Hi RehabMan !!!!
I'm new to this and yesterday my ethernet went dead (after thunderstorms !!!).
I'm trying injector method but i can't understand the steps to follow. Is it possible to tell me step by step what to do?
If your Ethernet is completely dead (not on the PCIe bus), you can't use the injector method. To use the injector, you need to have a device to match against. If it is not there, you can't match against it...
I can't understand what mac address to change in NullEthernetinjector.kext.
You just pick one randomly.
In NullEthernet.kext i see IOPCIMatch 0x816810ec. Shall i change this ?
If your device is on the PCI bus (but non-functional), then change it to match your own vendor/device-id. If the device is so broken such that it not on the PCI bus, then use the SSDT or DSDT method.
Or else i must change the motherboard !!!!!!!!!!!
Well, with a desktop, you could always buy a PCI/PCIe Ethernet card.
