[cite] naquaada:[/cite]I made a standard installation ;) I'm using the common forcedeth driver for this board. Is your ethernet connector recognized in System Profiler?
Look in About this Mac -> More Information -> Network
Not recognized; just the NIC.

LAN is enabled; works fine in Windows and Linux.

The board is nforce; the LAN is realtek.

If it doesn't work at all, try to get an USB network card ;-)

I uploaded the driver here, so no Rapishare is neccessary anomore. http://naquaada.infinitemac.com/pub/drivers/

@demigod:

what's the difference to the original forcedeth? The version number is the same. And what are _nock and _nockd? no krackd?

You wrote in another thread that the RTL8201CL is Gigabit. Are you sure? My board also has an RTL8201CL and it has no Gigabit, it's also written in the manual.

i installed the kexts and they dont work.

naquaada 05-05-2008 11:45 PM

have you deleted extensions.mkext and repaired the permissions? Did you get an message 'the extension was not installed properly' or something like this?

Another thing: try to get the network controller's Developer and Product ID from Windows, you'll find them in the device manager in 'System' (don't know the correct english name). Maybe these IDs aren't in the kext and must be added manually. This trick often works.

Try this one: http://naquaada.infinitemac.com/pub/drivers/RTL8201_03EF.tar.bz2

I added your controller's ID (0x3EF10DE) into the kext. Test if it works.

i don't know exactly .but the original forcedeth didn't worked for me.i found this forcedeth_nock and nockd in insanelymac.The diff is nock floods the systemlogs.where as nockd limits it..

and my board (GA-K851GMF-9 ) is capable of Gigabit.it is also mentioned it manufacturer site GigaByte
