I installed Zephyroth Leo 10.5.2 but there is no sound and no LAN. I tried several options at the installation and tried to install several different kext files after a successful install but still my system says there is no built-in audio. As for the LAN, it is detected, but it says no cable plugged. nForceEthernet.kext or something that I tried actually assigned the IP using DHCP but network is not working.

Has this issue been resolved? Thanks

Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP
Audio: ADI 1988 7.1 Channel High Definition HD Audio
LAN: NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP built-in Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY

Field Note #1 @scottsaunders 2008-02-27

similar problem to me, my mobo is based on the Nforce 590 but the same problems.

I am not sure if there is a fix yet as I have tried posting the same issue on "forum.insanelymac.com" and no-one seems to know.
