Onboard ethernet got zapped a year ago. Used a USB Wireless for awhile. Then moved to my NIC a month ago. One USB port in the back of the QS is a bit loose, but seems to hold its own for now. All USB/FW onboard ports are working. I needed extras for other devices, currently not connected. Anything I might do to remove any dependence on trying to startup the onboard ethernet? I'm able to go into IONetworkingFamily.kext and remove the Plugin(s) ... well with some refresher help.

Just replaced the PRAM Battery (had a new one lying close by), and did the CUDA (although I think removing the battery does that too?) First Startup and the M-Audio driver didn't load.
