I just obtained the OS X beta version of the driver for Asante's 590 series NIC card. The read me file instructs me to do:
1 Download the driver folder : AsanteEthernet.kext
2 Drag the folder "AsanteEthernet.kext" and drop in to the Extensions
folder (System : Library : Extensions : AsanteEthernet.kext)
3 - Reboot the system.
4 - Login as root and setup the network with 590 card.
I have not been able to gain write access to modify the System:Library:Extensions folder. Is access to this folder possible, or do I have to copy the file into my root user directory folder? Unfortunately, the Mac OS X help application has a category on how to do this, but it requires an internet connection to download a HTML document. What sucks is I have to use ethernet to connect to the internet in the first place. Since the OS doesn't recognize the NIC card, I am stuck in a catch-22. Please help anyone?
