hi, here is the last hexedited version of the AppleBCM kext, this one is specific for BCM5787M 14e4:1693
there is an huge readme included, please read it, it explain everything. you can have your mac address with this one and i encourage you to set yours it has been tested on some different configurations and it seem to work, i'm using it to post right now if it don't work for you,be sure you have a 14e4:1693 device then report here, thanks good luck
Broadcom5787M.zip ( 110.89K )
Number of downloads: 10624N.B. these kexts are intended for Leopard, up to 10.5.8 --EDIT See this post for BCM5784M - thanks to Boombeng http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=963461 --EDIT UPDATE Snow leopard (10.6.2 & 10.6.3) Broadcom 5787M kext - do not use this with Leopard 10.5.8 and older.
5787M_32_64Bit_AppleBCM5701.zip ( 167.93K )
Number of downloads: 792INSTALLATION: use kext utility to install, or do it manually if you know how. This kext don't read the MAC address of the card, you need to set it manually if you need, to do it open a terminal session and type "sudo ifconfig en0 (or en1 if you have more than one card) lladdr YO:UR:MA:CA:DD:RS it works both on 32 and 64 bit modes. -EDIT UPDATE 2 Snow Leopard 10.6.3 only (untested on 10.6.2 and earlier)
10.6.3.5787M.zip ( 180.79K )
Number of downloads: 1112This is the last version, and it come from 10.6.3. FINALLY IT SUPPORT MAC ADDRESS FROM THE CARD, no more needs to set it manually. Features: Read mac address from the nic support 32 and 64 bit modes support sleep/unloading To INSTALL, update to 10.6.3 and replace the original Apple kext into IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins fix permissions and reboot. (N.B. this has been tried only on the 5787M 14e4:1693, please figure yourself how to modify to work with other BCM card, i can't test) |
