RealtekR1000.kext Removed, still works!
 

I removed the RealTekR1000.kext, needed for my ethernet, and my Snow Leopard boots a bit faster now, and ethernet still works!

Snow has support for my ethernet ports without that kext!? (I needed it for Leopard.)

huh. thats awesome!

I know! I was like, WTF!? Never knew I had support out of box with my ethernet on Snow!

How did you install Snow?

Did you put that kext in E/E before first boot?

Are you sure ethernet works vanilla? What is you ethernet? Post some specs ... good for troubleshooting (not that you need any lol)

I installed Snow leopard within an older Snow leopard onto a bigger HDD.
Yes it was there before first boot.
My ethernet is the Realtek RTL8111C

thats insane. do you think Apple is using a different Ethernet port for the new line? like the tablet... it doesn't seem crazy that they would put it in before it was released.(like the iPod touch 2G had support before it was out, and so did one of the iPhones.)

I don't know! but im excited! I never read of anyone running this realtek ethernet port VANILLA. I justed deleted it because while booting, Realtekr1000.kext was showing to many lines, hanging the boot slightly. I removed, and it still works!

The question is if bonjour is working.

How would I figure that out, and why do i need bonjour?

Are you sure you didnt string with EFI Studio os similar, or patched dsdt?

Did you make your own or downloaded from a tutorial or something?


There is alot of "voodoo" under snow's hood.. so to speak.

Anyway, cool for you!!
