Dear all,

 

I just installed 10.4.4 with the Ghost image onto a partition. Everything works fine except for AC97 sound and Network.

 

I solved the sound problem, but can not solve the network one.

 

I am now in my 10.4.3 and network is working! My ethernet is builitin on board and I am using a MSI Mega 865 PC.

 

Can any brother help me on this? Which kext do I need?

 

Thousand of thanks to all of you in advance!

 

Joe.

IONetworkingFamily.kext from the 10.4.3 probably needs to move over to the 10.4.4.

 

Remember there are steps to take after changing files in /System/Library/Extensions:

sudo -s

(give password)

cd /System/Library/Extensions

rm Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache

(no problem if one or both files don't exist)

chown -R root:wheel *.kext

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

(exit terminal)

Applications > Disk Utility > select your volume and repair permissions

Quit and reboot.

Thanks a lot!

 

I am at 10.4.4 now posting this! :o

No problem - and actually this info is on OSxhints.com - just buried deep.

 

The solution was originally received by a genuine, registered Mac owner with a technical problem, and it was Applecare service (telephone technician) who described the procedure.

 

Sometimes Apple actually does know how to fix their own systems. Ironic that it's normal to assume they don't...
