DoughtCom Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I started another thread on here, this is killing me especially with the NON working wireless card in my Dell e1705/9400. I hope someone has some type of solution this is almost making me want to forget the whole OSX install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdttester2 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 In this spanish post, there is a fix. Fix for Broadcomm 440x network issue I have tried it, and now the Broadcom is working right. Broadcom 440x card works without a specific driver. Just with IOPCIFamily.kext and IONetWorkingFamily.kext Remove all AppleBCM kext files, and be sure you have IOPCIFamily.kext and IONetWorkingFamily.kext on /System/Library/Extensions Then, restart.... The problem has been fixed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
