precision670 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I managed to get an Intel pro 1000 MT server card to work in tiger with the addition of the ID 10268086 to the correct kext, appleintel8254xethernet.kext, info.plist,so line reads IOPCIPrimaryMatch 0x10008086&0x0000ffff 0x10268086 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Would this only work in kalyway or would it work in ToH and IATKOS as well? Again if any of those does not remove the whole 10.5/10.5.1 IONetworking kext it should be work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalle Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I just bought a Belkin Wireless G USB adapter (F5D7050 ver. 3000) and it works great with my vanilla Leopard install, both in 10.5.0 and 10.5.1. I just downloaded the Ralink drivers, installed them, enabled the connection (as ethernet) in the network control panel. The only drawback is that I have to re-insert the USB adapter every time I reboot to get the driver to activate the wireless, but beyond that it seems to work great! version 2000 and 3000 of the hardware use Ralink drivers, but newer versions use ZyDas drivers. I bought a ver. 5000 and couldnt get it to work with either of these drivers, so avoid that version. Here's the email I got from Belkin with links to the various drivers available: We understand that you are looking for the drivers to install the USB Adaptor on Mac Operating system. To resolve the issue,please follow the below instruction : only F5D7050 version 2,3 & 4 USB adapters are compatible with Mac OS 10.3 & 10.4. It is not compatible with 10.2 version. Check if the adapter you have is F5D7050 v2, v3 or v4. You can check the version of adapter on the box. If the model number is followed by F5D7050 2xxx (2000 series), it is version 2, version 3 will be mentioned as F5d7050 3xxx (3000 series) and version 4 will be mentioned as F5d7050 4xxx (4000 series). Anything other than these two would be version 1. Please download the drivers from the links given below: F5D7050 version 2: Mac 10.3: http://www.belkin.com/support/download.asp...01;=1&mode= Mac 10.4: http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html F5D7050 version 3: Mac 10.3 & 10.4: http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html F5D7050 versio 4: http://atheros.com/RD/downloads/download_ZD1211B.htm Or http://dl.qj.net/ZyDAS-ZD-1211-v4.13-Drive.../7929/catid/193 I just boght the 4xxx ver and now i see that on this site http://dl.qj.net/ZyDAS-ZD-1211-v4.13-Drive.../7929/catid/193 they updated the drivers today. Do you think that my 4xxx ver works? I have not open the box with the usb-card so i can return it to the store. I saw this today in a store http://www.quickertek.com/products/n_nano.php....

whocares Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 hi guys, i have this question... my leopard can detect my ethernet card from the system profiler.. however, on the BSD Device name it says "eno".. also on the network under system preferences it says "the cable for built-it ethernet is not plugged in".. is there a way i can make my network card work? thanks guys... I just did this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry570036 and now it works great. I had the same problem, it showed up but was showing as unplugged only.

Alex DeWolf Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I just got this: http://tinyurl.com/2xhx3d (Aethros R-5800 mini-pcie) For my Asus A8js. It is recognized (10.5.1) and runs until Firefox is started, then it disconnects from my router. I don't know where and what logs to look at to troubleshoot this.

lonmoore Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I would like to recommend the Belkin Wireless G Plus desktop card. Model number F5D7001 PCI Card with Broadcom chipset 43xx . It worked for me using the ToH V2 10.5.0 version perfectly. No installation of drivers. Recognized right out of the box. I've been using ToH V2 from the moment it was released and never had a problem with connecting to the Internet. This was using a USB Asus WL-167 WLAN Adapter. But with the Asus I could never turn Airport on. Airport simply was not recognized. I tried so many different configurations, read so many posts, here and on the Internet, without any luck. When I got the Belkin it all worked. I was elated. My advice to those having problems, and if you can, buy what works. Read the posts here and everywhere. It will save you tremendous amounts of time if you do. I would have saved myself about 2 months of aggravation trying to get Airport to work. Oh, if you just want to connect to the Internet, the USB Asus WL-167 WLAN Adapter works great (using ToH V2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmoarena Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Had to change my HP ethernet card. Well, just found out that SURECOM EP-320X-R (Realtek chipset) works just fine. Remember, if you use this card, DO NOT USE ANY NETWORK CARD PATCHES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeythefish Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 My Gateway MT6821 has a builtin Ethernet card, a Intel 88E8038, which was repaired by changing the device & vendor ids in IONetworkingFamily.kext, Info.plist. But the Mini PCI-e, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG was DOA. So I ordered a Dell True Wireless 1490 from eBay for $13 including shipping, I installed the new card but osx86 didn't see it. (I should mention that at this point I already had successfully installed iATKOS). So I backed up my files and wrote down what I had done to fix various issues and dumped the HDD and reloaded 10.5.1 with my peripherals, i.e the ethernet cable and the new wireless card connected, and after reboot I checked my network preferences and there was the ethernet and wireless already there. Then I checked the Networkpreferences.plist and it assigned Atheos, driver info not the brcm4311 driver info. So long story short I don't know what to do from here.

D-Link DWL G630 rev E2 ver 5.0 3). NetGear wg111t 4). Edimax 7318 USG 5). Edimax EW-7108PCG i tried RALink drivers, drivers that came with the Nic, athorus drivers available here, methods on this site, none work, the only thing i was able to do is get my PCMCIA slot (Texas Instruments xx12) working, i can see cards being plugged in and i can power them off, in all cards i can see in gray (disabled) the words "Unkown card vendor" the only card that display its type and chipset is the netgear (i kept it the others i returned) so what do i do? is there any procedure to activate wifi? any thing beside plug+install driver+fix permissions+pray that i didnt do? thanks ahead, ShayBC.

Nathan12 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I hope this hasn't been stated before, but I just picked up an AirLink101 AWLH6080 from Fry's Electronics for $20, and with the driver from RaLink, I have full N capability with my AirPort Extreme. Just thought I'd let everyone know. Just use the RaLink software provided, and it works just amazing. Oh, running Kalyway w/ MBR, 10.5.1, dual booting with Ubuntu. Don't know if that helps at all.

obs0lete Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Anybody know of a way to get the Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet Controller working in 10.5.1 Kalyway? It's the onboard NIC for the Asus P5KPL-VM motherboard...or for that matter, the Dlink DFE-538TX? Update: Ok, I have finally figured out how to get the D-Link DFE-538TX Card to work! I'm now using Kalyway's 10.5.1 as it seems to be quicker on my system than iATKOS. Anyways, I remembered that when I had an AMD, I was using tubgirl's 10.4.10 release and I was using the same card in my system with no problems. So I took the ViaRhine.kext from the tubgirl release and installed it on my current system and well...I'm typing from Leopard now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
