Driver for Realtek's RTL810x Fast Ethernet Series

[LockDown]

I have compiled it successfuly in macOS 10.12 SDK and 10.12 as deployment using xcode 8.3.3.

got 1 warning though.

@ellaosx: This is just a cosmetic issue which is caused by slight differences between the Xcode 8 and 9 build rules. There is no need to worry!

Finally I have my RTL8105E working @ 100 MBit/s on my Dell Inspiron 15 N5050!

 

Vielen lieben Dank, Mieze! Grüße aus Hamburg!! :-)

May I know why Bluetooth PAN gets connected when I connect the cable to the LAN port. Internet works though.

This is with v1.0.0 on Yosemite.

[Mieze]

Most likely because your network configuration is messed up so that the names of the devices have been exchanged.

How can I resolve it?

Thanks Mieze

My HP Notebook to the controller: Realtek RTL8101E / RTL8102E PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.

I get an ip address but do not stay long, it disconnects then reconnects and then it remains on the orange led.

Can you tell me what's wrong.

I use Mojave, in the bios everything is correct.

thank you very much

ps: I installed the RealtekRTL8100.kext v.2.0.1 in L / E

Good evening everyone, I'm new and this is my first post here for you.
I wanted to compliment the guide.
I am a holder of hp 250 g3 and unfortunately in the last days I have the same problem with Sabrina13. For about 10 minutes I can stay connected to the Lan and then the light from the Network panel looking at the Lan turns orange and tells me that it is not possible to connect to the internet.

Good evening everybody

@Sabrina13 and @kenzobengy:

 

According to your description, this is not a driver issue. In case you can rule out a hardware problem, it's most likely a messed up network configuration or a DHCP related problem.

Thanks @Mieze for the reply. I will try if there is something wrong with my router settings :-)

similar issue at my end too, HP Pavilion with 10EC:8136 (also same issue on DELL 3542 with same Ethernet Controller). Ethernet works fine on cold boot, until or unless i disconnect the Ethernet cable. once cable is disconnected and reconnected again it fails to assign IP Address from router and instead something like this (169.254.160.72) is assigned. reboot fixes the issue and working fine under windows.

@chilledHamza: Please provide kernel logs showing the issue.

hmmm,im a noob....sorry for this stupid question...but how do I install this driver?

coldBoot.zip: cable connected on boot, working as expected

Self-Assigned IP: after un-plug, re-plug cycle

also rebooting with Self-Assigned IP with cable still connected cause kernel panic, happened 2 times, disconnected cable before reboot to avoid kernel panic (3rd reboot).

used the Debug version of Kext.

@chilledHamza Please clean system caches (No, this is not the kernel cache). Use Google in order to find out how to do this. After that, reboot and recreate the kernel caches. Let's see if it resolves the issue.

deleted the content under ~/Library/Caches, if that's not what you meant let me know. also another thing I noticed is initially on replugging the cable. Ethernet is Red (not connected) under network preferences, and after 30 seconds it turns to yellow (Self-Assigned IP). after that yellow it turns to green after random time, because one time it took ~15 seconds and another time it took ~2 minutes. so in short it is actually working but there's random delay. not connecting instantly.

@chilledHamza Try to select the medium manually and chose one without EEE as it may cause stability issues sometimes.

I have too an issue with my ethernet RTL8139/810x. when I unplug / plug my ethernet cable.

At boot it work fine but not if I unplug and replug my ethernet cable, device said " you have not IP address "

After sleep, Internet works fine again

if I execute commands

"sudo ifconfig en0 down"

"sudo ifconfig en0 up"
Internet starts to work fine

Today something strange (but interesting) happened.

I have a Kabylake-r laptop (Intel 8250u) which always idles at 1.2ghz with pkg power at minimum 1.38.
Today I replaced RealtekRTL8100.kext (from Mieze RealtekRTL8100) with this one : https://mega.nz/#!GVYB0IqR!9Rbv62ArhmCqFkrCQPaBleqYsza8CJ6cHo8C9XFKQ4E
After rebooting my cpu idles at 1.2ghz (as always) but thit time minimum pkg power is at 0.6!!!
That has a positive impact at both battery consuption and heat producing.

If anyone willing to try just let me know :

1) If the above statement happens to you also , and
2) If ethernet is working , since I only use wifi.

Hi trying to install this on El Capitan but I am getting the following error.

 

The super class vtable 'vtable for IOEthernetController' for vtable 'vtable for RTL8100' is out of date. Make sure your kext has been built against the correct headers.

Link failed (error code 5).

Prelink failed for com.insanelymac.RealtekRTL8100; omitting from prelinked kernel.

@endam It's not designed to work on El Capitan!
