SheldonDDOS Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Greetings InsanelyMac Community! I'm trying to get my Internet working on my Mountain Lion 10.8.2 ( Using AMD kernel if that matters ) When i used Leopard / Snow Leopard i used the Nforce ( I choose it from the customize menu in the installation process ) But i guess that's a 32 bit kext. And since Mountain Lion is only bootable in 64 bit. Those kext can't be used. I hope some one will be able to provide me with a kext that will enable wired internet! Thank you so much Here is my Motherboard specs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheldonDDOS Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thank you for the posts gentlemen! Sheldon, since you still have windows, download and run everest, or locate in the device manager and post here the vendor id and device id of your network. I'm sorry. I dont have Windows anymore on my computer Realtek PHY RTL8201EL is your model which I think is supported from Realtek's driver from there site. How am i going to make the original driver to a kext driver? Also, i can't find the driver on the internet! I did find this http://www.ascendtech.us/asrock-n68-s-phenom-ii-am2-am3-ready_i_mb64asrn68s7025.aspx They are saying that LAN: Realtek PHY RTL8201EL / 8201CL Ethernet Controller can be used on my motherboard. But i cant find them on the internet, neither do i know how to convert it to a kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooSee Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 i'am not sure if this is the right driver ! i extract it for you. AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheldonDDOS Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 You are right. The driver didn't work I'm gonna try the driver you provided me! Seems kinda odd, since it says that my Motherboard only support PHY RTL8201EL / 8201CL. But you provided me with 8169. But i'll try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooSee Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 i guess, he means the kext from Realtek with the non-working installer you already tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
