RESOLVED: RC2 + 10.5.8 = goofy network issue
« on: August 21, 2009, 04:24:14 AM »
Cheers,

I upgraded to 10.5.8 today and my ethernet network is broken..  but it's not so simple:

DNS works (UDP), and I can ping(ICMP).  But if I try SSH, http, or other higher level TCP connections, I get nothing after an initial response.  Meaning, if I watch tcpdump, I'll get an initial single packet response, but somehow the TCP session dies right away.  SSH connections never connect, urls in a web browser just say "Waiting for foo.com...".

So..  any ideas?  /var/log/system.log is clean.

I was trying various boot options and com.apple.Boot.plist things, but I'm rather new at that, and am not sure if I'm doing it right.  I was able to fix my UUID problems during this time, though, by adding a UUID.kext.

Thanks to Memorial's help in IRC, I was able to fix this by restoring a pre-10.5.8 copy of /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext.
