Atheros AR8131/AR8132

[reader02]

Thanks...There's no kernel panic anymore , it seems almost close now.

ping to router (no response)

ping 169.254.228.244

 

inet addr seem to no.

ifconfig ? DHCP ?

 

i need more infomation .

1. please in Terminal type: tail -f /var/log/kernel.log

2. load debug kext.

3. post the tail of kernel.log.

[jinnggoff]

sorry for ifconfig at above post, is not completely ifconfig info

this for correct ifconfig

After test to plug in cable network, i have same result as jinnggoff.

The last problem can not connect to router, test with command ping not reply, in linux get reply ping.

I'm using static ip address

I try to unload and load again the driver, here is the log kernel:

[reader02]

here is for a kernel.log

 

I found the following from the kernel.log file

[AtherosL1cEthernet] Error: TX/RX over flow (status = 0x8)

 

0x8 is RFD over flow.

I modified the default RFD block count to 512.

 

to jinnggoff：

please test this debug drive, and post kernel.log.

This file needs to from [AtherosL1cEthernet] init() , about 5 minutes.

This atl1c chip seems to support 64-bit kernel issue, need to think of additional ways.

First test the driver on 32-bit mode.

 

how to into 32-bit ?

when boot ,press F8 and type -x32.

I get the same error message as wolodya. And when I use auto-assign with DHCP it gives me an IP that is different from the one i get in windows.

 

The IP adresses is like this;

 

OSX: 169.254.*.*

 

Windows : 87.96.*.*

 

I don't know if this helps you, but thank you for doing this!

64 bit mode and 32 bit mode both return 0x1000 (first) and 0x200 (second) ,check your log.

 

I spend more time to check the code.

 

please wait.

Not sure how to grab my error log, but latest build 20100421 installs fine on my Acer Timeline 4810TZ-4696, but the Ethernet card in Network System Preferences shows this problem:
