I dunno, I use the same old network driver. I have a nforce4 and marvell yukon, but bios-deactivated, and i access internet through firewire (using my macbook as an expensive wireless modem), but I ma pretty sure it worked before the security update, actually (i mean, it definitely worked, and pretty sure it worked with firewire/ip).
ahhh. fuck this.

oh, yes. now i remember the expensive wireless modem you have (i laugh about it every time, no offense). that sucks man. wish i had a suggestion. "ahhh. fuck this." <---- that's exactly how i've been feeling lately :)

What wireless router does he have that is so expensive?

He is using his Macbook as the router.

ok, i am an idiot. Somehow the permissions were messed up by the update (?!), so a disk utility/repair permissions solved everything. Bizarre, though.

lol.

happens to the best of us ;)

Permissions could have also been resolved through the Onyx Utility, but you still did good. No doubt about it.
