"RTSMACX 1.1.3" Driver?

Submitted by john8520 on November 1, 2006 - 4:34pm. PowerPC Macs

Does anyone have the "RTSMACX 1.1.3" driver laying around? Its for Realtek RTL8139x (Mine is a RTL8139C) 10/100 NICs in OS X. I have the extention to use it in OS 9, and it works fine in my 7500, but to use it in my G4 tower (OS 10.3.9) I need the driver.

All the download links I'm finding are dead, so I wondered if anyone here has it.

Thanks!

Hello John,
I hope it is a slot issue and you can get the card functioning.
IMHO OSX seems to break a lot of things ,
I hope this is not another.

It's already in Panther

If you look in your OS 10.3.9 system extensions folder there should already be an extension "AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext." Apple started adding support for 8139 with Panther, I believe, so you shouldn't need the Realtek driver. Let me know if I'm wrong as I'm considering buying a PCI card with a Realtek 8139 chip myself.

Well, if thats the case its just a matter of A) reseating the card or B) Using a different slot.
