Vladimirt, who have to upload? i'm no more on Leopard since august past year, maybe try a search on the forum.

Actually I tried 5787 driver on Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

On startup is says about dependencies problem in my IOCPIFamily.kext.

Maybe you can share your copy of this kext (which was used for tests of the new driver)

Thanks

Hello.
I replaced IOPCIFamily.kext with file from kexts.com.
Installed this kext, but during boot I saw line which says:
"AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext     0 0 start - mapping device memory failed"

Can you upload IOPCI from 10.5.8?

Also now AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext swears on dependencies from IOPCIFamily.kext

me too

But I use SL 10.6.2 native IOPCIFamily.kext and not remove native AppleBMC5701Ethernet.kext in IONetworkFamily.kext !

My Acer 4720Z 5701 driver not work!

thank you

I have some problems with my connection now. The Broadcom 5784 is still recognized as ethernet but it says 'Not Connected' and the Terminal says that en0 not exists. [I think it's because of the 10.6.3 update but I'm not shure. Does this kext work with 10.6.3?]
nevermind, it is in the first post that it works with 10.6.3...

Or you can try this too:

add the next line

ifconfig en0 lladdr 00:MA:CA:DD:RE:SS

in /etc/rc.local

I dont have rc.local in /etc/ ?
I'm using Snow Leopard.

hi
make your broadcom 5784M   /pci14e4,1698  work in SNOW LEOPARD 32 Bit
download nobb1x "5787M_32_64Bit_AppleBCM5701.zip" on first page.

-with an hex editor open :"AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext/Content/MacOs/AppleBCM5701Ethernet"
-search and replace all occurence of 66 3d "59 16" with 66 3d "98 16",
you˙ll replace it 53 times.
(i know what you think , (Bullshit)....53 times  ,no way,i can t do that !
my 2 cent ,pick last nobb1x 10.6.3 kext and edit only 16 times....uhhh)
-add the device id's 1698 in "AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext/Content/...Info.plist"
<string>pci14e4,1698</string>
-move IOnetworkingFamily.kext to your desktop
-copy/paste your new kext in "IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ and install with kext helper.reboot

you need to set your MAC Address 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 seems to me that this is too much fiddling to get it working.
I use the kext from Rubydream in another thread about the broadcom card.
http://forum.insanel...&...st&p=903347
This works right away, no installing extra scripts to get it to work for the same BCM5787M 14e4:1693 card.
Also claiming you can have the MAC address but only by hardcoding it in the driver.
I would like to see a driver reading the MAC from the card.

Can you up Your LAN driver fo me? Mine same You, but it isn't working?

Thanks so much

[MadMunky]

Can anyone help me please

I've installed the latest AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext from the front page into my /Extra/Extentions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/

Fixed the permissions etc.. done a reboot with -f -v but it still does not work on 10.6.3

LSPCI reports the card as a BCM5787M Gigabit 14e4:1693

only thing about the driver in the console logs is

AppleBCM5701Ethernet: 0 0 start - no acpi-device?

ifconfig does not list the card and its not show in network prefs

[nobb1x]

once again, if the driver don't find the card or give acpi detection errors the problem is in YOUR PC

try to have a read here http://www.insanelym...howtopic=183356 and see if it works
for you.
i never experienced a such problem.

[MadMunky]

I've gone back to the older driver so I dont get MAC address reading but at least its working again.

Will have a read though the link cheers, though I dont get why it works with the older driver and not the newer one and its a "my machine" issue

[dream08]

Hi,My card is BCM57780, Broadcom NetLink ™ Gigabit Ethernet 14e4:1692
I've already installed snow leopard 10.6.3,but my card just doesn't work.I used many ways.but my problem is still there. Can you please help me out?

[begna112]

hey, having trouble installing the 84M kext. or at least its not being effective. do i need to edit the hex before install the kext or after?  Im running 10.6.3 but it didnt work before i upgraded either so im assuming that doesnt make a difference

also the hex editor that is in the readme doesnt work. it doesnt show anythign in the kext. i had to download hexeditor 2.2 for mac which i found through google.

lastly do u think you could re-write the read me? its highly technical and/or written in very bad english. a nood to hackintosh version would be great. because normally the firs thing a person dies is try to get the internet working so its important to be able to understand it.

Thanks, begna112
