Can u fix or check it? thnx anyway for your work very appreciated! hmm, i can check but i can't test, it gave kernel panic before because of a wrong value in buffer size, maybe there is another routine still unpatched around.

Man, you don't get an address from your router, you set it manually, as your pics show. are you sure that address is correct?, your router hasn't a DHCP server? what happen if you let the lan card get the address automatically? try to ping your router from a terminal window, try also to type ifconfig and look if the promiscuous mode is enabled en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,PROMISC,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 if not enabled the lan will not work!!! if the set_promisc script fail, you can try to force promiscuous mode using the terminal command "sudo tcpdump" then open another terminal and try again the ifconfig.

peterderkonig Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I have a BCM5787M in my laptop (Thinkpad R61e with Kalyway 10.5.2) and keep having the system hang when I try and boot with the kext installed. I install it, and it freezes in about 5-10s, and then it hangs about 10s after BSD root when booting up. Any ideas? I've already removed all other BCM kexts, both in /System/Library/Extensions as well as in IONetworkingFamily.kext/PlugIns. To clarify, it doesn't actually kernel panic, just freezes.
