Hello all!

 

I have just touched Mac OS X (or osx86) for the first time in my life. It installed flawlessly on a presario v5101us, but I can't get the onboard realtek 8139 (that's rtl8139 drivers on linux) to work. I used 10.4.8 JAS iso with SSE2 and AMD support.

 

I search around, and found info about installing tulip and whatnot, but there isn't even "make" on the system.

 

Anyway, I have no idea how to get this working. Can somebody please help or point me to instructions?

 

When I used that "wizard" for network setup, it said that ethernet might not be plugged (which it is - to the cable modem). Where do I start? ifconfig doesn't show the device in question...

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dejan

Try drivers on this page, I have that card also and everything is working fine. Maybe you even have folder with old kext drivers on your hd, you can use them too.

you just have to back up kext in system/library/extensions/ionetworking.kext and then overwrite it with one of those two on this page. Delete extensions.kextcache in library folder and then start disk utilty and repair permisions.

 

Reboot and everything should be fine.

 

Dobro dosao u svet hakovanja OSX-a :rolleyes:
