Jonnn21 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Any ideas. Both these cards should be compatible with x86 right? Ive tried both cards in all the PCI slots. this is a P5P800 Asus motherboard on a P4 3.2 HT I too installed the 10.4.4 patched cd ISO installation DVD. PLEASE this is the ONLY thing not working. Sound works great even. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13807-3com-3c905b-tx-nor-the-realtek-8139d-nic-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpam Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Get IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13807-3com-3c905b-tx-nor-the-realtek-8139d-nic-work/#findComment-87765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Pay attention to theSpam, you need: - the IONetworkingFamily.kext from a 10.4.3 system (/System/Library/Extensions folder) - copy that extension to the same folder of your 10.4.4 system - that task and the following must be done as root - open Terminal and enter this commands: chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions - reboot I had to do it also when I installed the 10.4.4 but when I installed from the DVD that contains a 10.4.4 Tiger with an upgrade to 10.4.5 (integrated by Myzar) I had the network working from first boot.

thrunner Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.5 does work for 8139 (eg the one built in for ASrock 775Dual-915GL) Your card may have slightly different ID and you can try to edit the plist. ASrock 775Dual-915GL ethernet: Type: Ethernet Controller Bus: PCI Slot: PCI Vendor ID: 0x10ec Device ID: 0x8139 Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1849 Subsystem ID: 0x8139 Revision ID: 0x0010 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13807-3com-3c905b-tx-nor-the-realtek-8139d-nic-work/#findComment-87917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 If you connect to the Internet through a DSL router, don't run the network wizzard, simply go to the System preferences / Network and configure there your connection (leaving DHCP with no modifications?).

kojima Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I also have an 8139 built-in NIC. It's not detected at all. When I installed the 10.4.3 kext I get the reboot screen upon restart. I can't get passed the reboot screen. Anyone know why?
