Well that cleared it up for me. THX myzar & semthex.

Patching IONetworkingFamily.kext on my 10.4.9 system got everything working. Check my iDisk Public folder.

the ionetworking patch itself works lmutil lmhostid works , unfortunately it's crashing for something else reason not related to the same maya problem.

I have the same issue with the ASP hardware overview tab since 10.4.8, my solution to get around the problem is to replace SPPlatformReporter.spreporter with one from 10.4.6

thanks to consolation, everything is now working fine.

anyone who need may ask me the combination of AppleSMBios/LoginWindow/ASP files I'm using.

Gotoh, I'd be interested.

Although I think the more I read the less I understand

If your interested I had a play with SPPlatformReporter. You can see what I found here.

I'm using:
LoginWindow - 4.6.6
AppleSMBIOS - 1.0.6
SystemProfiler - I think (I can't rememberer for sure), is from the latest distribution with the an old version of SPPlatformReporter.spreporter.
IONetworkingFamily - is from the latest distribution but with a patch applied (Patch made by A.Woland @ IM). Wish I could compile my own.

All working in theory (although I don't have CS3 to prove it).

I have :
loginwindow 4.6.5
applesmbios 1.0.9
spplatform is from 10.4.6 and the rest of ASP plugins are from 10.4.9 combo update (I think)

I'll send you the files I have.

but cs3 flexcrap is working with that combination now ?

For me, CS3 works perfect with:

applesmbios 1.0.6
loginwindow 4.3.1 (from 10.4.4, maybe)
spplatform 6.9 (from 10.4.6, as I recall)

no wonder we can never agree on what works or not, everyone's got different odds and sods....

yep, everything CS3 works just fine with the combo I'm using myzar, if you want the files I have, just let me know, I'll send you the archive... (just pm me your mail address)

the 1.0.6 applesmbios does trick
