Attention SandyBridge users... New Lnx2Mac RTL81xx available

[Lnx2Mac]

Success! All I needed to do was select 32-bit graphics enabler=no in Multibeast to get it booting from the HDD.

The driver works like a dream. Thank you for everything Lnx2Mac!

Thanks Lnx2Mac!

Just chiming in here to say that after installation of the RTL81xx i had a "dead" lan port. even though a cable was plugged in it was not recognizing it, no activity lights, etc.

I turned off my hack, unplugged it for 30 seconds, reboot and the activity lights came back on, ethernet works.

on another note, does anyone know where the wake on lan/demand feature would show in system profiler? interested to see if this works.

Do I need to remove the AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext file from Realtek Gigabyte Ethernet 2.06 install prior to installing this?

No, the installer handles this for you.

I had to remove it manually from IONetworkFamily.kext/plugins. Lnx2Mac installer only dropped its driver in extentions and that was it. Maybe it depends where AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext was originally installed under root folder or inside of the IONetworkFamily.kext. Lnx2Mac works better for me.

Run the installation with the RealtekRTL81xx-0_0_90 installer twice (seems to work fine, no error messages ), but kextstat still shows AppleRTL8169Ethernet (1.1.4a5) loading ....

Thanks
