Did you solved your Ethernet problem ?

However, I have a very big problem. Maya is not working -- the flexlm system can not get the system id -- the ethernet (MAC) address of the network card. I tried everything but I just could not solve the problem. It seems that the ethernet card is not considered as Built-in and so the flexlm doesn't take into consideration. I tried installing Chameleon 2.0RC2 and specifying the EthernetBuiltIn flag to yes, I forced the kernel to both 32bit and 64bit, I tried to put other IONetworkFamility kexts but I had no luck whatsoever.

Please help me to solve this problem as I really really to be able to use Maya.

Thanks

P.S. if I do a sudo -s in the Terminal the system complains about the UUID missing (installing PlatformUUID.kext fixes this, but the Maya problem remains)



I am wondering if you solved your Maya problem yet, if not, maybe you want to try this DSDT Patch :

Since we have exactly the same mobo I think it's safe to replace this part of your DSDT (highlighted in green ) :

Code:
[............]            
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            Device (P0P9)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001C0005)
                Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Return (GPRW (0x09, 0x04))
                }

                Method (_PRT, 0, NotSerialized)
                {
                    If (PICM)
                    {
                        Return (AR09)
                    }

                    Return (PR09)
                }
            }

                }

                Method (_PRT, 0, NotSerialized)
                {
                    If (PICM)
                    {

you still need the id added in your Yukon2.kext or the AppleYukonInjector.kext

this is not mine so all credits goes to Krazubu
I tried more DSDT fixes for this Ethernet but this one was the only one that compiled without errors so thanks also to Gringo Vermelho for the final version

You can find the post here

Also what version of Maya are you using ?
