After installing iATKOS 2.0, I did not find audio or LAN drivers for my m/board in it, so I investigated and experimented after the install and found a LAN solution.

 

Drivers from:

 

DaemonES Realtek Driver

 

and

 

Realtek

 

zip file, only worked for the Internet and not for my local shared G5. So dug and found

 

this

 

insanely thread, a 10.5.3 install guide which mentions having problems with the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P v 2.1 onboard Realtek LAN chip. My GA-EX38-DS4 probably has the same chip. After disabling the onboard chips in bios I installed a PCI TrentNet TEG-PCITXR LAN card which has the Realtek 8169 chip instead and uses native Apple drivers. Worked like a charm and was $8.00 @ Frys. iAtkos 2.0 10.5.2 continue to be zero problems after several installs and experiments and is the only thing working consistently and a snap to install. Everything is solid and fast. Xbench stock clocked is 145 and 225 with disk checked off. Now on to audio, hope this driver problem doesn't take another week. :)
