Hi everybody...

Just wanted to let you know I finally released a new beta of my RTL81xx...

Tired of getting the dreaded ?
localhost kernel[0]: [RTL81xx@0xee00:R1000GetMacVersion] Unknown device type, reg = 0x2c800000
localhost kernel[0]: [RTL81xx@0xee00:R1000InitBoard] R1000InitBoard: **** Ethernet chip unrecognized ****
localhost kernel[0]: [RTL81xx@0xee00:start] start: Failed, R1000ProbeAndStartBoard returned false


Tired of using the official Realtek RTGMac ?

Then this post is for you...

You can try my latest beta: http://bit.ly/oCsa5z

Cheers,
Lnx2Mac
 
Just wondering, what advantages does this have over the official kext?
 
Hi Lnx2Mac,

As I already told you, thanks so much.
It's a major step forward (WoL, WoD...), a great version of your driver !
 
Lnx2Mac you rocks :headbang: thanks :clap: :clap:
 
Thanks for the update Lnx2Mac!

It seems to be working on my mobo GA-H67M-D2-B3 (i3-2105). The only thing is occasionally I get:

The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/RealtekRTL81xx.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.

But I don't seem to lose connectivity (or I'm losing it and recovering it too quickly for me to notice?).
 
now it works perfectly :clap:
thanks Lnx2Mac :thumbup:
