I have upgraded to Lion by following TonyMac's guide. I am unable to get my network card working. I have tried different AppleRTL8169Ethernet kexts files that I have found or have taken out of the IONetworkingFamily kext files. I have tried using Kext Helper and Kext Wizard and I repair permissions on my drive. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone offer any assistance? Thank you.

Did you ever have any luck?

I keep seeing people CLAIM that the 8169 works, but I've yet to see it myself. Have tried all the "fixes"... I think they're dyslexic and don't actually have 8169s! Or, they're all using the gigabyte onboard version... you have the Netgear card like I'm using, so I'm thinking that's the issue. I may end up having to *buy* a new card.... but with the state of people saying things work that don't I'm afraid to even buy something because I'm sure it won't actually work in a real system...

EDIT:
Finally got it working using THIS:
