tomatoSoup Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I bought a used Realtek 8139C on Ebay. It cost £4 ($7 USD) with delivery. It worked straight 'out of the box' and I was online without even knowing it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7981-which-network-card-to-buy/#findComment-49948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathdude1284 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I just bought a D-link DFE350TX+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev. F) which apparantly is supported, but it isn't detected properly...if i try to edit the realtek8139 or 8169 kext, only 8169 detects the card, but does not appear to function... mathdude1284 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7981-which-network-card-to-buy/#findComment-49972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
