Network Connection would collapse, then crash the system; on 10.9 [SOLVED]

Hey all,


Have any of you experience a network collapse under 10.9? As in, when you're streaming something from your local network, browsing, listening to Rdio; then all of a sudden lose connectivity to your local network and then eventually the entire computer would just grind to a halt?

I see this message on Console:

10/24/2013 12:52:26.000 AM kernel[0]: failed to getphysicalsegment in outputPacket.

There's also a thread related to this:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/multibeast-bug-reports/111439-e1000-driver-hangs-multibeast-5-5-a.html
but no solution was found.

I've got an Asus Z77 Sabertooth Motherboard; worked like a charm under 10.8 with Multibeast 5.x.

UPDATE:

Using an older hnak's Intel Ethernet .kext file from previous MultiBeast seems to have fixed the issue. 10.9's been running more than 36 hours without network issues.

Same problem here.
Everything works fine until suddenly the ethernet stops working. I tried fixing permissions and reinstalled the ethernet kexts without success :/
Especially annoying when I want to backup my system with Time Machine.

Here are my specs:
Core i7-3770K intel
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H
OS X 10.9

Same problem here.

Everything works fine for a few hours until suddenly the ethernet stops working, reboot and it wil work again for a few hours...

My specs:
Core i3-3225 intel
Gigabyte GA-Q77M-D2H
OS X 10.9

Yep, I think I have a solution.

I) Uninstall all ethernet kexts
I used "sudo rm -rf /System/kextpath" to delete them.
Look for the correct path of your ethernet kexts in the "About this mac"->"More Information"->"system report"->"ethernet cards" (I translated this from german, hope I got it right)

Then use Kext Utility to repair the permissions.
Reboot.

II)
Get MultiBeast 5.0.2 and install the network kexts as if you would do for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

then use Kext Utility to repair the permissions.
Reboot.

It works until now.

same issue here with the ethernet, I have a 77 ds3h. Internet connectivity stops randomly and I usually have to reboot. It happens a lot when I visit the tonymac site lol I think apple is sabotaging my apple experience.



I turned off the wifi radio and it seems to keep the ethernet stable and working, but my ping is 2 seconds longer more than it used to be on mountain lion.

"It works until now." -- sorry, just a clarification… is it working now? "until now" implies that it stopped working .

Either way, I'm trying the second solution! So far, so good. I'll investigate further.

Yes, it still works.

Version: 2.4.14 in MB 5.4.3 also works fine.

12-hours later, haven't seen a crash yet. I'll continue testing (putting load/stress on the network) and see if it'd lock up again.


Otherwise, it's been an uneventful 12-hour.

I second this. Using an older .kext seem to be the solution! I haven't seen a crash (yet!)
