This is madness. We have piles of NICs here, including ones with 8039 / 8139 chipsets, 3Com cards etc. etc. These are really really common cards, and not having drivers built into the install pack is a gross oversight that fundamentally undermines the idea of demo software. I have the morning to investigate using this software: so far I have wasted most of it endlessly rebooting the installer to be told "No network card". I have never, ever, come across on O/S before that doesn't support these basic, almost universal cards. Another case of a company becoming too big & successful to understand the needs of it's customers?

Attached is a new kext I created for the latest round of Intel E1000e wired network cards. This is primarily based on dingguijin's Intel82566MM kext. I got the latest Intel Linux driver code and put that into dingguijin's framework. This kext works well for me on my Dell Latitude E6410 which has a 82577LM card but should work with other new Intel network cards. Note that Intel branched the code a while back after the Intel82566MM which means that my new kext may not cover all the cards that the Intel82566MM kext does so this is not a supercede although it will overlap with some cards. See below for the list of cards that it should work with.

Now the caveats: I've compiled the kext to work with Leopard and Snow Leopard and for 32-bit Intel, 64-bit Intel, and for PPC. And I'm pleased to say that it was able to get a Gigabit connection. However, with only the one test computer, I've only been able to test it on 32-bit Intel and on Snow Leopard so let me know if there are problems with other versions or platforms. Also note, in particlar, that some of the theoretically supported cards are "special case" cards as defined by Intel (82571, 82572, 82573, 82574, 82583, and 80003ES2LAN) that use alternate driver logic that I was not able to test. And then there's the big caveat that this is my first kext so in addition to the usual disclaimers about not blaming me for anything going wrong, add in a novice rider!

I'm currently using dingguijin's 1.0.3 drivers, which load fine. I'm hoping to get yours going as I have an issue with dingguijin's where when put under stress (e.g. multiple scp file transfers at the same time) either the card will simply stop responding (it stays green in the network settings but no network traffic works) or it grinds all the apps doing network stuff and in turn my system to a halt.

i don't know why but Intel considers the 82575 and 82576 to be special case drivers. You'll note that it's not in the list that Intel provided with the code I downloaded from intel.com. I searched intel.com and found this download for your driver, which says that it only works for 3 cards. (It is also interesting that it says it isn't the latest code even though if you search by product it is the only code that matches - clearly a glitch on the Intel site.) Since your driver isn't covered by the E1000e Intel code, that means it isn't covered by this kext.

This driver supports the PCI-Express Intel(R) PRO/1000 gigabitethernet family of adapters. For PCI or PCI-X e1000 adapters,use the regular e1000 driver For more information on how toidentify your adapter, go to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide thatcan be located at:

I downloaded the driver "PROWin64Legacy.exe" from the Intel site and when I tried to install it I got the following message "The installed version of Intel(R) network Connections is not supported for upgrades. You Must uninstall it before installing this version."

Hi I am having the same issue but with intel 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network connection . It has a yellow triangle with !. I can not rollback to uninstall the driver, bc it's greyed out. The device cannot start. Code 10. I am running Windows 10. I uninstalled this, but I am wondering if I will need this. I can connect to the internet via wireless and ethernet.
