x512dev Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 It seems like OS X's system profiler isnt recognizing my PCI ethernet card based on the Realtek RTL8139 Series. It' also doesnt recognize any other PCI cards in my system. My motherboard also has built-in ethernet (this is the same Xpress 200-based system that I had ATA trouble with) It boots, and everything runs, just, i'd like to have ethernet....It recognizes my onboard firewire as a network port strangely -512 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41468-network-card-troubles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

x512dev Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have seen that the Apple Realtek8139 kext is loaded, but it cant run because it can't find valid versions of IONetworkingfamily.kext and IOPCIfamily.kext , even though they're loaded too. Does anyone know where to find the latest versions of these for 10.4.7? -512 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41468-network-card-troubles/#findComment-296713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IanP Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Click on the first link I showed you, then on the second bullet, click on "link." Actually, before you do that, repair disk permissions in disk utility (are you getting the "Extension not properly installed" message after startup? if so, repari disk permissions) Edited February 8, 2007 by IanP Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41468-network-card-troubles/#findComment-296781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
x512dev Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Fixed it. Installed the kexts from 10.4.3 (both PCI and Networking) and set the right perms, and all is well. -512 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41468-network-card-troubles/#findComment-296940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
