Asus Formula II initial success, Ethernet lost after 10.6.8 upgrade

First time building a Hackintosh, thanks to tonymacx86!

I decided to use my backup PC to install OSX for a small audio project.

Asus Maximus Formula II w/ Intel Q6600 Xeon
Nvidia FX1800


The install went smoothly: iBoot Legacy->10.6.3

All the drivers loaded (sound, video, USB, firewire). No network, so I found the driver (Marvell Yukon 88E8056), ran the installer and it worked!

So now I have a fully operational OSX 10.6.3 system.


I downloaded/ran the 10.6.8 update, then Multibeast (Easybeast, system utilities checked only), then re-booted.

System came up, no issues but no Ethernet.

I tried running the Yukon driver installer again but no luck. Maybe I should try loading Lion? (not sure how since I don't have Ethernet )

I think I would be happy with just 10.6.3 as it seems to work. I have never used OSX so I really don't know what I am missing with 10.6.8 or newer versions .

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am looking to revive an old tower I have laying around the house for use with a new digital audio converter with garageband. I have a similar setup with the asus maximus formula and the q6600. Could you point me in the direction to where you found the resources you used? Specifically, i am wondering where you found a mac driver for the yukon interfaces.

Any help is much appreciated!
