Any ideas on which kext it would be? Also I have the cd that came along with it and it has a dmg for the driver but everytime I install it, it fails to work so could I possibly get the kext from the cd?

Have you tried with the Mac driver from D-Link site: DFE530TX+ driver v3.46 (ftp.dl ink.com/NIC/dfe530tx+/Driver/DFE530TX+_driver_%20346.zip)
yup, I have the cd that came with the ethernet adapter, I Tried installing it through the installer on the cd but nothing I even tried putting the dlkfet kext into the extensions folder and loaded the kext but when I rebooted still no internet access.
I'm telling you there is no way possible for this to work. Even throughout the previous releases. Realtek is waiting for you.
haha WinLinMac01 are you sure bcuz I got my sound to work through this way, I know I know just payday isn't till friday
better to wait then, =) play with it and see how far you can get.

@ I just checked your audio kext post. there was always a kext available for that actually for some time now. If I were you think twice before considering a purchase. google your way in regards to finding a kext your dlink card.
