Asus a8n network

Dudes,

After a large amount of attempts i want to try something different then the onboard nforce4 lan.
The reason is because of kernel panics/ crashes while doing some webpages or connect to windows machine over the network. I've tried skg.kexts, a number of forcedepth kexts.

Now i would like to try it with other network cards:

-Intel(R) PRO/100+ Management Adapter with Alert on LAN*
-If intel is not working: Ethernet controller (0200) Winband Electronica Corp W89c94B {1050:0940}

I've tried both in osx86 Leopard. In bios disabled onboard nforce lan. But no luck so far.
I found some information on insanelymac:
-AppleIntel8255x.kext(Intel PRO/100 VE NIC), IONetworkingFamily.kext
-Change the string of the AppleIntel8255x.kext.

Here's my lspci:
