Open System Preferences again, select Network and check if the new network interface has been created automatically or create it manually now. Install the new driver and recreate the kernel cache. If you forget this step you might experience strange problems with certain Apple domains, iTunes and iCloud later. Open System Preferences and delete the corresponding network interface, e. Goto /S/L/E and delete the old driver (Lnx2mac, AppleRealtekRTL8169, etc.).

Support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) which can be disabled by setting enableEEE to NO in the drivers ist without rebuild.Fully optimized for Mountain Lion (64bit architecture) but should work with Lion too.Support for TCP/IPv6 and UDP/IPv6 checksum offload.TCP segmentation offload over IPv4 and IPv6.TCP, UDP and IPv4 checksum offload (receive and transmit). Only small packets are copied on reception because creating a copy is more efficient than allocating a new buffer.



Support for multisegment packets relieving the network stack of unnecessary copy operations when assembling packets for transmission.Supports Realtek RTL8111/8168 B/C/D/E/F/G found on recent boards.Based on Realtek's Linux driver (version 8.035.0) I have written a driver that is optimized for performance while making efficient use of system resources and keeping the CPU usage down under heavy load. *** Please note that this driver isn't maintained by Realtek! ***ĭue to the lack of an OS X driver that makes use of the advanced features of the Realtek RTL81111/8168 series I started a new project with the aim to create a state of the art driver that gets the most out of those NICs which can be found on virtually any cheap board on the market today. OS X open source driver for the Realtek RTL8111/8168 family
