Q: Keep getting:  init: error getting PHY_MODE;  using MODE_UNKNOWN and /System/Library/Extensions/AppleOSXUSBNCM.kext not loading - Linc Davis can you help?

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) - 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 - 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB and have been trying to get a clean install.  I have tried everything including having Apple perform a clean install but I keep running into the same problems of security.  I have used Norton and many other products to try and aid in preventing me from being hacked again.  I think Linc Davis rocks on the support site and have tried running his code and fixes but maybe my issues are more complex that one single fix.  I do know that I have an image that always remains resident which is most likely the source of all my grief.  These are the most recent support IDs I have looked at for assistance:

MacBook Pro Suddenly Can't Connect to the Internet

I cannot access HTTP sites, only HTTPS sites on Safari.

 

Based on Linc Davis's code here is the outcome:
