iMatt B. Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 OK Ive seen this post a few times so I decided to post a topic. With the release of 10.4.10, or possibly with 10.4.9, the file /library/systemconfiguration/networkinterfaces.plist is no longer there. Instead they are substituted with some *.bundles. The problem is, in the fix for the atheros card, you need to switch the en0 to en1 in that file. Now the weirdest part Is I found the same file under /library/preferences/system configuration/ but after changing it and a reboot, it switched back to en0. I attempted to lock the file and then the os created "networkinterfaces.plist-new" with of course the en back to 0. After this I tried to lock the entire folder and then it just ignored the file altogether. SO, any ideas?

darthmac Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Same thing here. I have a Toshiba U300-NS1 with Atheros 5006. I try to edit that file and it changes back by itself. Plus there's missing part in that file. There's only information for the Firewire connection. I compared with my desktop Hackintosh and there's 2 another parts missing. One for Ethernet and one for Wifi. I'd like to complete the file but I'm missing the IOMACaddress and IOPathMatch parts. I also tried a lot of the other solutions in the forums but none are working. I have XxX OS x86 10.4.10 installed. Any help would be appreciated.

iMatt B. Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ok, the solution to this problem was a bit less complicated than it thought it was. Using the networkinterfaces.plist in the latter folder mentioned, I did not change the <integer>1</integer> to 1, just the en1. After I did that it worked beautifully. <dict><key>BSD Name</key> <string>en1</string> <key>IOBuiltin</key> <false/> <key>IOInterfaceType</key> <integer>6</integer> <key>IOInterfaceUnit</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>IOLocation</key> <string></string> <key>IOMACAddress</key> <data> ABbOATB3 </data> <key>IOPathMatch</key> <string>IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/PCIB@1E/IOPCI2PCIBridge/ethernet@5/AirPort_Athr5424/AtherosInterface</string> </dict> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65767-atheros-wifi-10410-networkinterfacesplist/#findComment-470571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthmac Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hi, thanks! I'm not sure which of the two file I edited but I'm going to try again.
