angralitux Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi iMick, I now have a working E6420 with DSDT and SSDT and sleep is working!

I did remove the factory dell wireless minipci card, and installed one I had laying around that got removed from my apple tv1, and that one worked out of the box without any problems. I make the question because I'm having issues using the card, sometimes it works, other times it doesnt. For example, if I start the computer with the cable connected to the switch, it will work, but if I remove the cable and connect the computer to another device serving DHCP, the card will not get DHCP address, instead it will get an APIPA address. If put a static ip address, sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont. Also, sometimes the device will appear like it's connected, even if there aren't any cables connected to the ethernet port on the computer. I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to improve on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angralitux Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 right now, for example, I was trying to connect to a cisco ATA to configure it, and it came like this after I put a static address, and disconnected the cable: It stays like the device is connected, even after it had the cable removed.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi angralitux, I'm seeing the same issue on my systems. So far I had tried several different versions of AppleIntelE1000.kext but issue persisted. I use mainly wireless, so that didn't bother so far.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted April 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 8, 2013 have you deleted all your networks in the pref pane then hit apply. after that then add the Ethernet apply then WiFi and apply, set the service order after installing both back.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yes. As soon as I re-add the adapters and apply, the Ethernet adapter will show that it's connected (green) even though no network cable is connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted April 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 8, 2013 then it needs a better kext for the card. google your ethernet device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 It's an Intel 82579LM Gigabit card. I'd check the info.plist and the device ID is in there VEN_8086&DEV_1502 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angralitux Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yes. As soon as I re-add the adapters and apply, the Ethernet adapter will show that it's connected (green) even though no network cable is connected. For me this appears to be completely random, i.e. sometimes it will appear green, other times will appear orange. But, if I keep on removing and re-adding the ethernet interface it will work fine; I guess that's the only workaround for now. I need a ethernet port, I havent switched to a macbook air I have here just because of this, but I dont mind having a faster processor this dell has PD. I believe that the ethernet works fine and reports the right status if you connect it to a switch or whatever you'll be using it, at least thats what happens on my case.

angralitux Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm having other minor issues, like some artifacts and weird lines appearing randomly on the screen, and also, before the loging screen appears, sometimes the boot process will fail showing a kernel panic.
