Is there a kext for the Intel Pro 1000 PT network card? or if it works natively?

Been having problems getting my on-board LAN working (RTL 8211B chip)
 
FWIW I found this on the Realtek site

RTL8201, RTL8201BL, RTL8201CL, RTL8201CP, RTL8201N and RTL8211B(L) are all PHYceiver. That is a driverless hardware device. Software driver are relative to Network controller ( MAC ) which is integrated into chipset in such case mostly. Please contact your mother board maker or chipset manufacturer to obtain proper driver support.

For the Intel Pro 1000 PT

Intel has a driver for Mac OS X, you might check it out, see if it supports your setup.

Cheers for the link, had a look on their redirect and the Pro 1000 PT is supported, gunna get one this weekend :D Then i'll have a perfect Hackintosh install
 
Oh, I thought you had one sitting around.

To be safe please do a search of the forums as I recall that there was some Realtek driver (either the on in MultiBeast or the one on the Realtek website, they could be the same one) that broke USB or some such on some motherboards and to be honest I don't recall the specifics.

I've tried the Multibeast ones, its the 81xx series, mine is the 8211b :/
 
Ordered a Intel Pro 1000 GT instead, the intel driver says its supported so hopefully it'll work.
 
Hi did you ever get the intel pro1000 gt to work with hackintosh thanks Johnny

I never got it because i re-built my machine a little while after with a board that had kexts available - the intel website links you to a site that does do mac drivers for the card though so i assume that it does work

I've tried the Intel Pro GT card with the smalltree driver, no worky. It says it's supported, but I'm assuming that they have locked the driver to their own card, and not generic PCI cards. http://www.small-tree.com/Articles.asp?ID=198 I'm going to see if I can change the pci itentifier to the one that's in my machine. Maybe that will wake it up.
 
I would suggest not taking a works with Mac/Linux as sufficient if you are running Lion, you should check specifically that it supports Lion and has a driver for 10.7.1/10.7.2 as there are cards out there claiming to work with Mac that only work with Snow Leopard or only come with Snow Leopard drivers.
