I have trouble with my onboard ethernet...Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 88E8056 won't work at all... I keep getting a message about the network cable being unplugged (of course it is not unplugged!) , although the system detects a built-in ethernet. I could use any suggestion, please.....

Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 VE - works

 

Onboard Intel gigabit (PRO1000CT and relatives) works natively (detected as onboard Ethernet) in all versions of Tiger and Leopard.

 

Same P4C800-E Deluxe I originally used native with Tiger works with Leopard.

For those of you looking for cards that work, but dont - there may be an alternative :

These guys make a business of selling drivers for macs on stuff like wireless cars and usb web cams. It might be worth it. Geez, if they only had a driver for the Intel 2915....

 

Oh Intel pro wireless 2915 - Does not work.

The wireless pci Linksys WMP54G v4 works fine with Ralink drivers. Google is your friend. took me forever to figure out what I was doing wrong after I got ralink/osx to recognize my card:

 

I had a WEP encrypted password on the router and I had to enter the numbers instead of the actual password... I'm not too good with the technical terms but if you have this card and want it to work just send me a message and I'll try to help out.

 

if anyone knows any way to get this card working with airport that would be nice... I'd like to ditch the cheesy ralink drivers.

Again... this is v4 of the card... not speedbooster or v1, v2, v3, v4.1 (maybe the ralink drivers would still work for v4.1?)

 

osx 10.4.10 on a m2n-sli deluxe with wireless and 4 PATA hds... onboard sound out works but no input. (using an m-audio mobilepre usb)

 

Thanks a bunch to this site for tips.

and ocassional freezes (mouse stops moving & keyboard still responsive?? +need to check the logs)

 

**Strangely, my linksys wmp300n was recognized by AirPort friendly at first boot.

Hallo!

D-Link DWL-G122 (usb) is working but ... u must download driver from:

ftp://ftp.dlink.de/dwl/dwl-g122/driver_so...S_10.3-10.4.dmg

install it, reboot your machine, make connection to AP and then go to the Network in controll panel and add new network controller (ethernet adaptor en1).

After that it working flawlessly on Tiger 10.4.10

regards

 

Thank you so much! I've been waiting for that to become available on Mac. Just 2 questions:

1. Does it run on the PPC arch as well?

2. Is it just the new revisions or does it include a1 and a2?

Just this mex to confirm that the Sitecom WL-113 USB wireless dongle works like a charm using ZyDAS ZD1211 Driver. Only minor quirk is that you have to boot your hackintosh with the dongle unplugged and then plug it and configure using ZD WLan setup. (this behaviour is described in the readme file contained in ZyDAS package file, tho')

 

Enjoy!

Hi!

 

Does anybody here have the Intel DP35DP Media motherboard?

Any info on how to get the builtin ethernet on this motherboard to work with Tiger and Leopard?

I have searched around but not found any info on this.

 

It´s the Intel® 82566DC Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

 

Right now i´m using a Realtek 8139 PCI-card.

 

Thanx!

hi all,

 

I have an IBM/Lenovo thinkpad T43. It has the Intel 2200 pro, I pulled it out and am planning to replace it with a mac os compatible card. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what mini wireless adapter I should get and where. I've tried looking for the ibm replacement for the T43 but no luck. However, I found a 802.11 a/b/g wireless mini pci adapter for T60, but I don't know if it will work for the T43. Thanks
