While downloading a file (10.6.8 combo update for example) the downloading progress will stop. At this point I can try to access a website but I have no network anymore. If I click stop downloading then I get my network connection back.

Does anyone have any ideas? I tried the Realtek drivers in multibeast and also tried lnx2macs drivers as well. My specs are below.

GA-P55A-UD3.
GeForce 9500
I have a DSDT I found that allows sleep to work. I install sound with multibeast and everything else works.

TIA
 
Just an update... I have noticed the normal green network light changes to orange when I lose network. I am kind of thinking that the NIC in the motherboard is going bad.

Is it possible that a bad or incorrect kext can cause network to stop? It actually takes down the whole network when the light changes orange.

I am trying to decide if I should buy an external NIC and turn off the onboard one or concentrate on different kexts.... Or buy a new motherboard/processor/ram to update my machine. :)
