skater Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 My realtek card not working in a laptop . I checked ,as Macgirl suggested , if applertl8139ethernet.kext was there and indeed , it is . So, I'd like to check now if all ids are correct . Do you know a way to find them , as XP gives me the informations in plain language ( eg "Realtek" instead of "0xABCD" ) ?

kikos Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 In Windows XP, go to Device Manager. Select your device. Click the Details Tab. Pick Device Instance IDs or Hardware Ids from the dropdown list. Combine Ven # and Dev # to get the device id. I forgot which number comes first. If no one else replies, search the board or google.

scousi Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 In Windows XP, go to Device Manager. Select your device. Click the Details Tab.

Or you can downlaod Apple CHUD tools. There'a an application called Regie SE within tha package which let's you take a look at all your devices. http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8959-vendor-and-product-id/#findComment-55677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Bear Helms Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 For those of you not yet running OS X on your hardware and wish to make some plans for what driver, kext, or plist changes you may need to perform, go to http://www.halfdone.com/ Download his Unknown Devices program and run it. Not only can it tell you what chip is used by a device, but this technical PnP device ID information as well. Parsing the device ID isn't that tough, it's always 4 characters following VEN_ and DEV_, as I recall. This utility can also let you right click on something listed and perform an internet search for it, or just copy it to clipboard for you. Here's an example off my system (MSI 915GM-FR): Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC Chip: Realtek Semiconductor RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter VEN_10EC&DEV_8169&SUBSYS_033C1462&REV_10 Reading that, the Vendor is 10EC and the Device is 8169. Therefore the code I'd enter for this NIC is device-first, following the general XML format of <string>0x816910EC</string> when updating or changing an entry to include this device (usually a plist file). The 0x comes first because these are hexadecimal numbers, allowing you to skip the bothersome conversion of the binary values into decimal.
