laserboy Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Sorry for the delay. Holiday weekend. I did have the kernel flag max_valid_dma_addr=1024 I did not have the ddd. I will try in AM and report back. The d520 lives in my office. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laserboy Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi, I tried several things: 1) Removing the BCM4401 kext from extra/extensions, running edptool and update and reboot (turn off really). The reinstall BCM4401 kext and update and reboot. Result No change. 2) added the kernel flag as suggested Ddd max_valid_dma_addr=1024. That produced no change either. It senses the presence of a ethernet connect, but will not connect. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laserboy Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah I had looked at thAt stuff So it works for 10.6.7? I still think this is a Mac issue and not a driver issue. Maybe I'll try a second install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The One Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I got the same problem, lan is not working on my D520, i have installed retail snow leopard 10.6.3 with success, only the LAN was not working, so i used edp 1.8 for all LAN and other stuff. Every things works, only the networking connection is still the problem, i don't gets the right IP with DHCP, manual works, but no internet connection. I have done the advised max=1024 limit, but is still not working. Do you guy's have still any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laserboy Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 So I have been doing some experimenting... 1) Installed another partition of OSX 10.6 no updates. 1A)Without running EDP - No LAN. 1B) Running EDP 1.8 - No LAN. 1C) Kernel flag maxmem=1024 - No LAN 1D) kernel flag max_valid_dma_addr=1024 - No LAN 1E) Downgraded bios to A05 - No LAN in either 10.6.0 or 10.6.7. The thing knows it has a connection, but WILL not get an IP. Even manually setting up an IP and having the router have a static route, it will not communicate. Works fine in Win 7 or Ubuntu. I feel like there is some obvious thing that I have not thought of and I am missing. This is getting me angry. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
