first, THANK YOU LAWLESSPPC! (lawlessppc 10.5.4 AMD phenom)
first distro EVER to successfully get past installation and WORK 100%, well, 99.9%.
i have an AMD 9500 quad core, and as far as i can tellm a Nvidia nForce network controller.
i just cant get it to show up in my network.
i have tried 3 different kexts by searching through google (forcedeth, some other one and another one...) using kext installer, reboot and nothing.
does anyone have a fix or advice for this?
i really dont wanna buy a network card since i had to pay for a usb mosue and keyboard already.

Hiya I have a 9600 phenom system with an nforce chipset also. I used nForceLAN on 10.5.4 but that would not work in 10.5.5 when i updated. I then used forcedeth and that works great.
I have upped the nForceLAN kext here (kusari tech.com/files/nForceLAN.kext.zip) for you to try out.
Hope it helps

Get the driver from the original thread and you can ask the developer if it doesn't work for you.
