[Network] Ethernet n wireless not available....

Ok, didnt quite explain myself good enough obviously.

My problem is, that AFTER install with Kalyway OSX 10.5.2, the OS detects the correct drivers that i chose when installing it, but when i go to network settings it tells me that the ethernet cable isnt plugged in. In neither of the inputs that is. Zero response. How can i fix this, and can it be fixed? Read somewhere that booting with -f might fix the problem, but not sure what the -f does.

Thanks in advance.

What kext for network do you using/installing?

I think do you need replace that for a correct version.

I only chose the one that came with the installer... Forcedeth i guess it was?

EDIT: Yeah it was the forcedeth option. It recognizes the driver, but wont register that the cable is plugged in. Im no expert at OSX at all so cant really understand where og what the problem is. As said a couple of posts ago, i use the Nvidia NForce LAN, so in my mind it should work, but itj ust dont.

If anyone could give me an explanation or a step by step guide to what i need to do that would be great.

Man nForceDeath kext (for network) don't work properly and I see only one sollution, try use a cheap Realtek RTL8139C ($15,00).

Work easy and fine. :)

Man, bummer :P Thought that it would work fine.

Could you be so nice to PM or post here some other network cards that work fine, and/or a link to where i could buy that network card? Tried googling it but didnt get any retailers that shipped worldwide.

Thanks for your help so far ! :)

I can't post links, I'm from Brazil and I don't know places where you can ship this.

Try looking only for RTL8139C (PCI) and RTL8139D (PCI), if you want WIFI to look for RTL8187b (USB Dongle on Realtek's site has official .kext to make this work on OSX) all card and dongle from Realtek.
