What is interesting is that they don't seem to have a naming convention for the Kext folder (see my other post). rick _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

From the other side, this article:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/installerpolicy.html explicitly prohibits to put something into /System/Library folder and recommends to use /Library instead: This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
