What about drivers for network cards built into a motherboard (for native instalation). I have a ASUS P5GD1 Pro motherboard and it has a Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E gigabit ethernet controller which is not recognized by MacOS. Is there any way to get drivers for it? Maybe I should just get me a cheap realtek.

I got mine working perfectly. Only complaint is that Safari crashes every 2 mins or so. I have an Asus P4C800E Deluxe mobo with onboard LAN, and an external wifi card. OSx86 could not and will not recognize the linksys wifi card, so i had to deal with my LAN port, and try and get it running over my wireless network. So ipicked up a spare wireless router I had, threw the Alchemy firmware on it, set it to Client mode and changed about a thousand settings in it. Now my OSx86 technically has its own Airport extreme card, and by airport extreme, i mean giga-lan wired to a router. Getting my spare router to connect wirelessly to my main router was a {censored} though. Found some great articles online that helped a lot.

Do you think Safari's crashes are somehow related to the lan chipset? How is the behaviour of other internet softwares? Have you tried Firefox intead of Safari?

Thank you!
