well this is weird.. i reverted back to the original faulty .kext, and instantly got a connection to a wireless network somewhere in this building when i rebooted(albeit only 2 bars).

im starting to think that it may simply be that the security update borks the permissions of the kext just enough that it doesnt function right, but not bad enough to prevent the system from booting.

i'll see what happens when i get home and try to hop onto my network.

will post updates because i know this is a common problem

grimm: this has nothing to do with windows whatsoever.. why even bring it up? its simply a poorly programmed security fix that apple released a few months ago. don't drag microsoft into it if you don't know what you're talking about
