Silly tip to get network access

[Iceman]

You can't get the network card to appear in OSX? Make sure that the lines in your config file are:

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

and not:

pci_3c90c_installed = 1
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe12:34"

Sounds stupid, but I didn't notice the differece (I just removed the # from the line in my example file) and I spent two hours dealing with no luck.

Now typiyng this in Safari

are you running 10.2 or 10.3. many of us are having the same problem in 10.2 but nothing has solved the problem yet.

Yup, I upgraded to 10.3 and now OS-X is seeing the Realtek adapter. It's still not working though. I put in the settings and hit Apply and then check run "ifconfig" from the terminal to see if it's up and there is no network adapter listed.
