IgnorantAlmond Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Currently running JaS 10.4.7 on my hackintosh, and having issues with the Marvell Yukon onboard NIC that came included with my 915GEVLK. Did some research on these friendly boards, but didn't come up with anything that worked (downloaded both forcedeth and m.musashi, but neither worked...) Given that I've tried both kexts, should I be unloading/deleting a kext when I install a new one? Are these the correct kexts to be installing for the card? Any help is always useful. Gracias.

IgnorantAlmond Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Wow...the prospect of this working without a new kext is fantastic, let alone the fact that I didn't search a helluva lot before posting... Thanks a ton. You've been a load of help. (Don't have the opportunity to try now, but will try in the morning...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkr41 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Same controller (88E8038) and same problem here. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelcerca Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm on a 915GEVLK board here as well. My AppleYukon.kext has been modified to work since 10.4.3. Right now I'm running 10.4.9 with no problems except that if I'm not using the network connection in any way (no internet surfing or torrenting), the connection turns off. System Profiler says that the network cable is not plugged in. Any ideas? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habeas Corpus Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It works for me I have 88E8039. At first boot I don't have a new port on my network. Then I reboot again but this time I put the LAN cable first before booting to osx and it shows. Thanks DiaboliK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
