Intel 82566MM -- Mac OS X driver with source code (cable plugin-> active, caple unplug-> inactive)

Now watchdog can work. and you can plugin/unplugin the cable and see the "ifconfig" simultaneously.



Try this version and feel my progress. kext download and source code under GPL.


Now the driver still can not work for sending/receiving. Any comments is welcome. ^_^

cd /tmp


tar zxvf xxxx/Intel82566MM.tar.gz


ls -l (check Intel82566MM.kext has correct user:group that should be root:wheel)


kextload Intel82566MM.kext
