Installation on laptop and desktop .

Desktop : no sound but valid internet acces

Laptop : nice sound , but no internet access .

 

I booted XP and checked in device manager :

Laptop built in Ethernet card is : Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI fast ethernet NIC

 

Once in OSX :

System Profiler / network / Built in Ethernet shows :

Type : ethernet

Hardware : ethernet

BSD device name : en0

 

System Preferences / Network /

Location : automatic

Show : network status

 

Nothing appears below .

 

I searched in the forum , tried once to play whi kext files , and crashed the system .

Help appreciated .

i just searched the wiki for 10.4.1 and these are the realtek Confirmed working NIC's

 

Realtek

Realtek RTL8139 Series (try swapping PCI slot if not recognized)

8100C/810x (reconized as RTL8139)

8100s, MSI 865PE Neo2-PFS (Platinum Edition) on board LAN chip

 

for 10.3.4 the Realtek RTL8139 works as well

 

 

Hope this helps

I saw it too, but that doesn't help me much as it doesn't work for me .

I can't change the PCI slot on my laptop .

I downloaded the driver for 8139 family on the Realtek site and it unpacked and seemed to install . But, no progress at all .

As I cloned the OSX partition from one computer to another I wonder if that could maybe be the problem, as I could have imported the settings of the other computer to the laptop .
