thegodfaza Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I can't get OS X to connect to the internet. I am using the ethernet port on my mobo which is a Realtek RTL8139. I can see it under System Profiler but when I go to my network settings it says the network cable is unplugged. I know it works because I duel boot Windows and OS X. I did a search of the forum and the results didn't work. My kernel version is 8.8.1 I tried this solution but it didn't work.

directedition Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Use Pacifist to open the Install Disc and search for IONetworkingFamily.kext from October of 2005. Extract it and put it in /System/Library/Extensions (replace the one that's there) then search for tulip.kext on this website. Then do this in Terminal: (stolen from a post somewhere, sorry I can't remember) sudo bash Password: ****** cp -R tulip.kext /System/Library/Extensions cd /System/Library/Extensions ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext 3) Reboot 4) Run System Preferences, Network to set up your network.

thegodfaza Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thank you. That actually works. I've looked on the internet for a long time and couldn't find a solution.
