u1m2 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 perhaps you can try to replace ionetworkingfamily.kext with the one from 10.4.3... many people seem to complain about 10.4.8 networking kext...

jonl Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 That kext, could you forward to me or attach? I've tried 10.4.8 and 10.4.6 to no avail. 10.4.3 seems to be the winner according to other folk. BTW, did you do the following before reboot: sudo -s cd / cd /System/Library/Extensions/ ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions rm /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/* kextcache -c Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48692-jas-1048-ethernet/#findComment-349119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuliand Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Ye i can give you the file if you pm your email or something it won't let me upload it as it's over 2mb. No i didn't that stuff in the terminal mainly because i didn't know how so i just did fix permisions from the disk utility but i guess it has the same effect.

u1m2 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 @kuliand : Actually flushing the kextcache using the console commands seems to be important after replacing/adding kexts. Please try the steps Jon mentioned and check in system profiler (about this mac->more info) ->extensions if the dependencies of the kext is resolved. check this link also http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=42782 @Jon : the 10.4.3 networking files can be downloaded along with many other useful files if you just check the link I have posted http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36886 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48692-jas-1048-ethernet/#findComment-349170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrArC Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I think I'm having a similar issue, I have a PCI based Intel Pro 10/100 that worked fine in 10.4.6... just made another thread on it actually. I tried copying some kexts but not IONetworkingFamily. Should it appear in the system profiler as an unidentified PCI device if it's not installed as a network card, though?

CrArC Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Just confirming that using the IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.3 build works fine with my Pro 10/100 as long as kextcache is flushed on my system too... what's changed in the 10.4.8 kext to make it so useless..?
