Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter

Thanks for the clear instructions, I had this exact card for the longest time and never thought it could work in a hackintosh.
Working perfectly in my H55N-USB3 (only one PCIe slot, but it is a headless NAS/server).

Just a heads-up: 10.6.5 updates the IONetworkingFamily kext, so you'll have to reapply the Info.plist changes as laid out in the first post.

On the plus side, if you had it working in 10.6.4, you don't have to reboot or do any trickery with Chameleon to get it working again—just run the System Utilities tasks in MultiBeast after editing the Info.plist and it will be automatically re-enabled.

Anyone know if this card can do jumbo frames in OS X?

Anyone know if this card can do jumbo frames in OS X?

For that matter...is there any hack/kext that supports Jumbo Frames? I have my NAS set up at 9000 and I can max out the MTU on OSX at 1500??!?! There has to be a workaround to get 9000 MTU running. It can provide a significant boost in transmission.

I think the official Realtek may support it. The downside is it's not that stable of a driver.

Thanks for your explanation. My Intel NIC runs like a charm
After editing and repairing everything I did a normal restart and my card was recognized immediatly.

I have so many damn nic cards over here! Which of course none worked! I went upstairs and pulled the intel CT out of a computer and found this thread. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Seems it's a great card on hackintosh. However, I have some questions.
Is this card support wake on demand in System Preference->Energy Saver ?
Did anyone test the speed of this card, how fast it could be?
Thanks!

after further testing It appears the card now gives me a problem with manually evoking sleep on the login page.

Now have to click sleep 3 times before it will work. Log file seems to point to this card.
