OS X open source driver for the Realtek RTL8111/8168 family

Rtl8169 Drivers For Mac

*** Please note that this driver isn't maintained by Realtek! ***

Unix (Linux) This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:US5,307,459, US5,434,872, US5,732,094, US6,570,884, US6,115,776, and US6,327,625.

Due 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. 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.

Key Features of the Driver

  • Supports Realtek RTL8111/8168 B/C/D/E/F/G/H found on recent boards.
  • Support for multisegment packets relieving the network stack of unnecessary copy operations when assembling packets for transmission.
  • No-copy receive and transmit. Only small packets are copied on reception because creating a copy is more efficient than allocating a new buffer.TCP, UDP and IPv4 checksum offload (receive and transmit).
  • TCP segmentation offload over IPv4 and IPv6.
  • Support for TCP/IPv6 and UDP/IPv6 checksum offload.
  • Fully optimized for Mountain Lion (64bit architecture) but should work with Lion too. Snow Leopard requies some changes.
  • Supports Wake on LAN.
  • Support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) which can be disabled by setting enableEEE to NO in the drivers Info.plist without rebuild. The default is YES.
  • The driver is published under GPLv2.

Limitations

  • As checksum offload doesn't work with jumbo frames they are currently unsupported and will probably never be.
  • No support for 32bit kernels.

Installation

Before you install the driver you have to remove any installed driver for RTL8111/8168.

  • Goto /S/L/E and delete the old driver (Lnx2mac, AppleRealtekRTL8169, etc.).

  • Recreate the kernel cache.

  • Open System Preferences and delete the corresponding network interface, e. g. en0. If you forget this step you might experience strange problems with certain Apple domains, iTunes and iCloud later.

  • Reboot.

Therefore no drivers or special software should be needed by Logitech. Register Your Product. To get the best customer care, product tips and more. You can search for your product by name, model number or part number. Or, locate your product using the categories below.

  • Install the new driver and recreate the kernel cache.

  • Reboot

  • Open System Preferences again, select Network and check if the new network interface has been created automatically or create it manually now.

  • Configure the interface.

Current status

The driver has been successfully tested under 10.8.2 - 10.12.6 with serveral versions of the RTL8111 and is known to work stable on these devices but you'll have to consider that there are 25 different revisions of the RTL8111. The RTL8111B/8168B chips have been reported to work since version 1.0.2 too.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you have followed the installation instructions especially when you have issues with certain domains while the others are working fine.
  • Use the debug version to collect log data when trying to track down problems. The kernel log messages can be found in /var/log/system.log. For Sierra and above use 'log show --predicate 'processID 0' --debug' in order to retrieve kernel logs. Include the log data when asking for support or giving feedback. I'm an engineer, not a clairvoyant.
  • Check your BIOS settings. You might want to disable Network Boot and the UEFI Network Stack as these can interfere with the driver.
  • Double check that you have removed any other Realtek kext from your system because they could prevent the driver from working properly.
  • Verify your bootloader configuration, in particular the kernel flags. Avoid using npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000.
  • In Terminal run netstat -s in order to display network statistics. Carefully examine the data for any unusual activity like a high number of packets with bad IP header checksums, etc.
  • In case auto-configuration of the link layer connection doesn't work it might be necessary to select the medium manually in System Preferences under Network for the interface.
  • Use Wireshark to create a packet dump in order to collect diagnostic information.
  • Keep in mind that there are many manufacturers of network equipment. Although Ethernet is an IEEE standard different implementations may show different behavior causing incompatibilities. In case you are having trouble try a different switch or a different cable.

FAQ

  • How can I retrieve the kernel logs?
    • In Terminal type 'grep kernel /var/log/system.log'.
  • I want to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) but I don't know how?
    • Take a look at the driver's Info.plist file. There you will find an option named enableEEE. Change its value from to . Don't forget to recreate the kernel cache after changing the value.
  • WoL from S5 doesn't work with this driver but under Windows it's working. Is this a driver bug?
    • No it isn't, the driver is working as it should because OS X doesn't support WoL from S5.

Known Issues

  • There are still performance problems with regard to SMB in certain configurations. My tests indicate that Apple's Broadcom driver shows the same behavior with those configurations. Obviously it's a more general problem that is not limited to my driver.
  • WoL refuses to work on some machines.
  • Old systems with 3 and 4 series chipsets exhibit performance issues in recent versions of macOS because there is no optimized power management for these systems in macOS anymore as Apple dropped support for the underlying hardware a long time ago. In case you are affected, please upgrade your hardware or find an alternative solution because I have no plans for a workaround. Sorry, but I don't think that it's worth the effort.
