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!

Well, the download and install went fine, but apple system profiler doesn't see the card. Tomorrow I'll try out different slots.
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.

Well, this G4 in question is pretty funky, so it wouldn't supprise me if it was slots.
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
Using a different slot.
