backayard Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I got ViaRhine network ( Via Rhine II Fast Ethernet ) working in Leopard 10.5.1 and this is how I got it working. Download ViaRhine driver from this link. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=34074 Open ViaRhine-rel.tar file and right click on ViaRhine.kext and open with Kext Helper b7, enter password and click Easy Install to install driver, click yes to Reboot, cross your finger... Go to Treminal sudo -s Enter your password cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo chown -R root:wheel ViaRhine.kext sudo find ViaRhine.kext -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find ViaRhine.kext -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \; sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kext sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext Reboot and cross your finger You should now find your network in System Preferences, Network. I had to Manually Configure mine and change it back for DHCP to work. Hope it work for you!!

earljieret Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 after downloading the kext, if it is zipped, unzip it- copy to /System/Library/Extensions so when you do a "chown -R root:wheel ViaRhine.kext , make sure you cd to /System/Library/Extensions first.

adamsweeting Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I've been trying for ages to get this to work with my 10.5.2 system... it's driving me mad! I get kernel panic every time after I put the kext in and change permissions, then reboot. I'm going to try one last thing - I'm going to put the ViaRhine.kext into the IONetworkingFamily.kext plugins folder to see if that makes any difference (but I doubt it!) Has anyone got this kext to work in 10.5.2?

Has anyone got this kext to work in 10.5.2? I got it to work on 10.5.2 (both Leo4All and Kalyway). It's been working fine for the last few weeks until last week where it keeps on loosing internet connection after about 12 hours of file downloading. I have it on DHCP and it's able to obtain IP but simply cannot ping anywhere at all until I have to reboot. I surely hope someone will come up with an updated kext. I'll probably end up buying a cheap PCI Ethernet card - doesn't seem like anyone working on the update since 2006...
