Hi,
so I could successfully install OS X SL on my PC and updated it to 10.6.8.
After that I installed EasyBeast and System Utilities via Multibeast.
Restarted without iBoot, didnt worked because of the boot0 error. So I started again via iBoot but even after installed things via Multibeast I can't connect to the internet.

Can you help me what do you?
My network adapter is the RTL8167.

Sincerely,
unconvincible :)

Try the RTL81xx kext from MultiBeast. You are aware that your Haswell hardware will not boot SL from HDD so it is useless to run MultiBeast after installing SL, yes?

Not sure whether I already did, but anyway. I do it in this way:
1. Fresh Installation of OS X SL
2. Updating to 10.6.8
3. Installing only the kext from multibeast.

(I will only check the "Kexts and Enablers" in Drivers and Bootloaders?!)

Do you think this will work?

ok, I tried that. But it's even not working.
Some may have another idea for kexts?
I tried some, but nether they worked.

Would be great if someone can help :)

Lnx2Mac's kext is not working?

EDIT: Never mind - Lnx2Mac kext does not support RTL8167. See http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/p/realtekrtl81xx-osx-driver.html

Are you absolutely sure it is RTL8167 and not RTL8168? Can you install Win7 or 8 and look the NIC up in device manager?

EDIT2:
Try the 10.6 download from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...d=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

It is all the way down at the bottom of the page

Once I'm home I can try it.
If I'm in Windows in the device manager under "service" it says RTL8167

Maybe you get more information about this in this thread

From your link - "PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_79231462&REV_0C"

looks to me like 8168 NIC

Yeah, also saw that, also tried some drivers for that.
But nothing helped.

I make a fresh install and try the realtek driver again :)

hm, tried it. But it didn't worked -.-
BTW, this time I didn't updated to 10.6.8. Is it necessary?

Any other ideas what I could do?

You could try installing the latest RTL8xxx driver from the Yosemite MultiBeast. You will not be able to do it directly by running MB - you will need to extract it with Pacifist or other app. Put it on your desktop and use Kext Wizard to install it.
