I have just installed OS X El Capitan, however it seems like the internet is not working.
Mobo lan: Realtek® 8111E
I have firstly installed the RTL8111 driver from multibeast which didnt work, I have also then installed this driver http://lnx2mac.blogspot.co.uk/p/realtekrtl81xx-osx-driver.html
With no luck, when using dhcp it says cable unplugged.
Any ideas?
 
Use Mieze's RealtekRTL8111.kext.
I am doing that now.
It says;
  • Recreate the kernel cache.
Can I use this command for it?
sudo kextcache -prelinked-kernel
 
Also I see here that there are no .kext
Can you please tell me how to compile it so i can use the kext please?

Read Mieze's post #1 carefully, as it contains links to pre-built kext.

Or you can use Multibeast to install it.

Yeah so it seems like its not working. I have tried multibeast and manual install, still getting me the same issue. I have added my own ip and tried automatic, nothing seems to work :(.

Is there anything else i could try to do to fix it? I'll try using other versions of the drivers now.

I can confirm that none of the versions work, installed with multibeast. Kernel log link: http://0bin.net/paste/tbx4utBJLgWTMVZB#SvKMA2euzsfGfKbF3arvjDV0k9oXmWqaPazQwrN63Gy
Also something weird happened, it told me to enter the ip address, after doing so it said that the connection is established but after a second or so it says not connected and that cable is unplugged.

Thanks for your help RehabMan, I need to resolve this asap as i have an exam incoming so I'll be giving a $5 bitcoin bounty to anyone which resolves this for me.
Thanks

Make sure you removed any other kexts you installed for Realtek Ethernet before installing Mieze's kext.

Do a fresh install if needed.
