DvP Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 My only solution with the 680i was a wireless usb device (WG111v3) and connecting only pata devices. MeDevils Sata Driver and other Lan dongles caused all freezes. Even Realtek PCI 8139 and D-Link wireless USB which is supposed to work. But now its stable.

bencousens Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi, I have the eVGA 680i and having read this thread it seems it's not even worth my while trying to get my (now finally stable) Leopard built to work with this driver. Can anyone recommend a modern wireless USB dongle that I can just plug in that will work straight away with no driver installs needed? Preferably Netgear as I have a Netgear router (I like continuity).

gigolo19 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hello, my problem is that leopard only loads this driver when it boots in safe mode, but when it starts on normal mode, it says: nForceEthernetController.kext couldn´t be loaded.

Bryce Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just want to add that your drivers are working successfully on gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 although experiencing KP during transfers with packet size greater than 200. Solved that with booting cpus=1. Now computer is 100% fully functional!

moskito99 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 still our goal should be to make it work with 2 cpus...:-) any future devlopements on that? mine is a beauty with 1 cpu...all running fine with the network driver....but once i have 2 cpus it crashes with a lil load....

r0bi Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 This was the only kext that worked for me, thank you very much! I do have to pass "cpus=1" as a boot option though, still better than no internet though.

yibbet Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yey! I nearly gave up and went out to get a pci card but then I found this. It works fine here, no probs at all. Been downloading loads of stuff and surfing the net for a couple of days now. I didn't do anything special, just installed it, rebooted and connection agogo.

Menotti Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 any update on a stable Leopard version? I was able to get an IP and connect without issue in Leopard and an AMD dual core, but the machine will lock up if I try to do anything too strenuous (sometimes even loading a large webpage) In the meantime, do I need to pass cpu=1? (where can I do that? sorry, I am new to this) Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73317-ethernet-driver-for-marvell-88e1116/page/7/#findComment-739821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
moskito99 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 ....cpus=1.... hit f8 while booting....and enter "cpus=1"....or edit your boot.plist...this way u boot with one cpu....however our goal should be to work on 2 cpus :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73317-ethernet-driver-for-marvell-88e1116/page/7/#findComment-740275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
robump Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Is it worth buying a WG111V3 because i am currently using a rtl8139 and it is so unstable it is stupid. I am running TOH leopard upgraded to 10.5.2 using kalyways combo update, and it is all working quite nicely. I have a Evga 680i board.

guitarpat2 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Great work on the nforce driver! I have an Asus p5n32-e li plus MB 680i chipset Running Leo4all3 Everything runs perfect on this board (with a little help of course) I used your original unplug method to get the ethernet ports working I recently had a problem with my HD and so had to reinstall leo -I installed exactly the way as before- Now I cannot get the ethernet working I download the file again from insanelymac I open terminal and followed instruction type sudo -s enter password after first command: _I get the message that "no such extension exists" several times I have tried all night long and everything that I can think of to get it running agian It seems like the download from insanelymac has changed somehow and is missing a file or something. Do you have any ideas? Thanks again for the hard work I'M RUNNING XP AGAIN** Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73317-ethernet-driver-for-marvell-88e1116/page/7/#findComment-748578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cking2729 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 The ethernet driver works great on my EVGA 680i board with the exception of occasional lockups. I am running iATKOS v1r3. Overall, I have had slim to no problems with the system other than it being finicky with external USB drives and not liking high download rates. If I'm downloading at more than 20 kb/s and browsing, it generally locks up sooner or later. If this could get fixed in the forthcoming Leopard driver, my hackintosh will be perfect.

moskito99 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 everyone confirms that the driver is working like a charm.....with cpu=1 though..... is there any work done by someone on making this work with 2 cores...from my side i would pay a few bucks via paypal just to get a dualcore driver working......cpu=1 really sucks :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73317-ethernet-driver-for-marvell-88e1116/page/7/#findComment-757806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
robump Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 It would be really nice to have one working with 2 cores, it must be possible.

rollerdead Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 HOW TO INSTALL:- Place the kext file on your desktop- Start "Terminal" and type the following commands:- "sudo -s"- Type you password.- "cp -R ~/desktop/nForceEthernetController.kext /system/library/extensions/"- "chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/nForceEthernetController.kext- "chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/nForceEthernetController.kext"- "rm -f /system/library/extensions.*"- "diskutil repairpermissions /"- "exit"- Close "Terminal"- Shutdown the computer and take the power cord off (IMPORTANT!)- Wait 30 secs. and turn it back on (plug the power cord back in first tongue.gif )Hopefully it will come back up with your ethernet controller working!i follow the instruction but i got some error "System extension cannot be used" the system extensions "/system/library/extensions/nForceEthernetController.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product vendor for an update.i already reinstalle but i got same..any solution?thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73317-ethernet-driver-for-marvell-88e1116/page/7/#findComment-758709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
