leopard ethernet problem

[Brucep]

hi there.. i have updated my Jaz 10.4.8 osx tiger to the Toh 10.5 RC2 leopard.. when i boot for the first time.. there is no sound and no internet.. but i copy the applehda.kext and the ionetworkingfamily.kext , repair permisions and reboot and boila.. internet and sound work just fine like in tiger..

 

so i turn on my pc the next day.. and.. it wasnt connected to the internet, i open the net settings in the system preferences and it says that the cable was unpugged.. ??.. i search in the forums and it says that i have to replace the ionetworking kext.. but ive already do that to have internet in the first time.. (and it worked! at the first restart) .. then i tried to make a clean install of the osx tiger and leopard.. no internet no sound.. replace kexts.. sound and internet at the first restart... no internet at the seccond restart with the unplugged cable issue.. (ive already deleted the kextcache and no luck)..

 

My pc is a pentium D 3.0 Ghz with an d945gnt (ICH7 with intel pro 10/100)..

 

please can anybody help me?? (PS: sorry for my poor english!)

in terminal

 

sudo -s

(type password)

 

cp -R (location of kext) /System/Library/Extensions

 

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

sorry rufus, when you say the kext location.. you are talking about the location of the ionetworking that is already overwritten (by the old tiger version) in the leopard´s extensions folder??

 

so it will be something like this??:

 

cp -R /System/Library/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions ?

 

 

thanks

Same situation I was in. To get mine to work after reboots I read that it will work only after you manually reload kexts at boot with -f. This forces rebuilding of extensions cache so you want to put the -f under the kernel flags between <string></string>.

 

sudo -s

(enter your password)

 

nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

So you'll see a bunch of info, look for <key>Kernel Flags</key>, then under it you'll see <string></string>. Change the string line to look like this: <string>-f</string>. Then ctrl+x, then y, then enter. Reboot.

 

Go to this URL to see how to do it: http://www.neonkoala.co.uk/content/view/33/34

 

Hope that works for you too.

no no no

 

the location of the kext your copying

 

for instance if it's on the desktop it would be

 

cp -R /Users/(your user name)/Desktop/IONetworkingFamily.kext/

ok... thank you for all.. now i have internet..

 

sorry about my dumb question, i wasnt familiary with the terminal commands.. (now i know that cp -r it is copy and replace.. just like in dos prompt!!)

 

Coldgirl, what you say i have already tried it.. and it didnt work for me..

 

First I did what ruffus told me.. and no luck, same problem as always.. but then i tried the -f string and yes!! it worked now!!

 

so i modified the boot plist and now im done! full speed internet conecction (even the green light!

 

 

thank you very much!

Heres what worked for me on the Cable unplugged problem

 

- Go to System Preferences, Click on the network icon.

- On the left pane select your ethernet, on the right pane where it says "Configure" select "off".

- Click apply.

- Now back to "Configure" select "Using DHCP". Click apply.

- Wait a few second for your ethernet to get an IP
