Hi,

I've read somewhere that this card should be natively recognized on OS X 10.5.6, but I'm not able to make it work.

The card is recognized but it didn't connect to the Internet so I tried to install a kext called somewhat like AppleRTL8139.kext. Now if I go to System Preferences -> Network it says Status: Connected and something like "The connection has an automatic assigned IP address and may not work". If I open Safari it says I'm not connected to the Internet. Help?

Hi again,

I've tried to re-install the driver I mentioned in the previous post and things are getting even worse. Now even if I boot up with the Ethernet cable plugged in under System Preferences -> Network it says there's no cable plugged in :)

During the boot I've read some messages like:

 

RTL8139 VendorID = 0x10ec ProdID = 0x8139 DevID = 0x0010

Found PIO

Found MMIO

Using PIO access mode

Io access at crsBase=

 

Some HEX numbers are missing but what I wrote is what is displayed. Using dmesg it only prints like the last 40 lines of the boot sequence and not the messages related the the Ethernet card.

Please, I've already given up about trying to make the wireless work, but I need the Ethernet connection. Can somebody help me?

 

PS: I've also tried the PCGenRTL8139 kext found in a sticky topic in this section, and it doesn't work ;)
