what version did you use? rt1000.kexts really have confusing names hahah they don't indicate which is the latest version and how did ifconfig help before? do you suggest i do the same? by the way im using 64bit os thanks for the reply
tried the sudo ifconfig thing here's what happens
i type
sudo ifconfig en0 down
then it asks for password
i type the password
then i type
sudo ifconfig en0 up
what's supposed to happen? im a newbie by the way
This has been resolved: Download the new realtek ethernet adapter driver from realtek website ithing the version is 2.0.5 good luck hope this helps

I had a similar problem where I had to open terminal and do
sudo ifconfig en# down
sudo ifconfig en# up
I don't have this issue after patching with latest version of rt1000 however.
EDIT: # is ofc the number of you network device that you can find by just doign "ifconfig" in terminal.
you use RTGNICv2.0.3.pkg for your Lan or paste my DSDT to Partition SL
my DSDT :media fire.com/?kn5yce55nea5ab2
driver Lan :media fire.com/?c57yimw71329u86
hope helps
