time ed Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Has anyone found a driver for this NIC? If no, can anyone suggest a work-around - apart from suggesting a PCI NIC (which I will install if nothing else)? [EDIT 8.9.07] I installed a Netgear GA311 with great results.

neikous Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I had this NIC working in OSX versions 10.4.8 thru 10.4.10 but can't get it going in Leopard for some reason I have the same motherboard as you (P5LP-LE) I wish I kept the kexts before switching to leopard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58374-intel-82562v-nic-ekron-n-chip/#findComment-491712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
time ed Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I FINALLY got this working! Here's what you do: 1. cd to System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/ 2. add this: 0x27dc8086 to the <string> line below <key>IOPCIMatch</key> in Info.plist 3. cd back to System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext and move or rename AppleIntel8254XEthernet.kext 4. delete Extensions.mkexts from System/Library and rebuild kext cache (kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/) 5. repair permissions and reboot Note: please read these threads to understand which types of 82562v NIC's will work with this fix: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=661506 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=664505 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=14840 Enjoy!!

skierguy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I am going to try these last instructions, one question though: how do I repair permissions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58374-intel-82562v-nic-ekron-n-chip/#findComment-660932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierguy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Help me a little guys! Here is exactly what I did so far (in terminal): open /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/Info.plist then I edit the file, adding " 0x27dc8086" after all the other hex (is this correct) then I save, but it says I don't have permission to edit the file... Sooo, how do I edit this file??? I tried in linux too, but I didn't have permission to save the file.. cd doesnt seem to change directory for me, my directory stays at the default directory for my user in Terminal...

You are making the correct edit. However, to work with system files you must su to root: sudo -s [password] sudo [command] e.g.: sudo nano info.plist To verify ownership and permissions: ls -al To set ownership and permissions: sudo chown root:wheel <file name> sudo chmod 755 <file name> Or, for good measure, try diskutil: sudo diskutil repairPermissions / Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58374-intel-82562v-nic-ekron-n-chip/#findComment-661393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
