88e8056 marvell driver
All installed, sound, video, everything is running fine except for the Gigabit network card which is a marvell 88e8056. I intalled Yukon2 from the ideneb driver list but it seems not working. Anyone knows how to go about fixing this issue?…

I googled around and found this.

sudo chown -R root:wheel IONetworkingFamily.kext
cd /System/Library
sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache
not sure if this will do the trick, but hoping someone here can show the correct way.

The procedure works for me... thought it might benefits these who has got this issue, try to download gigabyte_ds3-4pack.1.2.dmg and edit the kext as suggested. (this is due to gigabyte_ds3-4pack.1.2.dmg is for Yukon2 88e8053 kext). Hope it works for all off you...
