[solved] GA-X58A-UD3R cant detect the network card

[jdc]

Hi

I just installed my first hackintosh using this guide
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=931&start=0 . My hardware is the exact same one as the guide, very few difference, a GA-x58A-UD3R motherboard

I7-920
NVidia GeForce 9800 GT
8 GB RAM (I installed everything using only 4 GB)
I added a PCI (800MBps) Firewire card, that works without even installing anything

Almost everything worked out, except for the ethernet card and the sound. I fixed the sound installing the voodoo 0.2.1 kext instead of the LegacyHD.
I installed the RealtekR100sl.kext

So looking at /var/log/kernel.log

I have this error that i can also see when the computer boots.

kernel[0]: AppleRTL8169Ethernet: Unknown hardware version ID (2c000000)
kernel[0]: AppleRTL8169Ethernet: probeHardware() failed

which makes me believe it is not loading the appropriate kext, looking around that RTL8169 kext is inside IONetworkingFamily.kext
Is there a way to force the OS X to work with that kext.

One more thing I should add is that the kext is loaded and running.

when i do

$ kextstat |grep -i real

i get this

63     0 0xffffffffff80904000 0xf000   0xf000 com.chucko.driver.RealtekR1000 (2.0.0d1) <62 9 5 4 3 1>

So the kext it is loaded, is there another way to get that card up an running. shoudl i deleter cd AppleRTL8169 kext inside IONetworkFamily.kext.
I tried moving the RealktekR1000SL.kext to /System/Library/IONetworkFamily.kext/Content/Plugins/
The kext loads but i have no ethernet card.
Should I print another log, where can i find more info of what is happening. (I am more of a linux guy)
