No Lan and No Sound =[

[ozzman]

First of all, thank you everyone for the support! Now my keyboard is ok and MacOs is booting fine! But.....I dont have sound and lan...=[

I dont have any idea whats happening.I have a NFORCE 570 chipset, and im using the integrated network(nforce lan) and sound(realtek hd). Leopard dont even recognize them.

I selected both drivers over the installation (ALC883 3 and 6 channel, Nforce LAN and Forcedeth).

I tried this method for the sound: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry259784, and follow zephyroth's guide to how add kext etc...but didn't work.

can anyone help me ?

thank you very much

[ozzman]

anything guys ?

[eaglepride605]

i have the same chipset, and i am unable to get lan working as well

[ozzman]

could someone help us ?
thank you in advance

Did you look there for Taruga's installers? - pretty sure he has one for the ALC883 (is that your actual onboard audio codec?). If not there's good info there.

Or maybe on the Wiki: (first link - audio...)

http://osx86.wikidot.com/useful-links

Why don't you try listing your EXACT LAN chipset ( rather than just "nforce networking controller" (of which there are a few)). Is it a Marvell? Is it a Realtek RTL8201 PHY? ( Motherboard Users Manual... Link to the MB manufacturers website... PDF file for the MB... help us out here so someone can help you...)

[ozzman]

Well, I said that my chipset is Nforce 570(abit kn9 sli)...The network is integrated, so....its NForce Lan.
I said to that i've selected nforce lan and forcedeth over installation..

any ideas ?

thx!

ozzman:Well, I said that my chipset is Nforce 570(abit kn9 sli)...The network is integrated, so....its NForce Lan.

I'll make it more simple. "nForce LAN" is NOT specific enough. "nforce lan and/or forcedeth" didn't work - did it... In order to find a .kext or Installer, you're going to need THE EXACT CHIPSET USED ON YOUR MOTHERBOARD!

Thanks for listing your exact MB model - BUT, I'm not going to go out on the 'net and search for the f#%king .pdf of YOUR User Manual!

(deep breath... don't you see that if you keep providing the same information (or lack thereof), you'll keep getting the same amount of help that you've been getting? Want more help: dig a little deeper - help people help you...)

CHIPSET: NVIDIA® nForce 570 SLI MCP
LAN: NVIDIA Gigabit Ethernet with NVIDIA DualNet (Dual Gigabit LAN provided by Marvell 88E1116-NNC1). I think thats what you want...

[timeflux]

I have the same problem, no audio no lan.

Mobo: ASUS M2N-E
Chipset: NForce 570 Ultra MCP
Audio: ADI 1988 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC (I THOUGHT IT WAS ALC850!)
LAN: NVIDIA nForce® 570 Ultra™ MCP built-in Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY

According to below site, audio was previously called Azalia.

And this is a more technical page, a comparison with the SLI version.

[ozzman]

I tried some methods today, but nothing....

[R0GUE]

Guys, the nForce 570 is a bit of a problem right now. From my experience so far I have never managed to get Lan working on my board. I have an MSI K9N SLI with the nForce 570 MCP chipset that includes dual gigabit lan ports. My only advice is to buy a cheap RTL PCI NIC to save yourselves the time and bother and get surfing quickly.

As for audio, mine has the ALC888 chip which worked out of the box using ACLInject and the ALC888 3 port kext. If you're having issues with the included drivers in the 10.5.2 DVD then I suggest going here (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36520&mode=threaded&pid=274325) and grabbing the attached ALC88x packages which also worked for many others.

[ozzman]

Rogue, thank you for the answer!
About the sound, I tried this driver that you told me, but didnt work. I use the ALC883. Any suggestion ?

Thank you!

[ozzman]

One question
A network card, with chipset Realtek 8139, works ?

Thank you!

[R0GUE]

The 8139 'works out of the box' so to speak :)

[ozzman]

heheh, great!
I found it for 10dollars :P
I'll buy it and later I post the results....now the only problem is the sound.....=/

[Ianxxx]

R0GUE:The 8139 'works out of the box' so to speak :)
Some do and some don't, I tried two different 8139s neither of which worked with any kext.
8169s on the other hand are advertised as being osx compatible check out ebay!

I also have ASUS M2N-E and sound is working. Try adding Azalia 8-port digital during installation.

You won't see the Audio details in the About my mac page, but there is audio. You'll be able to play mp3, etc.

As for the LAN, try this:

I have the same problem on this board (http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1647&l1=3&l2=101&l3=345&l4=0)

i get audio if I select all audio drivers there on the 10.5.2r2 list

but still no lan

I added Azalia Audio during the installation but still no luck. Then I start Leopard I see this error:


System extension cannot be used

The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.

I don't see "Azalia 8-port digital" in kexts included in 10.5.2 installation dvd only Azalia.

Can you or anyone help me ?

[R0GUE]

Repair the permissions on the kext then it should load.

Open the terminal and type:

sudo -s
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
cd /System/Library/
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
reboot

This work for me ... 10x again :)

Hi guys,
I have an Asus M2N-E motherboard as well..
I still have no audio yet, even if i tried most of Azalia, ADI8888 kexts, packages...

For the network, it worked with forcedeth_nockd.kext. You should try this one, but in my case i think it caused system crashes. Maybe you can comment on this too... Luckily for me, i recover an old network card from an old pc (DFI Realtek 8139a) that worked after a new installation (i have switched from zephyroth rev2, to Leo4all (v2)) and now i have a more stable system...
