i've tried deleting and reinstalling the kext with both kext helper b7 and kext wizard, and rebuilding kext cache. I've tried using the zip file attachee to this thread, and rebuilding the kext from the source. No difference. I verified the device id w/ dpci manager.
Not sure what else to try?
it "works" with the hacked 5701 kext floating around, in that it gets an ip and can connect, but the hacked 5701 has horrible upload problems that make it incredibly slow or times out, which is why I arrived here.
Any ideas?

try as what Astarael said, try loading the kext manually, and look for any fail message logged. if the kext is loading, it should at least log a build date/time message.
actually there has been a report on the same behavior as this. i'm still investigating what causes this problem and most likely come to a dead end.
btw, do you have a vanilla or distro install?
