goodoporn Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hey guys, I installed JaS 10.4.8 onto my dell 700m. The installation went fine, but it does not recognize my onboard lan. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have searched the web and forums to no avail. Everyone I can find says the onboard lan just worked. During installation I installed the essential components, Intel Pack, and all printer drivers. Would installing anything else from the DVD fix this? Thanks for the help!

inzeo Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 If you could, please post more information about your machine, including the exact specs of your LAN device, then more people may be able to help.

eugmoon Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Hey guys, I installed JaS 10.4.8 onto my dell 700m. The installation went fine, but it does not recognize my onboard lan. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have searched the web and forums to no avail. Everyone I can find says the onboard lan just worked. The problem is that Dell doesn't just sell the same computer over and over. They often change small things inside so that later computers with the same model number sometimes have slightly different hardware in them. So, like inzeo said, to solve your problem, you're going to need to be able to tell us exactly what onboard LAN Dell put into your particular 700m. You wouldn't happen to still have Windows XP installed, would you? There's a quick and easy way to find the info by looking at the properties for the LAN in the Device Manager. Otherwise, you're going to need to d/l a Linux boot CD and find out the information that way.

It looks like what you need is the IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.3 which you can find in this post. Then you need to follow the instructions in this post.
