Drivers "kexts" are stored in the extensions folder. OSX creates a cache file called Extensions.mkext of all the appropriate drivers. What we are doing is adding a new driver, repairing permissions and deleting the cache file so that OSX is forced to create a new one with the new driver.
The reason that we have to use line 1 and line 3 is that repairing permissions only works with Apple kexts. OSX does not know what permissions to set thirdparty/homemade kexts to so we use the 1st line.
Thanks. I'll try this tomorrow.
