We bought a Apple USB Ethernet Adapter (MC704ZM/A), to replace it.
Setting this up was not straightforward, for starters they do not bundle the driver on Mountain Lion for the iMac!
Luckily I've got a Mac Mini at home, so I could copy the driver from there.
The steps you should take are:
- Find/Download AppleUSBEthernet.kext file (will be within IONetworkingFamily.kext - full path to this is below)
- In Finder open System > Library > Extensions
- (To open a .kext file, right click > Show Package Contents)
- Open /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
- Copy AppleUSBEthernet.kext into the folder IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
- You will be prompted for your administrator password.
- Open Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Then "Repair file permissions"
- Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal. Run the following command
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEthernet.kext
- You will be prompted for your administrator password.
- Open Applications > System Preferences > Network. You should now have 'USB Ethernet' as a connection on the left hand side. If not you can add it with the + at the bottom of the left pane.
- You may find as I did that once plugged in your USB Ethernet will show as connected, but you won't be able to use the internet. If this happens, use the Assist Me > Assistant within Network and it should fix it for you.
All being well, you should have replaced your temperamental physical Ethernet port with a USB one.
(Update) This solution does not work after you have restarted your mac.
You need to run
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEthernet.kext
again to load the driver.(Update) This solution does not work after you have restarted your mac.
You need to run
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEthernet.kext
I have set up a Unix executable which runs this command on startup. System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items. This is far from ideal, as the user is prompted for their password to run this.
Luckily we don't restart the Mac very often, but I will search for a more elegant solution.
Any Mac experts out there who know how to load this driver on startup in a more elegant way, please let me know!
Hello. I read a post in stackoverflow about Sharepoint and sqlserver.exe 100% cpu (sql-server-hogging-cpu-and-memory-caused-by-system-clock-change)
ReplyDeleteOur Sharepoint SQL server had a consumption of 15% of CPU and 8 vCPUs. It has been like this for months.
Yesterday we configured the SQL server with 4 vCPUs but CPU increased to 100%. Then we went back at 8 vCPUs, but CPU still consuming (more than 50% of CPU) during the day. Today, the CPU returns to normal consumption of 15%.
Sharepoint needs to reindex something after any change in the SQLserver? (maybe the search service...).
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
