Hello guys, I am very new to this forum and to hackintoshing as well. I just want to say thank you to this forum that helped me install Lion 10.7.5 on my friend's computer. The computer itself is very solid, everything works except for the ethernet. The mobo is AsRock H61m-HVS, though I know there isn't much support out there. The ethernet adapter is Realtek PCIE x1 LAN RTL8105E and is currently working using the official kext from the realtek website. But the problem is that the speed can only go as high as 10 mb, which in most cases, is very slow. When he tries choosing 100baseTX or 1000baseT from the speed in network settings, he gets kernel panic.
Now, I want to ask, Can I buy a separate NIC for my friend's PC? If so, what are the most compatible ones? Also, will it support fast internet speeds because he got a pretty fast internet? It's fine if it is not going to work Out-Of-The-Box, as long as it will be supported after some tweaking or installing some kexts.
Thank you very much in advance. You guys are awesome!
