These kexts freeze when your system spikes during downloads (speed is too high) so I use little snitch and my router to put a cap on an instantaneous download speed (anything under 500 KB/sec I can live with). I have yet to try the skge.kext you mentioned. How is this better? right now I'm using the nForceEthernetDriver.kext (probably a variation of one of the above mentioned kexts too). Because of the editing of plist files, we are Forcing the ethernet to work with it so naturally we will get some backlash if not regulated (hence my cap). are any of the other files specifically for certain boards and not to be messed with on others?
also, just thought I'd throw my hat in on permissions 
Code:
sudo -s
cd /System/Library/
chmod -R 755 Extensions/ && chown -R 0:0 Extensions/ && touch Extensions/
diskutil repairPermissions /
I've found that the touch actually makes the system think they are native extensions instead or recognizing some as non-Apple and therefore will repair all of them. Oh well, 21 more characters in the same line won't kill me if this is overdoing it.
