I have a stupid question, where is the user scripts folder ? how install/execute the script ?

In my case the network card is en0 is necessary edit the script for that works ?

Thanks.

In applications you have an application named "Apple Scripts" , there is the user scripts folder and the preferences pane so that you can mark the "Place scripts icon in the top bar" mark, once you have done that you go to the top bar>scripts icon>open user scripts folder and place the script there, once you have done this just plug in the Lan cable and go to scripts icon>Broadcom5787On and you should be able to connect once you write your password, you dont need to edit anything for the script to work..

Good luck:)

How about an App or script that can load/unload a kext? Sleep don't work with this kext.

Hey i have the sme laptop and everything works fine for me (albeit I have Leopard 10.5.4 installed), maybe upgrading to leo would help?

Thanks Ulin, I'm downloading it..slowwwwly

Btw did you manage to make the wifi board working ?!

AR5416        Atheros AR5008 Wireless Network adapter

Thanks !

[ulin]

Yeah the wifi worked out of the box for me with the Kallyway 10.5.2 install dvd, I'm not even sure which kext it uses
In fact, _everything_ works on my lappy now except for the tvout but I think I need to research a bit more on that (nvidia 8400GS 256mb).

Thanks magnat2, your script works without problems, but, to me like that the same script can load/unload the kext, the issue here is that after load the driver kext for 5787M the Sleep function no works (same problem that have collit99).

Sorry but the kext can't be unloaded, it crash.

Until someone make a proper port of the linux/freebsd driver we have to live with this.

Hi

I finally installed Jas 10.5.2 and it's working fine on my Acer 7720z.

Video : ok ( GM965 ) for the intel onboard video (not same board as you Ulin). It uses X3100 driver in fact.

Touchpad and keyboard : ok

Sound : ( Alc 268 ) patched with TarugaACL268Installer5.app then AppleHDA.kext (then repair permissions)

Network : ( Broadcom5787M ) patched with AppleBCM5787MEthernet.kext + script

Upgraded system through online Update everything except Os 10.5.5 update

I'm only missing the wifi board now : AR5416 Atheros AR5008 Wireless Network adapter

Someone got a solution for that ?!

Thank you all !

Alain.

In my laptop always need wireless network but not ethernet, then i modified the script BCM5787 of magnat2 for what load the driver & promisc mode only when i need use the network adapter, i only add 2 lines before that promisc commands are executed:

delay 5

do shell script "sudo kextload /AppleBCM5787MEthernet.kext" password "YourAdminPwd" with administrator privileges

The delay is for wait that driver is full loaded without delay sometimes no work ...

AppleBCM5787MEthernet.kext is in the root folder but i make this invisible with setFile (only a cosmetic fix).

At least only losses the sleep function only when i need wired network.

Try booting in safe mode, with -x at darwin boot screen, and install this kext (It´s the original one, the one that you have deleted) with kext helper...
Good luck!

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.

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.

working here, but kills sleep... Any way to get sleep working again? Great work though!
