iongion Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I currently tried to install some applications that base their validation on the GetMacAddress call, but instead of returning the real network card mac, the system returns a voodoo value of 0x00000005. If i change the AppleSMBIOS.kext from Paulikat to the original AppleSMBIOS.kext then the returned MAC is the real one, but then the "About this Mac" window will crash everything. What is to be done ? (These applications are the ones that base their serial no/key generation on the MAC address of your computer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 DONT SHOUT!!! Thats a common problem for only SSE2 prossesors. Give us some hardware spesifications, it maybe help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotoh Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 10.4.4 loginwindow package from JAS DVD does not fix the issue with original AppleSMBios.kext. it will not allow to get info in ASP hardware tab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iongion Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 I finaly managed to solve this issue without AppleSMBIOS.kext. Just go to : - irc server: irc.osx86.hu - channel: #hackintosh Ask someone to give you an updated IONetworkFamily.kext (with LMHOST/MAYA/DRM fix) The problem is described here : http://www.semthex.com/index.php?option=co...ticle&id=22 I still think that with an updated AppleSMBIOS.kext one wouldnt need to have a different IONetworkFamily.kext, but who knows.
