Yes, that's where it was hiding. Didn't know that OSX system had kexts hiding within kexts. Deleted it and now the correct kext installs and the internet and home network accessible.
I've done that, I've deleted every version of the kext that shows up anywhere. I have used 'showhiddenfiles' app to make sure I'm seeing every file. And again, as I said, I've used every kext installer I can find. Kext Utility, Kext Wizard, OSX86 tools, .Kext Helper b7, ###### (where I tried to install the lnx2mac kext) and I've even used this :
All report the kext as installed, but after every reboot the Sys Info apt reports the the R1000 kext still installed even though it no longer shows up in a search and no changes from the Network Utility.
I've even tried installing the kext from my Snow Leopard install using ###### and OSX86tools.
