Just wanted to post that CMOS reset and reconfiguring the BiOS afterwards solves this issue.

QUICK UPDATE: I came across this website (http://mergy.org/2012/09/mountain-lion-ethernet-problems-check-internet-sharing/) when googling for this problem. Right now, my configuration screen looks EXACTLY like that. It makes me wonder if something went wrong and that my network now thinks that I have Internet Sharing turned on when I actually don't. I went into Sharing and double checked for this. It shows off. So weird.

I just applied this kext. First restored a vanilla IONetworkingFamily.kext from my installation USB. Deleted conflicting/old kext(s) for RLC8168, installed the new one you linked via Kext wizard, repaired permissions and rebuilt the cache before booting up. The same problem persists still. Ethernet looks "Connected", but there's only an IP Address (169.254.xxx.xxx) and Subnet mask (255.255.0.0.). The network config window does not show a Router IP, a DPS Server or a Search Domain. They're all blank. Also, even weirder than that, the Ethernet connection actually remains "Connected" even if I UNPLUG the cable. So basically disconnecting the computer physically doesn't change whether or not the OS detects a connection. It's the weirdest thing ever. Edit: I should add that my router is unable to "see" my Mac in this case, whereas the Mac somehow thinks that it's connected when it clearly isn't.

Hey folks, Just this morning, I had perfectly functional ethernet connectivity. However, I was having some intermittent connection drops (or lost packets). After some extensive testing on my Windows partition and other computers, I determined that the problem wasn't my ISP or my router, but instead isolated pretty much to my OSX Mountain Lion installation. In an effort to fix this, I decided to update my ethernet kext file. I was using Lnx2Mac's Realtek drivers. I uninstalled these and installed these and installed the official Apple Realtek kext (into IONetworkingFamily.kext). I rebooted the machine and saw that my internet wasn't working. Not a big deal, I had the old kext backed up for this purpose. I went into IONetworkingFamily and deleted the official Apple Realtek plugin and proceeded to reinstall my backed up kext under S/L/E. I rebuilt the cache and repaired the permissions with Kext Wizard. When I rebooted back into OSX, something really weird happened. My Ethernet connection showed up as active. It had an IP address and a subnet mask. However, it did not have a Router IP and a DNS server. As such, even though it showed up as active, I could not connect to the internet. I tried my usual router restart with no results. At this point I'm pretty stumped. No idea how to proceed. I've attached a Send me.zip below in case that helps anyone out there to figure this out. Would really appreciate some guidance on the subject. I *am* running a custom DSDT.aml right now for audio settings, just FYI. Thanks heaps! Send me FlyingTinOpener.zip

Man, it really does. Worse yet, they get pretty hostile and dismissive when you ask for a bit of guidance. Never again... Anyways, the link you gave me got my internal sound working again just like it was before. A huge thanks for this. You guys write pretty clear guides that even a newbie like me can follow without problems. So at this point, my regular audio is working but my HDMI still isn't even though both the patches you linked me (original DSDT edit and also the ALC892 codec) are applied. I'm attaching another Sendme.zip below. Thanks so much for helping out. Send me FlyingTinOpener.zip

Hello, The DSDT booted successfully, without any kernel panics. However, it also broke my working on-board sound. The sound settings don't show anything under Output devices right now. I installed this setup using unishit/multishit and I have an AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler1.kext in my /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Is there a chance that these are conflicting with the DSDT.aml? If so, what can I do to get the dsdt working? Thanks again! You guys rock.

Hello! I've been working on trying to get my HDMI audio working for around a week now with no success. The guide over at tonycrapx86 led me nowhere and they weren't keen on helping out, so I'm back to square one with a fresh OSX Mountain Lion install. I just gave up on making this work on my own, but figured I'd post here when I saw that you guys are taking DSDT patch requests. Hardware: - Core i7 2600K 3.5GHz - ASRock P67 Extreme4 Gen3 - Gigabyte nVidia GTX 680 (w/ latest official drivers - QE/CI fully working) Attaching my Sendme.zip below. Thanks a lot in advance.
