Blinkin Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I've read numerous Intel PRO/100 VE threads and have made a few attempts to get networking working, but I am stuck. Â I've tried adding '0x27dc8086' to .../IONetworkingFamily.kext/.../AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/Info.plist (as mentioned in the '[HowTo] Fix Network Problem with Intel PRO/100 VE' thread). I've also tried using the 'old 8255x.kext' mentioned at post #25 and with no luck. Â I have a Dell Dimension 5100 with the Intel PRO/100 VE built in ethernet device (VEN_8086,DEV_27DC). Â When I run 'kextload -v .../IONetworkingFamily.kext/.../AppleIntel8255x.kext', it returns errors stating 'unable to register module with kernel' and 'a link/load error occured' for the AppleIntel8255x.kext module. I don't see any messages from 'dmesg' nor in the system.log. Â How can I further debug this? What else I can try? This is the first of a few things I'd like to get working.

Blinkin Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Oh yeah, I've installed 10.4.8 (JaS AMD Intel SSE2/3). Machine is Pent4 3Ghz (HT, EM64T), 1G ram.

tuxuser33 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Is that the reason? http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapt...b/cs-008340.htm   The PRO/100 VE adapter does not work in a PCI slot. It will only work in a Communication and Network Riser (CNR) slot in computers that have this slot and utilize the Intel 82801BA I/O controller hub (a.k.a. ICH2), such as the Intel D815EEA motherboard.

Blinkin Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 No, that's not the reason. The nic is integrated. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Blinkin Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 BTW, here is the actual error: Â $ sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext appears to be valid kextload: loading extension /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext kextload: loaded version 1.5.0 of module com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily differs from requested version com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily kextload: unable to register module with kernel kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext load failed for extension /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output) Â Â Running with -t does not appear to give any more detailed information (other than 'kextload: kext ... is not valid' for a bunch of other modules).

zeroxcape Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I would also like help with this issue. I have a Dell Dimension 5150 (same network card), and I cannot get the integrated card to work either. Any suggestions from people who have successfully installed 10.4.8 JaS would be a big help.

The Shaun Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) Have you used Windows or Linux to verify that it's your correct Device ID? If so, just do this:  Get the AppleIntel8255x.kext and put it in the /System/Library/Extensions folder. Don't worry about the IONetworkingFamily kext. You're not going to use that if you're using the 0x27dc8086 device ID. I didn't have to at least. Edit the info.plist to reflect the number. Save it. Go to the terminal and type:  sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntel8255x.kext then sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntel8255x.kext then sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntel8255x.kext  If it loads the kernel extension with no errors, then delete the Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache files. Just to be on the safe side, repair permissions:  sudo diskutil repairPermissions /  Reboot and go the Network Prefpane. It should bring up a dialog telling you that it found a new network device. Hit Apply and it should automatically grab your IP and you'll be on your way.

douche Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I, too, have an Intel Pro/100 VE NIC and canNOT get it working under JaS 10.4.8 Intel SSE2.SSE3 w/ppf. I tried everything the original poster did (i.e. Modifying IONetworkingFamily.kext w/ correct device + Vendor ID, replacing AppleIntel8255z.kext from 10.4.3...) Except, the error i get happens after i type in sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntel8255x.kext in Terminal. Here is the error: Â can't add Kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntel8255x.kext (not a bundle) (run kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output) Â What does this mean? Unforutnately, typing -t does absolutely nothing. What can i do...

Blinkin Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Finally got it working!! Thanks to all for your help!  This is what worked for me:  Download IONetworkingFamily 10.4.3.kext.zip from this thread (thanks director_atx!)

Sweeeet. Now, on to sound, lilo triple boot, accelerated graphics and hey - my Home and End keys aren't working. Hmm.

zman442 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 What's the error you were getting with my method? Â Â At the risk of sounding stupid, how exactly do I copy something to the system with no networking, floppy and USB do not work on this system as well.

Mebster Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I should give this a go. I ended up buying a Ethernet PCI card (which works fine) because although many had been able to get it working even after weeks of trying mine didn't.
