Either of the following works for me.

 

A. Copy RealtekR1000SL.kext into /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/;

RealtekR1000SL.kext

In Terminal do the following;

[mac05:~] me% sudo -s

Password:

[mac05:~] root# cp -r ~/Downloads/mac05/Bit\ Shoveler/RealtekR1000SL.kext /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/

[mac05:~] root# kextcache -v 1 -t -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions/

[mac05:~] root#

 

or

 

B. Copy /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext to ~/Documents/Extra/kext/.

Copy /System/Library/Extensions/IOPCIFamily.kext to ~/Documents/Extra/kext/.

Copy RealtekR1000SL.kext into ~/Documents/Extra/kext/.

Change <string>Network-Root</string> to <string>Root</string> in ~/Documents/Extra/kext/RealtekR1000SL.kext/Contents/Info.plist.

Change <string>Network-Root</string> to <string>Root</string> in ~/Documents/Extra/kext/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Info.plist.

In Terminal run kextcache and copy the new Extensions.mkext to your bootloader's Extra folder;

[mac05:~] me% sudo -s

Password:

[mac05:~] root# kextcache -v 1 -t -l -m ~/Documents/Extra/Extensions.mkext ~/Documents/Extra/kext

[mac05:~] root# cp ~/Documents/Extra/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/Boot\ OSX/Extra/

[mac05:~] root#

 

 

Thanks!!!

Hi,

Do not work for me the different kexts on this subject, I installed with kext utility (S/L/E) or Copy RealtekR1000SL.kext into /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/;RealtekR1000SL.kext.

 

I have chipset ethernet :

05:04.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet [10ec:8167] (rev 10)

Yet there are the plug ins in IONetworkingFamily.kext

 

Thanks a lot for help me.

In 10.6 you have to copy RealtekR1000SL.kext in S/L/E and rebuild cache with kexthelper Snowleopard compatible and leave untouched IONetworkingFamily.kext !

Kext Utility x64

 

http://www.kexts.com/view/129-kext_utility...8update%29.html

 

Cache in Snowleopard is managed in a different way then in 10.5 !

 

 

I didn't found better driver then this one although "only 10.5 compatible" ! on the bottom of the page !

MacOS 10.4 and 10.5 on Intel-based Mac computer

2.0.02008/3/261055k

Good luck !

Thanks AROBASEFR for your explanation, but this port does not work for me.

Once branch port is built in, unable to login.

The port connected green is 2 nd is Marvell,you would a solution to remove this port (Built-in Sérial Port (1) )is not be the problem ?

Klick to the minus button to get disappear de de built-in serialport.

Then chose the green ethernet and go to ConfigurerIPv4 and chose DHCP;If that doesn't work configure to Manuellement

your ethernet configuration !

 

I don't understand what you want while you have an ethernet en0 working on ip:192.168.1.38 !

Hi,

 

On some motherboards such as the P5K premium wifi ap, there are 2 ethernet port:

I have

Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller [11ab:4364] (rev 12)

Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet [10ec:8167] (rev 10)

Port that you see in green is the Marvell port works but port realtek not working that's why I ask you to help work this realtek port ethernet please.

 

I followed your explanation, I deleted the port built in serial port (1),but for the rest I do not see how ?

The RealtekR1000SL kext that I modified doesn't support 8101E yet. I would like to add it, but I haven't had the time to implement it, and I don't have one to test with. I will see what I can do.

 

Or, if someone has the time and the chip, grab the Realtek Linux driver sources for this chip and implement it for me... please?

I have a quick question. What is the state of WOL? Seems you mentioned you were going to work on it. BUT… it works for me when I use my router's WOL feature. I have a WRT600N running dd-wrt. It's never worked until I started running your RealtekR1000SL. Just wondering if you could shed some light. I don't even have a "Wake in ethernet" option in my preferences.

Hi, fellows.

 

With RealtekR1000SL.kext (post #631) I lose the option "Wake for Ethernet network access" under Energy Saver preferences, which I used to have with bonjour fixed by Sonotone's ifconfig installer. Why? Am I missing something? Why the "wake on lan" feature doesn't work with the kext? Is there a fix to enable it?

 

Thanks.

Ditto that... to what both jamonda and kdawg are saying...

 

I am not yet using BitShoveler's RealtekR1000SL.kext. I currently have WOL and Bonjour working. I've gone through 5 revisions of my dsdt.aml and now finally have everything nearly perfect, but I would like to still fix the following:

- have auto/idle sleep work (this seems to be disabled by using the ifconfig-script Bonjour solution)

- Bonjour is not perfect - sometimes my other Macs see my HacPro even when it is sleeping (and whilel it is sleeping, it sometimes shows up in the finder bar as a Samba/CIFS/WindowsNetwork server, rather than as a MacPro)

 

 

Does the RealtekR1000SL.kext make Bonjour and WOL work for you?

