igotpop Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi, i have a prescott 3.4 2.5 gigs ram optiplex with onboard ethernet card. I installed 10.4.8 JaS and followed instructions in wiki to get onboard ethernet working. It works fine and i haev internet running until i restart the computer after which i get an error saying that AppleBCMIntel.kext cannot be used. Then the internet just then stops working. I have to redo the instructions and copy in the patched kext file everytime i restart to use the internet. Does someone know of a workaroudn for this? Thnx in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50395-internet-stops-working-after-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Did you repair permissions? in terminal, do diskutil repairPermissions XXXX where xxxx == your disk identifier. To figure your disks' ident., do diskutil list Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50395-internet-stops-working-after-install/#findComment-360579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

igotpop Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 well anyways i fixed this problem myself by writing a 2 line applescript code that repeats the installation steps at startup. if anyone else has the same problem ive attached my script, just change "yourpassword" to your password and replace 00:00:00:00:00:00 with your actual MAC address. save as an application and set it up to run at startup using account settings in system prefenences, and you're good to go.

NeSuKuN Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 when using unofficial/modified kexts, sometimes the system can't guess the appropiate permissions, repair them manually. sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleBCMIntel.kext; sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleBCMIntel.kext; sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50395-internet-stops-working-after-install/#findComment-401895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
