changs Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hello there. I've just installed Mac OS X 10.4.9 by Uphuck 1.3 and I've got same problem with network connection. I've got two network cards. First is RTL8139 that works properly on Mac OS X 10.4.6 by Jas and a second one is "NVIDIA nForce networking controller". I think OSX recognize both of them properly because it shows their MAC addresses and types correctly. The problem is it always shows this: "The cable for PCI Ethernet Slot ethernet is not plugged in" but it very is. Their green diodes shine. I have no idea why OSX doesn't recognize that the cables are plugged in. Please help. I've just noticed that my post isn't probably in the right section. If any of the moderators could move this topic to hardware section I'd be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimnzl Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi changs, I had a similar problem on my dual Marvell 88E8056 MB, the fix for me was a little annoying. I have to have both plugged in. It does not matter if the second is actually doing anything but it need an active link. Along the same lines, I *must* have the first card plugged in. Unplugging and plugging also can make the link come up as active in the System Preferences. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
