Hi, would it be possible to host the compiled kext here in the release section? Unfortunately I cannot compile the kext myself, due not having a running osx installation. While the compiled kext is released over at insanelymac, the site does not let me create an account. (I think something over there is broken, it does not send me a confirmation email, and if I click on "resend", I end in a 404 error.) Anyway, hosting the release here would eliminate the need to create an account on insanelymac.

Yes, this is correct. But you need to register an account at insanelymac to have access to that download. While one the one hand I do not think you should be forced to register with a third party site, only to download the precompiled binary, my specific problem with insanelymac was that their registration process had issues a few days ago, so even while I was willing to register, I could not.

This could be easily fixed by uploading releases in here as well. (Side note, I managed to compile the driver in a virtual machine, so I personally do not need it any more, but I still think this is relevant)

I'm sorry, but I decided to centralize distribution of prebuilt binaries and support on insanelymac.com in order to save time and have a place where everything is bundled..
