Finding an NIC Giga E card for the Mac is nearly impossible now - no one write drivers and I suspect Apple will kill off the remaining expandable Mac going forward - so no incentive for 3rd party companies going forward The drivers are RealTek's, PowerPC only (not an option for x86 Macs at all) and were discontinued in 2008. In fact I would say it's got 10 to 20% speed improvement over the old built in Giga Ethernet too. I then copied that kext to /System/Library/Extensions and did the usual Apple induced crap to get the permissions set up correctly in terminal (rm chmod chown etc.) as described here: Otherwise OSX keeps "whining" it wasn't installed properly (oh for the old OS 9 days when copying things to the Extensions folder and a re-boot was all one needed) and refuses to use it.Īfter a reboot, it's up and running just fine now and has been rock solid for the past 5 days. zipped "DGE-530T(10.4).pax.gz" file from Content/Resources and that got the "AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext" file extracted.
