Could you please provide reference to the documentation about / Library/Extensions/ folder?
I do remember i was study this question in the Tiger times, and was adviced against this by apple engineers.



The only reason to install in /S/L/E is if the KEXT is needed to boot the OS from disk.

Not only, any device drivers which need to be loaded in responce to device plugged in, AFAIC.

yeah, we have the same experience.

Better /S/L/E than /L/E even though /L/E would be preferred, but in practice for some reason it didn't pan out in testing.

Haven't done much regression testing against SL so maybe it changed.

thanks!-
