leoprell Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hello all, almost there with my firsat install of leopard. I have tried everthing, every patch, every kext and i cannot get my intel 100VE ethernet to work in leopard. It never shows my built in ehtenet. What i am doing wrong? I have red people that got it to work.... This is what i've tried: 1) past the kext into System/Library/Extensions ; put in a few comands in terminal and deletinf extensions.mkext and extensions.kextcache (i dont have this file). As it didnt work i tried the following 2) Change some parameters in IONetworkingFamily or something like that.. no work from this one.. Than i'vw tried the following 3) Paste kext into System/Library/Extensions; running some comands in terminal, manually load the kext, clear kext cache (the comand is kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/) then another comand in terminal to force reload drivers on next boot. So thats it.. nothing works for me..... Any ideas, sugestions, hopes, sorry etc. Thanks for any help....

time ed Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 The first thing to do is find the chipset ID of your onboard NIC. The motherboard specs wiil tell you. Once you have the chipset ID, look in /system/library/extensions/ionetworkingfamily.kext/contents/plugins/ and see if any of the chip ID's listed match yours. For instance, on my board, the chip is described as a "Intel 100Pro/VE". It is actually: Intel 82562V (Ekron-N). There is no Mac driver for the 82562V. I can only assume you are both in a similar boat. Check the 5.0 HCL and run down to the local electronics store and buy a PCI NIC. In general, any card with a Realtek8139/8169 chip (such as NetGear, Dynatek), or 3Com (905C, 905-TX), or Yukon2 will work.

Donw35 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 This is what I did, found a Intel 10/100 PCI card, shutdown PC, rebooted and disabled built in ethernet in bios, turn off machine and (unpluged it <- important) and put the intel PCI 10/100 card in, reboot and ToH 10.5 RC2 found it and I was up and running, no patches needed.

leoprell Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 my chipset is 82562g (according to intel website). Is there any compatible driver for leopard?
