Hello,

 

im using a Sony Vaio SZ5 MN/B 4 installing Mac OS X Leopard.

 

I think i read about 400 topics to get my onboard Ethernet working...

 

Here the way i did: (Copied some text from other topics, but i hope its ok)

 

--------------------------

Installing Lan (Marvell Yukon 88E8036):

 

1.) Find your vendor ID and device ID. I don't know what yours is, but it should look something like this:

 

Vendor 11AB

Device 4351

 

Write this down, you will need it to continue past step 5.

 

2.) Open terminal and type the following:

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon2.kext/Contents/Info.plist

3.) Scroll down and find the ethernet card "Marvell Yukon 88E8053" change everywhere in that entry the 8053 to 8036

 

4.) Search sth like (in that entry again):

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0xZZZZYYYY</string> 'ZZZZYYYY represents some numbers and chars

 

5.) Update it with YOUR Vendor and Device ID . After the x : first 4 diggits = Device ID (ZZZZ), last 4 = Vendor id (YYYY).

For my Vaio sz5mnb it is "435111AB"

 

Save with STRG+o, quit with strg+x

 

6.) type in terminal:

sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

7.) type in terminal:

diskutil repairPermissions /

6.) Restart Machine. While Booting press F8, and add boot flags -x -v

 

7.) Now Reboot again, and your ethernet should work.

 

one day... i will get everything on my vaio work - then i write a complete tutorial ;-)
