Ok I found some kexts for the Atheros Ethernet port. Here's the link.

http://code.google.com/p/iats/

I haven't got it working correctly though.

When I try to install it, I keep getting the "the system extension cannot be used" error.

UPDATE: I figured out how to make this work

Quote:
extract the zip to your desktop (not into a folder, literally to your desktop) this means there should be a file on your desktop called AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

Go to Terminal

type sudo -s in terminal then your admin password following this, now you should be root.

type cd /System/Library/Extensions

type sudo mv /users/(YOUR USERNAME)/desktop/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext /system/library/extensions
at this point the file AtherosL1cEthernet.kext should have dissapeared from the desktop,

type sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

type sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

now, CLOSE TERMINAL
then go to /system/library and look for
Extensions.mkext, and also look for extensions.kextcache,

DELETE BOTH OF THESE FILES (dont worry theyll come back on nxt boot.)
