I am trully sorry for the noobery that is my new thread, but I would really appreciate some help. I have never seen a driver in my life, let alone coded one, and while I think it would be fun to learn, I am a bit overwhealmed here. I just got my Kalyway up and running and my sound and vid are working fine, which is the most important thing. Here are my specs;

 

C2D E6600

2GB DDR2 800

Some crappy 80GB IDE Maxtor I found laying around I decided to test my Mac installation on

BFG 8800 GTX

MSI P6N SLI Platinum

 

So there you have it.

Newegg says my LAN Chipset is Realtek 8211BL. I havent really found a lot of info on this particular chipset. I did find this thread;

But I have to be honest with you guys, I have no clue what the guy is talking about or how to go about installing that driver.

 

I am understanding only bits and pieces, the one part where he writes "sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/forcedeth.kext", I am guessing that goes in the terminal, I think. But I really dont understand how to get to that point.

 

I ask for someone here with experience in this to please help me out and explain to me in noob terms how to install that solution in the thread I linked. If you have any better solution for me, I would appreacite it greatly.

 

Thank you very much for you time and I trully appreciate any help given. Have a good one.
