Having overworked myself for the last too-many months (which also explains the
lack of posts here), it was finally time to get some vacations from paid
work...
The moment I touched the Apple ][ in 1982, my life changed forever !!!
Since then, you changed the world and almost everything around our lives...
Not just how we look at and interact with computers, but how we listen to music, watch movies and communicate with others.
Thank you Steve Jobs !

After several months of development (and regrettable delays due to work obligations and health issues), 203 packaged builds, 71 Alpha testers, and 4 test iterations, a new beta version of the Realtek RTL81xx driver is finally ready to be released.
Anyway, Apple's release of the 10.6.8 Mac OS X Snow Leopard update yesterday are news big enough to free some time, get over my writer's block and write this post.
As usual, “this update is recommended for all Mac OS X Snow Leopard users...” Is it? Really? And what about Hackintosh users?
Does your OnBoard Realtek Ethernet port seem dead ?
Can't you get it working on any Operating System ?
Are you getting the dreaded "Self-Assigned IP" ?
While the development of a new beta driver is taking longer than I would like, I decided to create an OS X Installer Package for a slightly modified version of the current Beta 0.0.67
This should help in getting a smooth installation of the driver in no-time (while requiring less Hackintosh expertise).
