Field Note #1 @nfoav8or 2008-10-25

First, this thread has been moved because it was created in the wrong section.

Second, you don't need to reinstall in order to get the ethernet working. just enable show invisible files by using MainMenu from MacUpdate (mac update.com/info.php/id/17111) and look in your install DVD in the following folder (and subfolders) /System/Installation/Packages/

look for one suitable and install from there... now as far as which one is suitable for your M1201, can you give a few more specs about the motherboard?

EDIT: is the motherboard chipset an AMD 740G?

Field Note #2 @Aydinz 2008-10-25

we need to know what your motherboard is…not your CPU so we can tell you the proper LAN Kext that you need to make your internet work.