OK, finally got it all ...

  • Bonjour
  • Sleep (from Menu)
  • Auto/Idle Sleep (via Energy Saver)
  • Wake by Keyboard, Mouse, PowerButton
  • Wake-On-LAN
  • USB perfect (no problems w/ sleep)

 

I post this here because (although I'm unable to find the post right now), a member had posted that he suspected that the "promiscuous mode" flag used with the ifconfig method for Bonjour was breaking Auto/Idle Sleep. From my setup, I can say unequivocally that this is not the case.

 

From my signature, you can see the 7 kexts that I have in my /Extra/Extensions/ , and I do not use any altered/non-Vanilla RealtekR1000.kext there. I also have a customized dsdt.aml. My /System is completely vanilla.

You fixed all of this in DSDT, or are you using Sonotone's Realtek_Bonjour_enabler?

 

Would you mind detailing your fixes or pointing us to the relevant thread?

1. You fixed all of this in DSDT, or are you using Sonotone's Realtek_Bonjour_enabler?

Hi ummd:

 

1. Well, it is a combination of dsdt fixes and the original loginhookscript+ifconfig/promiscuousmode fix (set up by hand, not using any installer).

 

2. Yes. I'm toying with the idea of writing up a "Sleep, Wake and Bonjour for the Gigabyte UD3* Boards" Howto.

Basically though, I just followed/did these:

 

  • A.
this as a basic starter for installing 10.6 and then used the combo updater to jump to 10.6.2 Note that if you search this page for "5. Bonjour doesn't work", you will find a description of an ifconfig+loginhookscript that puts en0 in promiscuous mode, thus enabling Bonjour. This is what I used, with some tinkering (adjusting paths to match my box). I don't know whether it is equivalent to Sonotone's installer. That is something that would be interesting to check.
 
B. blackosx's dsdt guide (for ethernet, graphics, bad-USB-unmount-at-sleep-fix,CMOS fix), in particular his very good pdf version of the guide
 
C. dsdt fixes from UnsubscribeMe/MasterChief in the thread started by iSoprano (a few extra fixes for USB to be fully recognized as internal/onboard). I performed __only__ the steps that UnsubscribeMe outlines here, and nothing more. I didn't (and probably won't) add in Intel-Vanilla SpeedStep that follow in further posts.
 
D. PleaseSleep.app available from macupdate.com site

 

NB. I was unsure about what was going on after I did step C in my sequence above... a bare install with steps A-C gave me working Auto/Idle-Sleep, but when I added in some extra apps, Auto/Idle-Sleep stopped working. I concluded that some apps were stopping sleep. PleaseSleep fixes this problem-set.

I will add URL's to the list above as I get time today.

 

A guide would be much appreciated. I'm still trying to sort through MasterChief and mm67's DSDT fix thread as it's a real jumble for me. It seems I can only understand them when blackosx writes up a summary/howto ;)

OK, a guide of sorts ... HTH.

More DSDT Fixes for UD3L and Related Gigabyte Boards

 

I tried to make it so it picks up where blackosx left off. It gives links to the files needed, including a textfile that has the code blocks for the edits (this way a user doesn't have to worry about getting bad invisible characters mixed in during editing.

Hello eliseeff,

 

This kext is available into /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns.Are what is the same as you post ?

 

realte10.jpg

 

I have 2 ethernet ports is Contrôleurs PCI-E Gigabit LAN Marvell88E8056®

Contrôleur PCI Gigabit LAN RealtekRTL8110SC/8169®

 

Contrôleurs PCI-E Gigabit LAN Marvell88E8056® work with appleyuko2

Contrôleur PCI Gigabit LAN RealtekRTL8110SC/8169® not work for me with no kext I tried Realtek 1000Sl and AppleRTL8169.

 

 

So I ask if the kext that you post works, and how did install, replaces existing or install with kexthelper,Let me know because I have already in this kext snow leopard in 10.6.2.

 

Thank you in advance.

Using SnowR1000, 10.6.2, G31M-ES2L mobo (with RTL8168B on-board NIC), Wake on Lan does not appear in my Energy Saver prefs, BUT it does work (I tested using Fusion WOL on a PC and "wakeonlan" from linux)

 

What steps did you take to enable wake on lan, since not visible in the GUI?

 

EDIT: I tried "pmset womp 1" and I cannot get it to WOL from Linux wakeonlan command (tested against Windows machine and command is correct and works)?

 

EDIT #2: Well, I have two identical machines, one wakes, one doesn't - same board, different processors??? (the E6700 doesn't, the Q9550 does)
