So, how can i explain? First: snow is almost the same "thing" as old leopard, there are some severe issues regarding Bluetooth devices, and usb storage devices (pen drives and external storage devices for instance) And, people with "epu" mobos may notice compatibility issues, some severe ones... Second: I do not own a p5k-family mobo anymore, I had one p5k-se (non epu), really good mobo, but I had to move on with a rampage formula.

MonkeyTreacle Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 hi everyone does anyone know why the attansic ethernet or the Realtek RTL8169 only runs at 100Mbits on these boards (I've got a P5K) I've tried every 8169 and attansic kext available and every ionetworking.kext all over the internet for both, and can't get a gigabit connection between my P5K and my Macbook pro. P5k Q6600 Quad 2.4 7300GT 2 gig corsair ram 10.5.7 leopard at the mo (not up to 10.5.8 as i use pro tools 7.4.2 and can't upgrade it) chameleon rc4 (hence, all my kexts are in /Extra, not in S/L/E, because i wanted to keep it separate - i cloned my macbook pro hard drive you see Also, when using the attansic, i can access the macbook pro from the hackintosh on the network, but i cannot access the hackintosh from the macbook. It works both ways with the Realtek card, but its still too slow... MBP is running 10.6.2, but i had the same problems last year when it was on leopard any ideas? it's been winding me up for about a week now!

MonkeyTreacle Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi, try getting the new kext at kexts.com else, try setting your device manually, default is auto... hi Jimmy, thanks very much response but it's not worked, sorry! I've used AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext and also RealtekR1000.kext (which won't even connect), as well as both L1 and L2 versions of the Attansic. I've tried changing manually the ethernet settings on both - if I change the hackintosh to 1GB in Network-Advanced Settings, it shows up as 1Gb, but it's really still only at 100Mbits as shown in the Macbook Network Utility (file transfer between the two is definitely 100Mbit) As soon as I change the macbook ethernet settings to 1Gb at the same time - it says "Cable Unplugged" - this happens on both realtek and attansic. While using these different kexts i am also putting whichever one i am trying into IONetworkingFamily/contents/plugins I may have mentioned before, the chip on my Maplin home brand ethernet is RTL8169SB, not just RTL8169. But i still don't understand why two different NIC are BOTH at 100Mbits....my macbook pro is early 2008 and definitely has a gigabit card - it says it! (Marvell Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8055 Singleport Copper SA) i've tried every configuration in network settings (DHCP, manual settings, etc) (picture from the macbook Don't know what to do really! What kexts are you using, the ones from your installer? Aside from the ethernet everything else works fine, it's very annoying!

wildstar1063 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'm just curios what the current status of a Snow Leopard install is for our boards? Are there directions for such an install such as what jimmy has in this thread? What works and what does not? and what are the major issues with general day to day usage. Thanks Chuck E.
