I just installed iAtkos S2 Snow Leopard on my m9040n quad core desktop, but I'm having problems getting it to recognize my built-in gigabit ethernet. I was able to get my wireless working and I installed another network card; however, for some reason both of them are painfully slow on my broadband.

Any assistance would be great!

Let me know if you need any further specs or anything else. FYI, I'm new to InfiniteMac, so bear with me.

Someone attached a custom kext to their post on another thread (sorry I don't remember which one and who it was…I think devil was his name or something like that).

Here's that same kext that he posted for those that may be experiencing the same issue I did.
