Free ethernet 1.0 software for mac

Although USB to Ethernet adaptors are cheap and plentiful, Mac OS X drivers are not.
USB-to-Ethernet offers you USB to Ethernet Adaptor Drivers.
There are two basic catagories of USB-To-Ethernet adaptors:
- USB 1.1 devices that use a Pegasus driver.
- USB 2.0 devices that use a AX8817x driver (or its successor, the AX88772).
Each disk image includes an installer for Panther or Tiger, and a "src" folder containing the corresponding xCode projects.
Installation
Download and mount the appropriate driver disk image listed above, run the corresponding installer for Panther or Tiger, and then restart your system as suggested. The Installer will ask you to authenticate so it can place the corresponding driver in "/System/Library/Extensions/" with the correct file permisions to load as a kernel extension.
Next, plug-in your Ethernet adaptor with a live Ethernet cable attached. When you open the Network Preferences panel, it should inform you that a new port has appeared and ask if you want to enable it. Enable the new port and apply your network settings. Thats it.
Each driver is pre-configured to recognize a handfull of common devices. If your device does not appear to be recognized by the driver, you might have to add it to the Info.plist file, which is located inside the USBPegasusEthernet.kext or USBAx8817x.kext directory. You can use the System Profiler or USBProber tool to find the corresponding Product ID and Vendor ID.
To uninstall the driver, make sure any USB adaptors are disconnected, and then drag the corresponding driver in /System/Library/Extensions/ USBPegaususEthernet.kext or USBAx8817x.kext to the trash. You may need to authenticate that you have administrator privileges.
USB 1.1 Performance
The Pegasus chipset provides a USB 1.1 compatible implementation which could be a concern for some users. USB 1.1 runs at 1.5 Mbps (low speed) or 12 Mbps (full speed). For best performance, its important to isolate any low speed devices on a separate bus. Mice and keyboards often run at low speed.
Using the Link Rate tool in IPNetMonitorX, I measured the link rate to another device on my LAN as 6 Mbps. The built-in Ethernet on my 12" PBG4 reported 44 Mpbs. When I measured the link rate to the next hop router through my cable modem, it reported 1 mbps. It didnt make any difference whether I used Ethernet built-in or the USB-To-Ethernet adaptor. Finally, I downloaded a 2.2 MB file to compare the throughput using the Monitor tool.
Both downloads took 5 seconds, but Ethernet built-in reached a peak rate of 589 KBps versus 579 kBps. Repeating the experiment several times produced similar results. Ethernet built-in might be 1-2% faster, but performance was clearly limited by the speed of my cable modem (Your Mileage May Vary).
USB 2.0 Performance
The AX8817x chip set provides a USB 2.0 compatible implementation which runs at up to 480 Mbps (high speed), so it should be possible to keep up with 100 Mbps fast ethernet as long as there are no other slower devices on the same bus. To test this I copied a 64.8 MB music file to my PBG4 laptop connected through a LinkSys USB200M Ethernet Adaptor (en3) and compared this to the same file transfer using Built-in Ethernet (en0).
Both transfers reached 10 MBps (80-90 Mbps) and took about 10 seconds. I repeated the test in the other direction.
While the USB-To-Ethernet adaptor was slightly slower, at 80 Mbps there was little noticeable difference. Files moved quickly from one system to another via 100 Mbps fast Ethernet. Copying the same file using AirPort wireless took 50-90 seconds.
Stability
While other USB-To-Ethernet drivers are reported to be buggy, I havent encountered any stability problems to date. The adaptor turns off when the computer goes to sleep and comes back on when the computer awakes. It does not support "Wake On LAN" at this time.
Wrap Up
This USB-To-Ethernet Adaptor combination could be an attractive solution for a Mac Mini, or old iBook used as an Internet gateway or server. Im particularly fond of using old laptops as servers since they are compact, quiet, use little energy, and include their own battery backup.

Ethernal is a simple tool for visualizing all incoming and outgoing Ethernet packets. The source code of the application is available.
I wanted to learn how to read raw Ethernet packets on MacOS X. After going through several examples, I ended up writing this little piece of software. It uses the Berkeley Packet Filter device to read all incoming and outgoing Ethernet packets. I have wrapped the whole thing in a Cocoa GUI using the new bindings features of Mac OS 10.3.
Main features:
- Reads all incoming/outgoing Ethernet packets
- Displays the packet content in hexadecimal/ascii
- Finds any string in packet
- Filters packets
- Dynamic display width
- Save/load packets to disk.

Granet (Graph networking) is a simple, no-cost utility that graphs the throughput of each active network interface on your computer. It works with most any network interface recognized by the OS (including Ethernet, Airport, and PPP).

