same exact issue here.. 1005ha after update to 10.6.6 (no need to run again 
nbi) i reboot, netbook hangs on  NBI bootscreen after a while i reboot again 
(forced) and everything works, except wifi.

I suppose that's because NBI installs it's own wifi kexts and that may cause 
some incompatibility..

Any help would be really appreciated

I think maybe i should remove some kext installed by NBI but when i run pfix 
boot will no longer work.

please help

Hello,

I finally get working my wifi ar5005 running: 10.6.4 kext + adding pci device.

I really downloaded full 10.6.4 combo, extract the kext with pacifist and 
modify. Several kext i have tried supposed to be 10.6.4 working in my case not 
working. Maybe you prefer follow my steps and try.

I hope this help :)
