intel ethernet 82566 kext for snow anyone?
hi,
i cant seem to find a working kext for snow leopard for my built in ethernet which is an intel 82566 series... i had it working in leo 10.5 but after installing snow 10.6 today my ethernet is not detected, and i cant seem to locate a kext compiled for snow that works... the only one i've found is here, but it does not work... says the architecture is wrong or something when looking at the output by 'kextload' command in terminal... could someone please point me in the right direction for a "intel82566mm.kext" that works with snow? thanks a million and keep up the great work everyone!!! cheers, ryan. |
boot up with 32bit I dont think there'sa 64bit kext for intel82566. I boot-up with 32bit and it works fine.

hi jedric,
im booting in 32bit as my wifi also doenst work in 64bit cos the "airportatheros.kext" that came with snow is only 32bit... i confirmed this by looking at: system profiler > extensions > airportatheros > architecture > i386... anyways back to intel82566... where did u get ur 32bit "intel82566.kext" from? cos snow only comes with "Intel82574L.kext" inside "ionetworkingfamily.kext"... i tried patching the above with my device id "0x104c8086" but it didnt work... was ur ethernet detected by 32bit snow automatically? or did u have to do something? thanks for your help! cheers, ryan. |
found a 32bit kext
i found a 32bit intel82566.kext that works with snow leopard 10.6 build 10a432
here it is: http://hotfile.com/dl/11156664/ac865....kext.zip.html if anyone finds a 64bit kext or if someone know how to compile one, please let me know... long live the hackintosh scene!!! |

Here it is a version compiled by me based in the newest code available in google code. It works fine for me in 32 and 64 bit modes but this is not a warranty that it will work for you, it is only for snow leopard.
Good luck. |
well done mate!!!

you're the mannn!!! it works flawlessly in both 32/64bit modes for me too... thank you so much... since u know how to compile kexts i was wondering if i could ask you for another favor? the "airportatheros.kext" that's inside "io802family" that ships with snow 10.6 is only 32bit. maybe apple missed this one... will you be able to compile a 64 bit version of it for us? this is the only thing thats preventing me from a fully working 64bit snow :-( thanks a million for the 82566 kext... cheers, ryan. |
Thanks for this works 64bit :)

The ethernet can recognize but it can not receive new IP address from DHCP, can you help me? thanks |
boot with -v you should see something like below. If not your card did not initialize properly.
Try copying the Vanilla S/L/E/IONetworkingFamily.kext to your Extra/Extensions Sep 23 08:47:03 localhost kernel[0]: Intel82566MM: Ethernet address 88:88:88:88:87:88 Sep 23 08:47:13 localhost kernel[0]: ring desc success: size->4096, virtual:5d727000, phy:190b9000.
