Ok so all that is left is getting my ethernet adapter to work so I don't have to use my usb adapter I have a D-Link DFE-530TX+ ethernet adapter and it works on Tiger. Any ideas on which kext it would be? Also I have the cd that came along with it and it has a dmg for the driver but everytime I install it, it fails to work so could I possibly get the kext from the cd?

Have you tried with the Mac driver from D-Link site: DFE530TX+ driver v3.46 (ftp.dl ink.com/NIC/dfe530tx+/Driver/DFE530TX+_driver_%20346.zip)
I'm telling you there is no way possible for this to work. Even throughout the previous releases. Realtek is waiting for you.
better to wait then, =) play with it and see how far you can get.

@ I just checked your audio kext post. there was always a kext available for that actually for some time now. If I were you think twice before considering a purchase. google your way in regards to finding a kext your dlink card.
See if this helps, hey, you never know: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=29854 ↗
