Yep, I had found that guide on Macworld and followed it, but thinking about it now, I think I didn't copy the chunklist over. I will try this when I get home tomorrow night and report back. Thanks again.
Thanks for the help Newhacker. I got it working with your kext, but the real problem was that I didn't have FakeSMC installed. I am a total newbie to anything Mac but am trying to build one for my father who has only ever used Mac OS machines AND so I can say I have done it!:) It has been a...

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext
