Thread: Gigabyte G41MT-D3 lan driver

i installed OSX 10.6 on the gig board but cant get the lan to work. what driver would i need and how to install it. i am new to Mac and am trying to learn. i need dummy instructions....any help...thanks

I quickly looked it up on the internet, looks like ur lan chip is from the rtl81xx family.

Here`s the file i use to activate lan on my board, all you need to do is download the install pkg and run it, should get the lan chip to work.

Thanks that worked great. however when i did an update from apple the internet bogged down and froze. so i reloaded 10.6 OS and working fine. is there a fix for the new OS? also is there a VIDEO driver? AUDIO driver? thanks so much

umm...if you could give me some details, like what sorta hardware ur using and etc, ill try to pull a pack for ya.
oh yah also, if you could extract ur dsdt file and pass that to me, ill give it a shot fixing it.

like i said im using a Gigabyte G41MT-D3 motherboard with 4 gig memory. lan is realteck rtl8111d/e , the auto is realteck alc888b and the graphics is intergrated in the north bridge. north bridge is intel g41 express chipset. if i need to buy another video card let me know what would work best. as for the dsdt file, i dont know what that is so if you give me instructions in how to copy it i would be glad to do so. again thanks for all your help..

good to hear that you have network going now, i havent update to 10.6.6 yet so im not sure why lan droped off, im running 10.6.5 right now, maybe trying a kext cache rebuild with kext utility?
for audio i believe the easiest way to do is to use the voodoohda.kext, which you could find it here in the download section, for graphic, have a look at these :
GMA X4500 - InsanelyMac Forum
Intel GMA X4500HD - InfiniteMac OSx86
but i don think you can get qe/ci support out of a intel gma4500

tried muiltibeast yet? it is a GREAT post installation app, try that out too. Also, ive found some packs and pre made dsdt at our download section, just search g41mt, i believe d3 is quite similar to es2l?

^^ best of luck
