Ethernet Card Problem

Hello,
I have a problem. I don't see my network adapter settings. Ethernet cable is working, I test it another PC. But this pc is not see adapter settings. That ethernet card will be lost I think. I just ask; It's operating system's problem or it's hardware problem, I do not know. How I test it?
(Please do not see my English grammar, it's not good I know)

Xircom pcmcia ethernet card problem.

Hi.
I have recently received an old Dell Latitude CPx laptop. i have added to it an old Xircom RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100+ Modem 56 card.
after the installation,when booting, during the start-up of networking, i get the following message:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
are there any known solutions to this problem?
or will i have to swap Ethernet cards?
thank you in advance

Hi,
A quick Google search indicates that 3Com XJAEM3336 Mac drivers were available for at least some PowerBook computers. However, it is unclear to me whether the files here are needed, appropriate or sufficient in your case. Perhaps you could look further into this.
If you cannot locate a suitable Ethernet PC Card with Mac drivers, another solution could possibly be to use a 16-bit wireless card (typically, 802.11b speed and WEP security). See, for example, this web page.

PCI Ethernet card problem.....please help!

Hi everyone, I intalled yesterday a PCI Ethernet card (10/100) on my PowerMac G5.
!0.5 immediately recogenize it and setted it with DHCP mode but internet looks to be slow so I chaged the configuration with static IP but with out any good result.
Internet works but very slooly while the network works great with (10/100 card and fine with integrated gigabit lan).
Someone could help me to understand while the PCI ethernet card doesn't work fine with internet? It's directly connected on a Netgear firewall routrer.....
thanks to everyone

But it could be unsupported the second ethernet on a powermac g5?
No, the fact that it shows up is proof that it works.
What Speeds are you getting with it?...

Also, in System Preferences>Network>Show>Ethernet 2>Ethernet tab>Configue:>Manually, try setting the speed lower & Duplex to Half-Duplex, restart required, test that setting.

2nd ethernet card problems

Hi all, I have an G4 MDD that I'm running 10.4 server and am trying to add a 2nd ethernet card to no avail. I tried adding a Dlink and then tried a Linksys card. Upon restarting from installing the drivers, both times I got a message stating that the install was not installed properly, and therefore the mac was not reading the card. Has anyone had this issue or any ideas. I am at a complete loss. Thanks.

There was an update to PCI ethernet controllers on
www.xlr8yourmac.com yesterday.
Were there drivers? did you repair permissions? did it complain that the extension or startupitem needed to be 'fixed?'
When adding or removing a PCI card, I have never seen or had the need to reset PMU. but I have and do need to reset nvram and insure nvram is current and the device tree is rebuilt.
I've also read of complaints about D-Link, mostly routers lately.

Ethernet card - is it my problem

I am trying to put OS9 on a firewire drive and am a little rusty.
It boots fine but I am not on the internet. I have an ethernet card as the original one is nonfunctional. Is this a problem.
I am using a G4 Quicksilver which connects fine on X.
I am using a router on cable modem. I have DHCP checked on the TCP control panel and have not entered a DNS address.
Any help appreciated.
Lewis

Hi, Lewis -
Okay, I see - you are trying to set up OS 9 to connect via etherent to the web, rather than trying to install OS 9 on a firewire drive.
Setting the "Configure via" mode to "Use DHCP Server" will result in blanks for the addresses (IP, subnet, and router), until the server can be contacted and supplies them; on mine the Client address remains blank at all times.
Apparently the blockage is in reaching the server.
Your QuickSilver's built-in ethernet port is auto-switching, and so when using that there is no need to be particular about whether you are using a Crossover or a Patch type cable to connect to the end device. However, if the new (added) ethernet card does not have an auto-switching port, and if the router does not, then it would make a difference.
If that is the case (neither has auto-switching ports), then if the router and modem are separate items you should use a Patch type cable. But, if they are the same piece of hardware, you would then need to use a Crossover type cable.
Article #42717 - Apple products that require an Ethernet Crossover cable
Ethernet Cable: Color Coding Standard
Other things -
AppleTalk can sometimes interfere with gaining a sucessful ethernet connection. In those cases, just turning AppleTalk off may not be sufficient - it can be quite tenacious about hanging onto a port. The solution for that is to set AppleTalk to use a different port. You can make that setting in the AppleTalk control panel.
Be sure that both the extensions named Shared Library Manager and Shared Library Manager PPC are enabled in Extensions Manager. Ditto all extensions whose names includes Open Transport or OpenTpt. If you need to enable anything, restart to make the change active.
Try throwing away the file ASLM Preferences (it can be found in the Preferences folder in System Folder). Empty the Trash, then restart. ("ASLM" = "Apple Shared Library Manager")

