Ianxxx Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have two different lan cards both 8139s after inserting the relevant device id's in to the Apple kext file, the cards are seen by system preferences/ networking but report as cable unplugged. Using ifconfig I noticed this en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:00:59:fe:00:00 media: autoselect (<unknown type>) status: inactive supported media: autoselect I'm guessing the bit in bold is the problem, as below is the output from my onboard nforce 4 lan en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::250:8dff:fed7:259%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 192.168.1.11 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:50:8d:d7:02:59 media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 1000baseT Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, tried a few different kextfiles "drivers" but all give the same output. I was wondering if it is possible to specify a media type in the plist file? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84831-realtek-8139d/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
marekpipe Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi, i had the same Problem and didn´t found a reason. Mac OS said always, that no cable was plugged in. The only way i had, was to install another card (old one with Intel chip) and it worked imediatly.

Ianxxx Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Question for you, the lan card you installed, does it have a firmware chip on it? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84831-realtek-8139d/#findComment-602256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marekpipe Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have to take a look on the weekend. The card was build in at my fathers pc. I will take a look and post an answer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84831-realtek-8139d/#findComment-602309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
