Hi!
This thread should be about networking problems and informations, like onboard drivers, wireless and how to set up a Mac/Windows Network. Working USB wireless sticks should be listed here too. I often heard about the problems with the forcedeth driver. I'm wondering about this, because on my systems it is working without problems. I have these controller chips: Marvell 88E1115 on Asus A8N-SLI Premium, nForce 4 SLI chipset. Realtek 8201CL on Asus A8N-E FM, nForce 4 chipset Both are using the forcedeth driver, named forcedeth-d 1.0.0d2 in System Profiler. The network is controlled manually, static IP-Adresses, Router, 2 DNS-server adresses for my internet provider (T-Online). TCP/IP V6 is switched off. The speed is also set manually to 100/100 Full Duplex. It was also easy to establish a network, using 'Connect to Server' in the 'Go' menu of the finder. The Marvell controller system could access a Leopard-Leopard-system without problems, Leopard-Tiger actually only with FTP, read-only. Maybe wrong settings. On the other board with the Realtek controller I had full access on both Leopard-Leopard and Leopard-Tiger systems. Copying of a complete DVD image (4,37 GB) needed 8:46 minutes (tested with stopwatch). It would be interesting to compare speeds, also in combination with a Windows network. On the Premium board I also have an Marvell 88E0001 controller which must be used by sgke.kext. If somebody could give me a link to the package I would like to test this controller too. |

I found this kext (by the way) here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/3rdPartyDrivers#Network

I havent been able to get nforce4lan working for the life of me without cpus=1. Both with forcedeth-d.kext that came with rev1 and the forcedeth-nockd.kext IF anyone has some ideas ill be glad to try em. Aside from lan not being reliable with both cpus everything seems to be working right.

Hi there!
I sent Zeph a PM on the insanelymacs forum about the nForce4 lan freezing issue. Him and I both have the same Mainboard. He said he had the onboard lan working with EFI v8 and the kexts from Rev. 1. I installed EFI and reinstalled leopard, and still have the same problems. I was wondering if there was anything found out about the nForce 4 onboard lan, and not using the cpu=1 workaround.
