Realtek 8139 Ethernet drivers
on iAtkosV7 the drivers for Realtek 8139 Ethernet controller don't work. When it comes to see if a network is installed the System Profiler tells me there's no network available. Is there a driver somewhere else ? How can I install it?…

I've tried installing the kext you kindly suggested me but it seems to me it's form Snow Leopard and I've installed iAtkosV7 (which is Leopard).
When I install it, it seems the IONetworkingFamily.kext cannot be loaded because it "cannot resolve depenencies".
What can I do?
I've tried repairing permissions but no success.
Thanks a lot to all of you.
The ethernet controller is on-board.
I think I didn't install any motherboard kext , mainly because after the installation everyhting went okay.
But, just in case, my chipset is Intel i945G/GZ.
Have I to download something?
Thanks a lot for the effort but nothing to do.
If I try to boot as verbose, it tells me that ionetworkingfamily isn't able to resolve it's dependencies.
Is there a command like modprobe for osx ?
How can I check if a kexts recognizes a device?

My 8139 worked fine without any additional kexts on Leopard.
It worked on Snow too, but Internet was slow without kext I posted above.
Is 8139 PCI or integrated on your computer?
Have you installed motherboard chipset driver?
