Im having trouble getting networking to work i have tried both the kexts in the mutlibeast install and neither have worked. So what do i try next?

are the DSDT fixes just for graphics and audio or can that be used for networking aswell.

ok so after looking at dell's website it appears the onboard lan is Broadcom BCM57788 LOM.

Ok so i have now got my usb ethernet adaptor and it worked straight away with no modifications to any kexts etc i would highly recommend buying the apple one like i have as it should work better with osx though other adaptors are available.
 
Re: dell inspiron 580 no ethernet

Well after searching all day there seems to be nothing on the net about this broadcom onbaord ethernet so is there good pcie ethernet card i can buy that will easily work with snow leopard?

Edit: Ok now im thinking of getting a usb ethernet adaptor so does the apple usb ethernet work with 10.6.3?