Ethernet card no longer showing in ifconfig [solved]

Hey,
Normally I don't have any problems with my networking, but this morning my wireless decided not to work. I haven't made made any changes in the past couple of days, so unsure what has caused it. Last Syu was on Thursday and every day including up until last night was fine.
So spent a while trying stuff out and stressing my tiny little brain for ideas, quick version is I did this:
netcfg: said interface didn't exist.
ifconfig: didn't list the interface (wireless is usually eth1)
lsmod: confirmed the module (ipw2200) was loaded
lspci: confirmed the card was there
After copying the output of the above commands plus the obligatory rc.conf onto usb to move to this machine (and just before pushing <submit> on a much larger post than this :-) I decided to check the mac address listed in ifconfig with what is on the sticker under my machine. Voila! My wireless has actually moved to eth0. OK, that's that solved. (Wish I checked that first though...)
But that means that the reason that my wireless card is now eth0 instead of eth1 is because my old-skool wired ethernet card is no longer there to be numero 0. Why isn't it working? lsmod shows that the tg3 module is loading (it's an Intel card with Broadcom chipset in a Thinkpad T43) , but it no longer shows up in ifconfig. lspci is not showing it (see below), only the wireless card comes up. Does this mean the hardware is borken? What else can I do to check the card?

Yeah, doesn't give me anything about the ethernet card, but does show the wireless one. No, hang on, just found it. Hmmm, didn't see it before, but I was grepping for 'net' then.
$ dmesg | grep -i eth
eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95751M) rev 4101] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:12:34:56:78:9a
eth1: attached PHY is 5750 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1])
eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
eth1: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
OK, so it is at eth1 now, that makes sense since I put ipw2200 right at the beginning and tg3 right at the end of the MODULES array in rc.conf to avoid the system getting crossed up while trying load them too close together. Thanks B, so at least we know something is happening at boot time.
Btw, my assumption is that ifconfig shows hardware once it is loaded correctly, is that right? But apart from the modules, what else do I need to do to get it showing up in ifconfig?

Ethernet Card Not being Detected on my iMac 27Inch (Mid2010)

Hello,
I have only had my iMac for a couple of months, and it appears to have developed a fault. I have a network router, and a network cable is plugged in however, the Network Panel keeps reading as "Cable: Unplugged". It is not, i can assure you.
When I got into the About This Mac > System Profiler, it has "This computer does not appear to have any PCI Ethernet cards installed." under the Ethernet Card option
I'm currently on Wireless (very skechty), and that also keeps dropping out even though the router is less a foot from the iMac.
Any Solutions or Advise please?
Thanks Phill C

I have the same problem after I installed LION on my imac 27" (Late 2010). It was working for few days and then after I restarted my computer my network card just went dead. Since I have several partitions I can boot back to Snow Leopard and it shows me ethernet just fine. So it means that LION has bugs and many bugs from what I can tell. It is wide spread problem and not sure if apple is doing anything about htis.

Ethernet card issue...can't get rid of self-assigned IP

Hi folks,
I am using an circa 2005 iMac G5 PPC desktop with 10.5.8. I am trying to connect the iMac to my Time Capsule via ethernet cable, but seem to be having problems with my ethernet card. When I plug into the TC ethernet port, the TC drive, does not mount and I cannot access the worldwide web.
When I go to System Preferences --> Networking, the tab on the left for ethernet connection shows a green dot, says "self-assigned IP" and the status says "connected" PRIOR TO CONNECTING THE ETHERNET CABLE TO THE TIME CAPSULE. It shows a "self-assigned" IP (DHCP selected) of 169.254.69.249, even though I know my TC is 10.0.1.1. Turning the ethernet off then back on, renewing the DHCP lease, nothing seems to be able to make this 169 IP address go away. The wireless connection to the TC is just fine... everything does what it should, I just can't get the ethernet cable connection to work.
Out of curriosity, I went to the System Profiler, and on the network tab it shows ethernet IPv4 169.254.69.249 (name en0).
I know it's not the Time Capsule, as I connected my laptop to it just fine via ethernet. The TC was IP 10.0.1.1 and it assigned 10.0.1.5 to my laptop (I have a variety of devices on my network), and I was able to transfer data and access the internet with no issues whatsoever.
I live in an 32 story apartment with a built-in ethernet network and ISP included in my rent. It's pretty nice, high speed. I connect from the wall to the Time Capsule via ethernet (circle dot connection port, so I know I have the right port), and then wirelessly out to a couple of laptops, a couple of Airport Express, and of course my desktop.
Bottom line, I think the ethernet card on iMac G5 desktop has gone bad: A few questions:
(1) Any ideas what may be wrong? Has anyone seen this self-assigned IP thing that won't go away?
(2) Any ideas how to fix it?
(3) How much will it cost? It may be time to replace my 6-year old desk top computer.
Thanks, Andy

I've swapped out several cables still with no luck, and the current cable definitely has 8 pins and worked with my laptop, so I'm confident it's not the cable. Also, the Time Capsule seems to be OK, because it too worked with my laptop using the same port. The only variable that doesn't seem to be cooperating is my desktop computer.
Also, I have tried to manually assign an IP consistent with the network & appropriate subnet mask. It seems to take the IP address manually, but still I can't get internet access, and can't ping the Time Capsule in network utility either.
Finally, when I connect the desktop directly to my wall outlet, taking the router out of the equation entirely, network diagnostics shows ethernet failure...
Does that sound like a bad ethernet card?
What does it take to replace an ethernet card in an iMac G5?
Cheers, Thanks, Andy

Is there a PCMCIA Ethernet card for Powerbook G4 OS X 10.4.8 ?

My ethernet port on my Powerbook G4 is damaged and can no longer be used. I looked into getting it repaired but that apparently requires replacing the entire system board at considerable cost. Rather than take that route, I was hoping to find a PCMCIA card with an Ethernet port but I cannot seem to find any that will work with OS X 10.4.x.
Does anyone know of such a card ?
Thanks for your help !

How old is your Powerbook?
A Mac older than 4 years old may need its clock battery replaced by an authorized service center. The clock battery dying can cause certain ports to malfunction as well. If it is under 4 years old and no surges broke the port, try zapping your PRAM, it may solve the problem once and for all:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n2238
If it is under AppleCare, there may be no cost at all. Any Mac under a year old is under AppleCare.
Also replacing the system board can be cheaper than from Apple directly if you take it to one of these places:
http://www.dttservice.com/
http://www.powerbookresq.com/
http://www.microdocusa.com/
http://www.macspecialist.com/
http://www.techrestore.com/
In addition, if the port got burnt out by a storm surge or power surge your home/apartment insurance or credit card company you purchased the machine with may pay for the damage. So check each of those sources if you can't find an appropriate card.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ lists a variety of upgrade cards in their database, and may have some ethernet cards you can look at.
By the way, the fact that port is broke suggests the possibility that any other system difficulty you are having may also be related to logicboard issue in anycase, so replacing the logicboard is a good idea if you are noticing other issues.
This thread may yield some clues:

Pcmcia ethernet card on compaq notebook

Hi can any one tell which Pcmcia ehrnet card supports for solaris x86 intel on notebook .....
I am using compaq presario1200 notebook and had netgearpc card which is not working with solaris 8
appreciated for the help

I finally got PCMCIA to work. But it was a battle.
My ethernet card DLINK DFE-690 TXD will NOT work with Arch 0.7. (It does work when using the Arch 0.7 Installation CD but after installation, it does not work).
I tried everything. (e.g. disabling almost everything in rc.conf and the config scripts). I even tried manually inserting the modules using modprobe. And then running dhcpcd. But dhcpcd failed since the ethernet PCMCIA card was "BUSY".
I found the BUG! The problem is with the 2.6.10 kernel that the arch 0.7 CD installs. In other words, the stock IDE or SCSI kernels that come with the 0.7 installation CD's are buggy.
I reinstalled arch usng FTP install. (arch 0.7.1 is then installed with a newer kernel 2.6.13). Arch 0.7.1 was able to properly detect and setup my PCMCIA card and get networking going.
I did NOT enable the pcmcia or hotplug daemons in rc.conf. You do NOT need to. They automatically get set up in the loadng modules stage (where some auto detection is being done).
So if anyone else is having problems, just use the FTP installation which installs arch 0.7.1 and a newer kernel 2.6.13.

Ifconfg eth0 192.168.0.117 (this OK)
Ifconfg eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 (this OK)
Ifconfg eth0 broadcast 192.168.0.254 (here the 254 is changed to 255 that is broadcast default, but in my net broad cast or router is in 254)
Other thing how I save this configuration. When I restart I lost all changes�
Well in second interface the problem is same, but I didn�t have DHCP:
IP: 200.44.136.145 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is IP, OK?)
Mask: 255.255.255.192 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is netmaks , OK?)
Gatway: 200.44.136.129 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig broadcast, OK?)
Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2 (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
Secondary DNS: void (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
fconfg eth1 200.44.136.145 (here .44 is changed to 36)
Any one can help-me please?
Thanks

yes. you got it .... eg..
/etc/hostname.le0
/etc/hostname.le1
in here put the hostname ... so at the shell prompt:
# hostname <cr>
should give your hostname.
now, in the hosts file: eg:
# Internet host table
127.0.0.1 localhost
<your ip address> <your hostname> loghost
129.156.89.252 host2
you need to reboot after this.
if you get a 'bad address' error on boot,
you probably have a mismatch of hostnames/ip addresses somewhere in their respective files.
also, see:
# man hosts
# man ifconfig

