My iAtkos v1.0 doesn't have internet?
iATKOS and other ports of Apple OS X are not designed to support hardware outside of what Apple uses in their Macintosh computers. Adding drivers to an OS X port requires experience with UNIX kernels and depends on the hardware you are running the operating system on. If you are not experienced with UNIX, you definitely should NOT be using an OS X port.
