Getting RT8111E working without lnx2mac driver?

[bruce927]

I finally have my first DSDT/SSDT build running which has working Sleep on my Asus P8H61-MX with ML. The only non-native kexts I'm using right now are VoodooHDA and lnx2mac's ethernet one.

I'd have no problem with this, but if there's any state of network loss on the ethernet (Cable out, router off, sleep, etc.), it fails to get the IP address from DHCP properly and whilst easily fixed (Remove and Readd in the network preference pane), I'd rather not have this happen.

Is there anyway to get my ethernet working without a third party kext?

No, since Apple doesn't ship any Realtek ethernet kexts.

You can try the official Realtek driver in MultiBeast, but that one has issues with wake from sleep (it doesn't wake properly and needs to be rebooted).
