Hi, all

i have installed Lion on Toshiba Satellite L655-S5078. it has Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-e Fast Ethernet Controller [1969:2060].

so, i tried to install AtherosL1cEthernet.kext using M u l t i B e a s t 4.3.1
and did followings in terminal manually because M u l t i B e a s t seems copied kext and didnt repair owner.

sudo -s
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

Added following lines in my org.chameleon.Boot.plist

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Booted. Then Entered -v -f args to make sure to not using kernelcache

But AtherosL1cEthernet.kext cant be loaded.
kernel log says

Kext com.insanelymac.AtherosL1cEthernet might not load - kextd is currently unavailable.

also, i have tried with

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>No</string>

Still got that error. and System Preferences shows no network adapter and System information is same.

Attached screenshot.

please help to solve that Atheros kext problem.
Thanks.

It works on my hack
however, there is a serious bug
when I unplug the Ethernet wire and boot into Mac, KP is sure to happen

M-beast installed the kext inside of IONetworkingFamily.kext. Most places where I find people using it is installed in /System/Library/Extensions.

You might relocate the kext and perform your permissions again.
