Asus P5k Premium WiFi/AP

Using USB Key Boot123. All Kext's are added to the INITRD.img


$kstat and search for yukon. Gave me this:
com.apple.iokit.AppleYukon (1.0.11b2) <36 18 17 6 5 4 2>

So this means that only AppleYukon.kext was used.

If I added the AppleYukon2.kext it would not load but would some how trigger some other kext not to use my Dlink BlueTooth.
So I removed it and the Bluetooth works now.

I also have 88E8056.
It works with AppleYukon v1.0.0d30 but not with 1.0.11b3.

Nothing works with 8040.

the archive and installer worked like a charm on my p5k-e. thanks.
i didn't have a password set for my account and the installer didn't like that.

I love this site. The Marvell 88E8056 Gig Ethernet port came up with these kexts (from the archive) after software upgrade to 10.5.8 broke my install. This is on a Shuttle K48 with E6750 and 2GB memory... everything works again.
