dvil, that loads and attaches just fine. However, it seems that something is confused about name resolution. Nothing resolves via the normal system, and if I try to use Network Diagnostics, "Internet" and "Server" are failed. From testing in terminal, it looks like I can ping anything by IP address, even out on the internet, but I get a "cannot resolve" error if I try to refer to anything by name.

Any idea what is wrong here? Anyone else seen this? Thanks...

Using dvil's version noted above, I see the -v output like you note, Jedric, including the "Up and running at 100MBit/sec" message. But, within the OS, I can only work by IP, and Network Diagnostic sees the internet as down. If I resolve www.google.com with "host www.google.com", then ping the IP, that works. But, resolution in most every command fails to work.

Also, I noticed that the "Link Speed" noted by the network utility shows "0 Mbit/s". That related?

I'm running snow 10.6 vanilla. And, what does copying the IONetworkingFamily.kext do for one, Jedric? Why did you suggest?

If I dont have IONetworkingFamily.kext in E/E 64bit does not work.

try manually adding DNS.

Motherboard: Asus P5E-VM DO AMT configured (can be powered on/off remotely) Processor: Intel Quad Core Q6600 @ 2.4GHz GO stepping. Memory: 4GB OCZ - OCZ2P10004GK 1000 MHz; Graphics/Video: Dual Head XFX NVIDIA 7900 GTX 512mb flashed to QUADRO FX 5500(Thanks to Aquamac); Display: Dual Dell 2007WFP & New Dell 2707WFP Main Monitor; Harddrive: (1.) 500GB WDC5000AAKS - (2.)500 GB Seagate ST3500630AS SATA; Optical Drive: DVD DHQ6A1L : Network: Built-in Intel 82566MM running on 32/64.

The driver's working great on Snow Leopard (HW: Dell Optiplex 760)!!

I only had a permission issue, some kext-file content had adopted my user-/group-id and some were on mod 777. But kextutil recognizes this and gives an hint while typing

on a shell.

Thanks a lot!

thanks so much!..wroked like a charm..yur the man

P.S.im posting this from 64 bit intel 85566

Thanks

It seems that for my optiplex 755 it doesn't work...

I used an older kext that worked for my leopard install, and if I use this in 32bit mode it works just fine (if I install it with kexthelper, chameleon doesn't seem to like it). I found it a long time ago on some forum... (its in the attachment )

The reason that this one works is maybe because if I remember well it was especially made for the 82566DM, however other people seem to be just fine with the MM version...

Can anybody help me with a 64bit version that might work?


(off topic but... my gma 3100 seems to perform a lot worse then in leopard (expose,spaces,...) any ideas on that?)

Thanks dvil for compiling and releasing that driver, I have spent so many hours trying different drivers and setup combinations, your driver worked like a champ and all my drivers are now working in 64bit.

Thanks again! You should have it posted on www.kexts.com

Thanks a lot for this - works great!

Downloaded this today, hope it works for my 82566DC-2 Ethernet on my ASUS IPIBL-LA. Worked before, just hoping it'll work with 64 bit, cuz I am running CS5 which needs 64 bit.

Thanks a lot, It works fine with my DELL 755 (IATKOS S3).
My device ID is 10BD

Procedure for newbies:

• sudo -s (to become root)

• put Intel82566MM.kext in /tmp (from an usb key)

• fix permissions and ownerships of all files. (comparing with some existing kext directories in /System/Library/Extensions, use chown chgrp and chmod commands)

• move Intel82566MM.kext in /System/Library/Extensions

• And finally activate it with: kextload Intel82566MM.kext

(To avoid confusion I have re-attached the working version)
