I have a ALiveNF6P-VSTA motherboard (after my last amd board died) and i have installed rev 2 and im having problems getting my lan to connect. Its a Realtek PHY RTL8201CL. Iv tried the drivers on the dvd to no avail and getting a lan card isnt an option as i have no spare pci slots.I also have a wireless dongle its a belkin wireless g usb dongle if that can be used to connect.
Anybody help?

thanks

I had the same problem, and installed a Belkin 10/100 NIC. Realtek chipset also works with XP and Ubuntu. <$10

naquaada,

Can you tell us what you did to get your LAN working? I tried several suggestions without success.

As my main board only has 2 PCI slots, I would love to get the onboard LAN working.

NVIDIA MCP61S(GeForce 6100/nForce 405 chipset and Realtek RTL8201CL PHY LAN chip.

I made a standard installation I'm using the common forcedeth driver for this board. Is your ethernet connector recognized in System Profiler?
Look in About this Mac -> More Information -> Network

Make sure your LAN is enabled in your BIOS.