Ethernet Card Stopped Working (BCM5785M)

My ethernet card stopped functioning about a week ago, at the time I thought my cable had died and did not think to much of it. Then I checked the cable in my desktop computer and it worked fine and was able to connect to my router as well as the interent. To the best of my recolection I did not install any new software that may have cuased the problem, just standard pacman package updates. I ran throught the Networking wiki to try and see if I could find anything wrong but was not able to solve the problem. The odd thing is when I try and connect to my router I obtain and IP address of 192.168.1.128 which to my recolection was a fall back address when an error occurs. I normally will run my laptop on my ethernet card just becuase of shotty wireless router suppled by my ISP. I am able to use my wireless card without problems, other then the substandard performace of the wireless router, so my networking appears to be generally functioning on the computer.
- Lspci -v gives the following output for the network card.

The firmware out of date looked odd to me but seems to be a common thing with the driver at least when I searched the net. I found that message appear several times but without anything posted about my specific problem.

Well thanks for the compliment. this is my first post here but not my first go with linux. I started using linux back when Red Hat was still avalaible under the GNU as a free distro. Then to Fedora in beta, Gentoo. Ubuntu, and now Arch. I have been running arch for about two years and just have not needed to post do to generally finding my answers in the wiki or on a forum post either here or else linuxquestions as well. I guess that leads me to say that this distro is one of the most well documented ones I have ever used. Gentoo would be the only other who comes close but that is needed just with the complexity involved in the install.

I will say though that everything looks perfectly in order. The DHCPCD is good, and it shows that you are connected. I assume you recognize an error as a browser does not connect. But have your tried other web-tools to see if they can connect? A good starting point would be ping. Try each of the following:
ping -c 3 google.com
ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
and post the output here.
I did try a ping on the google site both with the name server as well as the ip while going through the network wiki. I also tried a ping to the router it self without success.

I guess one thing I did forget to mention is that the LEDs on the ethernet card seem to be functioning as well when I plug the cable in.
EDIT:
Interesting Update.
I was able to connect to my router as well as the internet by switching over to a static IP. I made sure to set it as high as possible but it did work. I was browsing around and saw another post on the forums and someone suggested to switch to static IP to help troubleshoot the problem.
Here was the post I found: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143183

Changing the speed of the ethernet card

Referring to this topic I posted earlier: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=568098&tstart=0
I called my ISP, and they could only think of one thing: that there is a conflict between my MacBook's fast ethernet card and my old DSL box (that is capable of only 10 Mb/s).
So, they suggested I try to change the speed of my ethernet card to 10 Mb/s.
The problem is, how do I do it?

I think your ethernet builtin is downgrade compatible, which mean it will run on 10 mbps too without you have to changed the speed.
It is the first time I hear that we should adjust the transfer rate to lower setting.
If your ethernet card max is 10 mbps and you want to use 100 mbps, than you must change the ethernet card or use other external ethernet card, not the other way around.
Good Luck

My Cable Company says my Ethernet Card is Dead

Hi, after a lightning storm my High Speed Internet connection stopped working. The Cable company says my Ethernet Card is dead. But my understanding of my G4 Power Mac architecture is that it has built in 10BaseT support and there is no separate card. If true, might I still have a burned out driver for the Ethernet plug on the back of the computer? Alternately, might lack of Ethernet be caused by corrupted software which could be fixed by re-intalling?

If you dont already have one, get a utility like macTCPing.
Are you also using a router, or are you direct connected to the cable modem?
Are your modem lights flashing slow (1/sec) or fast?
at 1 per second or less, then the modem is not talking to the cable company.
Are you getting a connection light on the modem indicating a valid signal from the Mac?
Reset your modem. (Remove from power, wait a few minutes, reconnect) There may also be a reset button on it.
ping 127.0.0.1
If that succeeds
you have passed local loopback.
check your IP configuration.
ping your own IP address.
if it works, then your ethernet port is probably OK.
if it fails, release and renew your ip address, and try again.
if that works,
ping the modem or your gateway address
if this fails, then reset the modem and try again.
if it fails, the modem is likely the problem
If it works
ping any web site.
if it works, you are set.
if it fails, then ping the name servers for your ISP.
if those fail, then there is an issue with the ISP and its NS, which is beyond your control.
They are hard to find, but there were a couple of companys that made PCI ethernet cards for Mac.
