Author Update #1 @relorium 2010-09-18

what version did you use? rt1000.kexts really have confusing names hahah they don't indicate which is the latest version and how did ifconfig help before? do you suggest i do the same? by the way im using 64bit os thanks for the reply

tried the sudo ifconfig thing here's what happens

i type

sudo ifconfig en0 down

then it asks for password

i type the password

then i type

sudo ifconfig en0 up

what's supposed to happen? im a newbie by the way

Author Update #2 @relorium 2010-09-23

Field Note #1 @Harju 2010-09-17

I had a similar problem where I had to open terminal and do

sudo ifconfig en# down
sudo ifconfig en# up

I don't have this issue after patching with latest version of rt1000 however.

EDIT: # is ofc the number of you network device that you can find by just doign "ifconfig" in terminal.

Field Note #2 @dvtwru 2010-10-11

you use RTGNICv2.0.3.pkg for your Lan or paste my DSDT to Partition SL
my DSDT :media fire.com/?kn5yce55nea5ab2
driver Lan :media fire.com/?c57yimw71329u86
hope helps
