Good evening all,

I have a Biostar TForce TF570SLI and need some help getting it set up under Leopard.

I installed from the Zephyroth 10.5.2 dvd image and was pleasantly surprised to see my NVidia 8600GT work perfectly (both CI and QE enabled, as well as a ton of resolutions) so simply with just a few options in the installer, but I'm having some trouble with LAN and audio.

I selected the checkboxes in the installer that I thought should work, but they didn't, so I need to know what installer options to use or what kexts I need to install manually.

Per Newegg, both LAN connections are "Marvell 88E1116" and the audio is "Realtek ALC888". There are 6 audio connections on the back panel.

Using the forcedeth.kext, the LAN ports are at least detected, but are shown as no cable connected.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

Any updates?

Nope. Wish I could be more helpful if you're in the same boat I was, but I tried all kinds of things and looked all over the place for help and all I got were dead threads like this, no help at all. I figured more people would have this motherboard.

I eventually gave up on it for a while until I could get money together to build a new system with hardware known to work better. Couple that with changing priorities, I'm now waiting for my Dell Mini 9 to ship in about 2 and a half weeks. It seems to be almost 100% compatible out of the box, and with being out of town for work so much anymore, I have less time to tinker around with the desktop at home and an OSX netbook would be more useful.

I hope you eventually find what you're looking for, sorry I couldn't be any help, but when threads go 9 months without a reply, I kind of assume I'm alone and I certainly don't have the skills and knowledge to figure it out completely on my own... Help from this forum or any other would have been appreciated.
