, i followed the steps written here step to step. I deleted all instances of AppleRTL, and only PCGenRTL is shown in system profiler in software->Extensions Still nothing. Crashes all the time. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dab Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 using add-in PCI card RTL8139 (white box, unknown)nic detected as Realtek1000 both before AND after installing PCGenRTL8139Ethernet-1.2.0 (as shown in System Profiler extensions pane) had to backup and delete RealtekR1000.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/contents/plugins folder before it worked I'm guessing the RealtekR1000.kext was getting called before the PCGenRTL8139Ethernet.kext since both had <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x816910ec</string> in their info.plist files, probably stops searching after first match it may even have been enough to just do this since it's an add-in card rather than onboard and there's already an AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext installed by default - but haven't tested this. Just in case it helps anyone else. It helped. Thanks a lot. The card was al-cheapo RTL8139D based. Have to delete the RealtekR1000.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h von h Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 hi, If I'm right, I can get my onboard RTL8139 Ethernet working on my uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4, if I use a kext from Tubgirl's appropriate release. Would someone help me and email it to me? having no other downloading opportunity, just my non-working osx86 laptop, I could hardly go on without your kind help... please pm me, if you could send me this kext! thanks in advance!

monsoft Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 In installation information file there is a path to delete AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext directory rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext But additional this driver is located in another location and in some situation (like I was) system hang out after start.

bubugugu Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 My onboard 8139 is very slow with the leopard stock driver, and older versions of ionetworkingfamily don't work (appears as cable disconnected) anyone can make this to work with IONetworkingfamily.kext from leopard? maybe recompile this?

Hey Pal, I made that mistake long time ago, actually my Dlink DFE-538TX is a Via Rhine Chip based NIC. I am using the driver from www.pinxue.net. It works for me under tiger and Leo! Make sure exact chip your NIC is using, then apply correct driver... Good Luck, Envying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
