I'm having the same problem with this motherboard as well. I not sure if Tiger (10.4) supports that network controller. If you look in the /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext there are plugins for AppleIntel8254x & AppleIntel8255x. Since we have a 8256x controller, I don't think it'll work. I've tried starting a thread but no one can confirm this. I've read on other threads of people getting their 8257x controllers working, so I don't know if my theory is 100% correct.

Hmm I'll have too look into that.

For now im working on another solution, hopefully it works and we can get more hackintoshes on the net without a trip to walmart.

 

Right now I just installed virtual machine software(parallels free trial)..and I am currently installing XP, I'm going to mount a USB network card to the virtual machine and then use ICS (internet connection sharing) to share the physical connection to the virtual bridge between OSX and XP. Hopefully I can get OSX to recognize theres an internet connection on that virtual network adapter. And...then have a fully functioning install.

 

Talk about being creative...If i can make this work ill put a write up on it if there isnt one already so we can get some TCP/IP deprived macs on the net.