Each interface is displayed in its own window which can be moved and re-sized from small to large. Each window scales independently so the graph is drawn appropriately throughout the throughput range.

Apple Ethernet Driver 1.1.10 is developed to be an essential update which provides improved connection stability. This updater is recommended for all Xserve systems and PowerMac systems with the Apple PCI or PCI-X Ethernet card installed.

QTSpeed 1.0 is considered as a helpful tool which is designed for PowerBook users who have, say, an Ethernet connection at the office but a modem connection while on the road.

QuickTime can download media that is optimized for a given bandwidth, based on the speed that you have selected in the QuickTime Control Panel. Now, with the QTSpeed LMM you can configure QuickTime's Connection Speed setting along with your other Location settings.

GetMacAddress is a small palette to show the ethernet MacAddress of your Macintosh. Even if this information can be retrieved with Apple System Profiler or by System Preferences/Network, you can use this free utility for quick locate and copy your MacAddress.

MacAddress means Media Access Control Address. It is the part of the data-link layer of a network protocol that defines how devices should share media to exchange messages with each other (802.11 or Ethernet frames, for example).

Each device on a LAN needs to have a unique address (just like every globally-addressable device on the Internet has to have a unique IP address) to know where to send frames.

Requirements:
NetMinder Ethernet 5.0.x.

Enhancements:
Version 5.0.2 fixes the following:

• support for decode of mDNS (Rendezvous) protocol
• optimization of the four Analysis windows to rapidly sort and display the top 100 addresses for traffic analysis purposes
• fixes to AppleShare/IP decodes

Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (ADTPro) transfers diskettes and logical disk images between Apple ][-era computers and the modern world.
If youre familiar with the original ADT, ADTPro extends ADTs reach by working with more logical disk formats, drive types, communications devices, and host operating systems.
There is a host (server) component that runs on modern computers with Java, and an Apple II (client) component that runs on any Apple II compatible computer with at least 64k of memory.
ADTPro transfers disks using any of these communications devices:
- Super Serial Card, IIgs modem port or IIc serial port at 115,200 BPS
- Uthernet Ethernet card
- The Apples cassette ports
ADTPro can be used to transfer either Apple diskette/disk images in DOS or ProDOS format. The Apple client side happens to run under ProDOS, but it is perfectly capable of reading or writing Apple DOS (or Pascal, or CP/M, or...) diskettes.
Server
The server program runs on a computer capable of running Java. Depending on how you want to connect to your Apple, you might also need a serial port and cables, an Uthernet card for your apple, or a couple of audio patch cables. The server offers a compact user interface that shows what communications are taking place between the host and the Apple.
The servers primary role is to send and receive disk images as requested from the client. But if you have recently acquired an Apple and a disk drive, and you have no software for it - youre in a bit of a tricky situation if you want to move software from the Internet all the way to your shiny new Apple. ADTPros server can help get you get bootstrapped.
Client
The client side runs on the Apple ][. It handles most of the user interaction. When choosing disks/volumes to transfer, anything that ProDOS can see is fair game.
Transferring data occurs with a 20k buffer on the Apple, so all transfers are broken up into 20k chunks. A progress indicator shows how far it is into the current chunk, as well as a running count of the total progress.
Main features:
- Compatibility with any device ProDOS can read
- Compatibility with any Apple ][ (or clone) computer with 64k memory
- Compatibility with many logical disk image formats: .DSK, .PO, .NIB, 2IMG
- Server compatibility with original ADT client program
- Server compatibility with Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and probably Solaris
- Ability to bootstrap an Apple ][ from bare metal over serial or cassette ports
- Ability to send floppies in batch mode without having to name each one
Enhancements:
New functionality:
- [Client] The formatting function is now integrated instead of being a separate program
- [Client] Volume picker screen sets the default slot/drive for the BASIC interpreter
Bug fixes:
- [Client] (Finally) fixed audio transfer retry logic - darn Java and its signed bytes! Audio transfers are reliable at last. Slow as ever, but reliable.
- [Client] Fixed 15-character volume name bugs: one in the formatter, one in the online displayer/picker
- [Client] Made the Uther slot-scanning algorithm a little less intrusive, and used a MHz-insensitive timing loop to make UDP timeouts a little more reasonable on accelerated machines
- [Client] Used a MHz-insensitive timing loop to make the delightful beeping noise sound the same no matter how fast the CPU is going
- [Server] Better flow control for serial bootstrapping - improves life for serial interfaces that do their own buffering (i.e. Keyspan USA-28)
