Is it possible...

When I installed 10.4.10 Tubgirl AMD my internet and sound card worked perfectly.
D-Link - Desktop 10/100 PCI Network Card(DFE-530TX+)
My sound card came with the mobo (detachable)
SupremeFX Audio Card
Audio Channels 8 Channels

Could I possibly copy the drivers from my Tiger hdd to the Leopard hdd to get my sound/internet card to work?

I believe they should work.

now quick question. Sorry I am new at this, I was just thinking about it and that idea popped in my head. Would I just need to copy the .kext files into /system/library/extensions? Or do I need to do something in the terminal?

open a terminal and type

sudo -s
(type your password)

cd /system/library/extensions

chmod -R 755 * && chown-R root:wheel *

cd ..

rm extensions.mkext

kextcache -a i386 -e

reboot

oh cool thanks, so exactly like that?
sudo -s
(type your password)

cd /system/library/extensions

chmod -R 755 * && chown-R root:wheel *

cd ..

rm extensions.mkext

kextcache -a i386 -e

reboot

for both my internet kext and sound kext

ok sweet thanks. Is it easy to find the .kexts? again sorry I am new at this just thought I would experiment around.

what kext do you need? you know that?
do you have a working tiger install?
do you need extract the kext from the tubgirl iso?

I am not sure yet what kexts I need. Right now I don't have tiger installed, but in a few minutes I am going to pick up an old computer from my friends house, reformat the hdd and install Tiger that way I can get the kexts.

OK, but you still need to know which .kexts made them work... Does D-Link make OSX "drivers" ( an installer... ) for that network card? Did you check their website?

OOPS! Like, right HERE:

If the audio card is "detachable", you should pull it briefly and look at the largest chip - see if you can get the markings off it - Manufacturer & etc. (like Realtek, or C-Media, ADI, and if there's a model number - not for the card itself, for the chipset) You probably need to know exactly what sound chipset is used to find the proper .kext or installer.

I did that, ran the installer and it reboots, when I click on safari, after it reboots, it still doesn't work and I click on the network settings and it doesn't show my adapter.
