I also got a reply over AppleSMBIOS.kext differences from Paulicat, if he finds time he might come up with a solution, if it is from he's side . But, as you notice, it might not be from there

And MyZar, that may not be related to IONetworking, what semthex explains, if i get it right, its about forcing those licensing systems to use another ethernet interface as the one who provides the source of the MAC address when people have no onboard, or disabled the onboard one.

Well, i have only one onboard card, and still having this issue, from the cpp source there it IONetworking should work just find for my on-board en0, but it doesnt, so then again, it might be from AppleSMBIOS.kext (lucky that i know a little bit of c++ and sh..t )

Does anyone know where the sources of IONetworking might be found, i would give it a try!

Here is the fix:

The full problem was described here : http://www.semthex.com/index.php?opt......ticle&id=22

I still think that with an updated AppleSMBIOS.kext one wouldnt need to have a different IONetworkFamily.kext, but who knows.

To fix it, go to the irc channel and aks for an updated IONetworkFamily.kext (for Maya/DRM/lmhost)

iongion, do you know if Paulicat built his patched AppleSMBios from source ? If so, it would be great to know what he changed to build it for hackintosh. Then it would only need to have the proper parameters for MAC address detection, like in some other older AppleSMBios...

BTW, as a good side effect using another AppleSMBios version, I noticed better reliability in Safari while browsing web.

The Paulicat AppleSMBios used to get safari hanging for a minute try to retrieve data from web, randomly and several times in each Safari session. If I did not want to wait for safari to sync again with network, I had to restart it. The older version I'm now using doesn't make safari waiting for data anymore, this was probably due to the same MAC address issue...

The fix doesn't work that sorry piece of shit still crashes, oh well dunno why we are wasting time when there's a nice crack able to remove the macrovision infection. Hopefully the whole macrovision team will die with aids after being gangraped by huge negroes lol

Unfortunately, the patch did not work on the french localized version. Or maybe I did not get the correct one.

Yo. Can't remem the exact link but on IM theres a patch file someone done for IONetworking for this issue (was for 10.4.8 tho). I ran it (had a bunch of errors in terminal) but low n behold when i ran maya 8.5 after it loaded the flexlm license file just fine! I'm on 10.4.9 with latest combined kern (P5LD2-VM DH/SSE3). Peace.

I am sorry IONetworking patch alone does not work for you guys. The patch really has its limitations if you look on those removed code lines.

Lets hope Paulicat will improvle AppleSMBIOS.kext so that the system gets the proper address without IONetworking..
