Lnx2Mac's Realtek kext - New Installer Package Available!

[Lnx2Mac]

Re: Lnx2Mac's Realtek Ethernet Driver - Public Beta Available!

Great release, solved so many issues!

Only concern I have, not exactly sure if it is due to this kext, is that when I manually put the machine to sleep (Via the menu bar) the machine actually shuts down and reboots on usb wake.

Any thoughts?

trevolutionary,

Thanks for your feedback.

Actually, sleep has been quite thoroughly tested during the private beta, so I doubt this kext is the cause...

But we can never be sure until we test it
I'd remove the kext, rebuild cache, and reboot to verify that the sleep/wake problem still occurs.
You can then reinstall the kext.

Please report back here (even if it's not related),

Thanks !
Lnx2Mac

Thank you for your very quick reply and Eureka both ports work fine now, I am very grateful.

Please do not refer to your work " as a mess" as without people like you guys we would not get anywhere. I removed what you suggested from the plist file, rebuilt caches and its fine I now have two lan ports......

Two jpg files to prove it!!!

Thanks for all that you do....

works great. Bonjour even works without the use of addition scripts and hasn't cut out yet. Can't say if sleep works because I haven't been successful with it yet. Good work.
